Yeah, Another Candystand Game. Who Works on Thursdays Anyway?

Here’s a distraction that’s sure to derail your workday. In the interest of going simpler, Candystand gives us Jetboost, a game where all you have to do is make the little jetpack-wearing man jump as high as he can.

Each level lasts just a few seconds, which strangely makes you want to do a bunch. Oh, the marketing magic of bite-size.

Addictive. But then again, shiny objects usually are when you have something more important to do.

Keep the volume down if you’re in your cubby hole — er, cubicle. To note, we’ve long since stopped noticing what candy is advertised – but, foreseeing this, Candystand since began forcing users to sit through a short ad while the game loads. Those clever candy peddling rogues.
