A phrase I've coined, a "distance" game is where the object is to throw or get a person or thing as far as possible. Examples: Flight, Burrito Bison, Polar Bear Sports, Kitten Cannon, etc. Though the concept has been around for ages, it died eons ago for me. Anyone know of a good twist or perhaps an idea that could bring much needed freshness to the genre?
You don't seem to get what I'm trying to tell you.
You consider those games to be extremely simplistic.
I consider them to be strategic.
There is always something to do to optimize your flight path or whatever you are doing. If you don't and simply let the thing fly by itself then you are pretty much not playing the game at all.

That is the point...I do basically let it fly by itself...yet I beat the game...very easily...
The only challenge is minimising the number of tries to finish, yet attain enough gold. There still is a semblance of difficulty in that, unless your only aim is simply to get to the end.
Distance Games? Always been a bit 'meh' to me, they're usually very grind orientated. Even if some of them do require strategy, all of them are basically the same game with different upgrades and characters.

It is your own choice to do so. By the same time you play a game, I beat you probably by half the time (in term of game unit) it took you to achieve the same thing.
Since the whole point of "distance games" is to do it as fast as possible, allow me to tell you that your technique fails to deliver.

20 min at best...while doing other things on the computer. That short amount of time, while also not even paying attention to what is happening..not really a great gaming experience
I have found my distance game exceptions. I have two. Chuck the Sheep and Into Space 2. If you incorporate something else you actually have to DO in it then it's more fun ^^
pangtongshu, you are simply ignoring simple facts.
You had a question, I have given you the correct answer. Now I am not saying that you absolutely need to agree with it if you don't like it. But stop bashing distance games simply because you force them to be bad to you...

1) I did not ask a question
2) I am not bashing them..I am stating why I find them...unsatisfactory. I am not forcing them to be bad to me...to me, they are bad. i understand others have different opinions, so if you'd like, i offer the following statement: All of what I have said are my opinions on launch/distance games.
