Onto Littler and Lesser Things

2010-11-22T21:45:00.000-06:00

Writing longish blog posts has been taking too much time lately, so I've started a Google Buzz feed and a Twitter account where I'll post games that I find and like. Sharing links and blurbs are so much easier when you don't have large chunks of time available very often. :)

See you there.

Liquid Measure 2

2010-11-12T18:47:00.000-06:00

Liquid Measure 2 is a volume puzzle game. Fill up the containers, but don't go over or it will spill out, and don't go under or you'll have to be a pessimist.

Play Liquid Measure 2!

Wake Up The Box 2: Office Edition

2010-10-08T20:48:00.001-05:00

A new installment of the Wake Up the Box ~~series~~ saga. Same song, second verse, a little bit louder and a little bit worse. (Actually it's good, not worse. Give it a try.)

Play Wake Up The Box 2: Office Edition!

The Trader of Stories: Bell's Heart

2010-10-01T20:58:00.001-05:00

The first episode of a new point and click adventure series from Pastel Games. Great art and story going on. Not quite mainstream, but I like games like that.

Play The Trader of Stories: Bell's Heart!

Grow Valley

2010-09-24T20:36:00.000-05:00

New Eyezmaze game out! Grow Valley continues the great tradition of all the Grow games, with some fun new features. Yeah, you're still trying to figure out the correct order to choose the objects, but how the object "directors" work together is a cool addition.

Play Grow Valley!

The Ninja

2010-09-10T19:18:00.000-05:00

Haven't you always wanted to be a ninja? Or wanted to know what it's like? The Ninja is a meticulous look at ninja-ness; it's probably exactly what ninjas really do, and how they act. I'm sure they hug the wall and do jumping jacks at the same time. Ninjas are forever saying "Gaaaaaa" when faced with danger, right?

Play The Ninja!

WayWords

2010-08-27T22:54:00.000-05:00

Boggle meets Scrabble, and maybe a little Sudoku thrown in there, too. You're dealt four letters at a time, and allowed to place them anywhere on the 4x4 square. Lock in that placement, and get the next four letters. As soon as you create a four-letter-word, it's removed from the screen, giving you more room to get rid of the rest of the letters. Your goal is a high score.

Play WayWords!

Depict1

2010-08-20T14:54:00.001-05:00

I love it when games have a back story to tell that blends in with gameplay. Depict1 is a platformer on the surface, but at it's heart is a puzzle game. Your shadowed guide has your best interests at heart, or does he? That smile looks awfully sketchy. Perhaps you should take his advice with a grain of salt.

Although the element of untrustworthy guide has been done before (Portal, Loved) it's not done so much that the idea has lost its luster. Plus, the ending of this game veers from where Portal went, making it unique in its own right, as well as open to interpretation.

Game play is straightforward, and wasn't too hard for this hand-eye-coordination-challenged person. A couple levels took a few tries, but I never ended up banging my head against the keyboard. This was in part due to checkpoints. Nothing takes the wind out of your sails like having to repeat the whole devil level over again. The final level took more than a few tries, but was very worth it.

Play Depict1!

Dismantlement: Burger

2010-08-13T09:46:00.010-05:00

I am a little in love with the Dismantlement series, the most recent of which is today's game. We've taken apart a radio, a tea cannister, a mouse, an alarm clock, a fan, and an HDD. Today we are taking apart a hamburger.

This burger you might not want to take a bite out of. I firmly believe that any food that can be disassembled with a screwdriver should not be eaten. (Talk about processed food...) However, it makes for a fun project.

Play Dismantlement: Burger!

Phage Wars

2010-08-06T15:09:00.000-05:00

This game is older, but I just came across it for the first time a couple days ago and loved it. It's a predecessor to Pixel Legions of recent coverage.

If you've ever wondered what goes on in the petri dish beneath the microscope, here's your chance to see. I'm sure it's exactly like this. Warring cellular factions, decked out in their tribal colors, dividing like crazy to overtake the enemies of lesser DNA. Survival of the fittest rules, so you need to decide what attribute will help you continue to exist. At the beginning you choose between a balance of Strength, Speed, and Agility. Or you can just choose which color you like best, which may not help so much in game play, but can do wonders for your state of mind if you are vogue that way. (Hint: #00FFFF not so trendy right now.)

Gameplay is quite simple. Click a cell you control and click a cell you want to colonize, and half of the force will travel to the uninhabited cell. The strength of the cells are represented by numbers. Attack your enemy by clicking on your (hopefully strong) cell and then sending them over to an enemy cell. The beginning levels tell you how strong enemy cells are, but you lose that intel as you progress. Enemy cells are with out numbers, and you have to guess how much it'll take to overcome them.

Strategy is not quite as simple as gameplay. If you expand quickly you get more real estate, but your cells are weak and easy for the enemy to overcome. But if you hunker down and go all defense, you won't generate enough cell strength to defeat the enemy, especially since you know they'll be all up ons empty cells and procreating like crazy.

