What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Silly Bandz (DS)

November 27th, 2025

I'm posting today while I boil up some cranberry sauce for a placeholder Thanksgiving ahead of a weekend snowstorm. I hope the snow fizzles out, but if it doesn't, it'll be some nice time off work anyway!

Last night, I got very amused that I had access to Silly Bandz for the DS and ended up playing it. I am maybe a bit too old to have been in on this trend, but I had some younger siblings that were and it seemed fun! Bright colors are fun, and it's cool for kids to have a cheerful, goofy fashion trend. The game is just if Angry Birds was really incompetent and only had 40 levels, of which I finished 39 last night. There's a lot of weird issues in this with the physics feeling off, or surfaces being sticky when they shouldn't be, so bad coding really brings down what could be a slight, but bright and kitchy game. I've gotta clear the last stage, though, as it is driving me crazy, so this game will appear here again.

I also played Kirby Air Riders for a while because I wanted to play something better. The top down races are super fun, so I played those online for a little bit! My skills are not really up to snuff for online competition, but I was having an excellent time. (This screenshot is from me messing around in training mode, though.)
