The 1-Upper: Excit
posted by dominic mercier
So, is it supposed to be exit or excite? Either way, I have to say that the word excite (or at least a clever version of it) isn’t normally applicable when talking about spreadsheets. And, to be honest, it isn’t exactly applicable with Excit over at Kongregate. The game dares you to escape a spreadsheet (gasp!), but does offer some fun puzzles as you progress through 30 levels. Think of this games as 2008’s Portal, but for number nerds and accountants.
Basically, you use the arrow keys to move your Microsoft Excel-like cross-shaped cursor out of the maze. Once you hit a direction key, it’ll keep moving until it hits an obstacle. Make it to the green square, and you’re off to the next level.
One thing that Excit has going for it is that it’s pretty much the most work-safe game ever made. Feel free to escape the evil clutches of the spreadsheet from your cube without anyone being the wiser (they’ll just think you’re really into your work).

Can’t. Stop. Playing…
