Gimme Friction Baby might seem like a throw-away arcade game with very little to it, but it's not the winner of Jay's 3rd game design comp without good reason. I was unconvinced at first too, but this thing is adictting. I won't bore you with details of how to play, partially because I am, of course, inherently lazy, and partially because part of the pleasure of this game is discovering how to play. Once you get into it though you'll find yourself coming back to it whenever you have a moment, and you'll become proud of insanely (seemingly) low scores - getting points seems incredibly difficult (or maybe it's just me). My hi-score currently is 18, but I'm sure I can beat that is I have just one ten more goes... [subbed by f00, Skizzarah & Sozz].

Brooklynviking81
:best so far is 13 this is a hard game
CoOkiie
:yay 7th!
Wolfy
:I love this game! It's really addicting!
.
:Not fun at all, but whatever floats your boat.
SQ2K5M
:The random bubble sizes for each game makes this game as a whole no fun at all. :(
Downward Spiral
:Sorry SQ, but your comment betrays your lack of understanding of how this game works. The bubble sizes are anything but random. Have some patience. Pay attention.
Higgo
:best so far is 15, this is so addictive it could end up getting me fired!!
Deschain
:Difficult, and not that fun to me. Not surprisingly, my high score is 1. >_>
Andiar
:i was going to submit this game too, i've been playing it loads since it was released. high score so far : 52
Jas
:21, and I have just used the 'close' button for the first time in an hour
Crushed_butterfly
:OK, I thought this game would be really hard. But all I can say is
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
if you know and remember algebra then this will help
Unless I am totally of the mark.
But anyway, I love it.
Crushed_butterfly
:I forgot to add that a quick hand is required.
Superhappyjen
:My high score is 5.
The bubbles grow:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
as big as they can without hitting a wall or another bubble
but obviously that hasn't helped me get a decent score
Kayla
:Oh goodness, I'm glad this is here. I've been playing it non-stop for three days now (off of Jayisgames). My hi-score is 30. Before that it was 18.
Andire: I bow down to you. 52?! That's amazing. I must try to beat it.
Roscoe
:28 my high
Shadriss
:I've been playing it off and on since it's release. My first impression was that it wasn't something I liked too much. After it was mentioned as one of the finalists, I went back and tried it again. Same result. Then it won. I tried it again. Still not a lot of fun. *shrug* I guess it's just not my kind of game. I understand how it works easilly enough, it IS a simple game, but somehow the mechanics just leave me a little... underwhelmed.
AaronzDad
:Apparently this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it things. Myself I don't understand how anyone could play it more than a few minutes. I've tried this game several times (hey, it DID win the JIG competition didn't it?) but every time I get sick of it after three or five minutes.
It's PAINFULLY slow and impossibly easy to lose.
Mostly it's just real slow. Really really.
I guess I'll stick with the thousands of levels of the game Phit.
SQ2K5M
:@Downward Spiral.... BITE ME!!!!!!!!!
Chimp
:this is great. so original.
Only thing is I can't work out any tactics for it - is it better to get some bubbles down the bottom to protect the line? And the bubbles aren't random, SQK
Guybrush
:Naah,not for me either. it has only one postive point and that is the music.the other parts are boring.
CT
:52??? Once I figured out what the heck I was supposed to do, I got a 3! A 3!!! I think that's all it took to fill me up on this one.
ZepolANT
:I'm so annoyed by this game that I keep playing..
Calvin
:Gimme Friction Baby is a line from the song `Get it on` by the norwegian band TURBONEGRO.
In case you wanna know.
Kayla
:Aaronzdad: Are you sure it isn't just slow for you? It works at a decent pace on my comp.
CT: You just have to keep trying! I went from having a hi of 1 to 4 to 8 to 16 to 30. It wasn't that quick though. When your score goes up, it tends to go up a lot.
Sozz
:21 so far. And a friend I sent the link to says her entire office stopped working to play it for most of the afternoon last week. All you'd hear, she said, was the occasional AAARGH! and quiet laughter from the rest.
FredFlinstone
:Concept might be cool but see if you are playing this game in a week and you know that you have no life.
Gabby WTF
:I do like the concept a lot, I just wish it were a little more fast-paced.
Corona
:You wanna try something a bit more deep? Try playing around with Jay Is Games' new front page top banner.
Kayla
:Fred: I already know I have no life. I don't have to play this for a week to know that. Waking up and playing it first thing in the morning was a big hint.
Michelle
:My high score so far is 1. I don't really think I will be playing this one again soon.
RoseBlood
:I love the simplicity of this game. Only made it to 14 so far but have it bookmarked for further time wasting fun :)
CT
:@Kayla - I don't have the attention span for that! I'll take being trapped in a room with clues in the garbage, under a rug, and behind the window shades any day!
Kayla
:@CT: That's funny. I'd much rather play this game than an escape the room game (which I do love dearly) that isn't in English. I can't handle those foreign lang. games where it's mostly just clicking around in the hopes of getting lucky.
I mainly have been playing this game so much because I haven't found any escape room games that I've liked lately. I'll open a new game, see some strange characters, and I just close the window.

:High score...12...I hate the game so much...but I can't stop playing...It's taken over!!!
Vgaforums.com

Candyd

Bahbar
:Man, this game sucks. If only one could aim, instead of praying for the time when one needs to press the mouse!
Ems
:i am going to kill whoever posted this game. i swear. my high score is 2... 2!!!!! i SO suck!!! but yes... it is addictive and damn annoyin too!
GRRRRRRRR
Jude
:i got 22! i'm finally getting better at it
Kayla
:It just takes time. I'm still stuck at 30. I'm aiming for a 39+ so I can beat a friend of mine. We have a competition going on. Sad thing is, he's much better than me.

No, it's got nothing to do with algebra... mechanics, maybe - snooker/billiards/pool, definitely, but not algebra.
William recko
:addicted to it at work when on break, Highest is 42, want higher, we have competition at work and scores posted up, mine is the highest then 40
Hikari no sakura
:simple physics is best~
Joe
:my high is 116. boom.
Siesto
:i got 36 beat that