Visual game design is great. It lends to the game's atmosphere, and isn't distracting at all. The ambient soundtrack is a nice touch, too.

Play Phage Wars!

Ragdoll Cannon 3

2010-07-30T22:18:00.000-05:00

I didn't cover Ragdoll Cannon 2, because I wasn't as impressed with it as I was the first (but by all means, play it if you haven't yet). But Ragdoll Cannon 3 I really enjoyed. Just like the first one, aim and click the mouse to catapult the floppy match stick figures onto the goal area, cleverly labeled "HERE." There's a penalty for shooting too many, but it's only points; you can finish each level no matter the how much ammo you use. (Is it insensitive to call the poor raggedy guys ammo?)

Play Ragdoll Cannon 3!

Coma

2010-07-23T23:04:00.000-05:00

It's more the type of game you experience than the type that you explain. Or maybe I'm just feeling lazy.

Play Coma!

Easy Joe

2010-07-16T21:13:00.001-05:00

Joe wants to see the world. Including, but not limited to, elephants, televisions, t-shirts, cannons, levers, sailors, hamburgers, helicopters, and well attended pink bunny parties. Give him a hand with your little clicker pointer finger and that left mouse button. He'll be living his dream in no time.

Play Easy Joe!

Crush the Castle 2

2010-07-09T10:25:00.000-05:00

Yay! More castles to crush! The first Crush the Castle game was a solid concept and executed well. The second one doesn't disappoint either. You get many more different kinds of ammo to play around with, and some levels even have a sort of puzzle aspect to them rather than trying brute force. They attempt to add a story line to the game, but I felt like it fell flat. But it didn't end up mattering because I really enjoyed going through all the levels.

Play Crush the Castle 2!

The Tin Soldier

2010-07-02T22:23:00.001-05:00

An artsy-fartsy point and click adventure that is perhaps trying a little too hard, but I still had fun playing through. The puzzles were sometimes a little bit of a reach, but the style was solid for its genre. The music did a lot for the melancholy mood. I'm not sure if there's some deeper symbolism to the whole story laid out in the game. I'm sure it all means something...

Play The Tin Soldier!

Pixel Legions

2010-06-25T13:28:00.000-05:00

One on one. Or one on two. Or one on seven. It's you against any number of enemies. You're all alone. Fortunately, all the other enemies are on their own, too, so you're rarely teamed up against, in true melee fashion. Unfortunately, you can only be green. What's up with that?

The square base that generates pixel armies at regular intervals, and you can join to make larger armies. If you keep a couple different groups of pixels, you can flank your pixel enemies and take them out much quicker.

No need to use your keyboard for this game; it's mouse-controlled. Click a pixel group to select them, and then drag them to where you would like them to be.

The difficulty ramp is quite good at the beginning, making it just difficult enough to keep it interesting, but easy enough to progress. I had a harder time in later levels, and gave up after trying to beat a level ten or more times. Then again, military strategy has never been one of my strong points. Still, I had tons o' fun playing those initial levels. You can, too!

Play Pixel Legions!

Entanglement

2010-06-18T20:54:00.000-05:00

Entanglement is a board game, yet it's on your computer screen. Turn tiles by tapping the arrow keys, and then lay tiles down by left-clicking. Loop-de-loo around the hexagon and try to make your line as long as possible. Back-tracking through tiles already laid is highly recommended.

I got kind of addicted to this game, though it's not really a new idea. I guess it was unique enough to grab my attention for a while.

Play Entanglement!

Heir

2010-06-11T22:51:00.000-05:00

Think of Heir as a Flash-based Shadow of the Colossus. Actually, just downgrade everything from Shadow of the Colossus, and you've got Heir.

Notwithstanding it's obvious inspiration/knock-off-ed-ness, Heir is a fun game. A 'Pale Man' arrives from the North to save a kingdom from titanic creatures by maneuvering up their bodies to a soft and squishy spot on their heads and putting them out of their misery with a sword. The fun part is figuring out how to get past the obstacles, and seeing what you did get past when the screen pans back.

The physics in this game is pretty good; I caught on quickly to how to jump. I also really liked the 'scout' option to see what was coming ahead. Music was okay, but looped too quickly.

Play Heir!

Ninja-Pi-Ro

2010-06-04T10:45:00.001-05:00

At first glance I didn't think I would enjoy this game with the kiddie art design and overdone ninja/pirate/robot meme, but I was pleasantly surprised. You're trying to make your way into a factory to regain a stolen blue diamond. There's three characters at your disposal: ninja, pirate, and robot. Each has a different set of skills that will help you through the obstacles.

This game isn't going to win any awards, but give it a shot. It's a fun diversion.

Play Ninja-Pi-Ro!

Sprocket Rocket

2010-05-28T13:27:00.026-05:00

Wallace and Gromit are up to shenanigans again, this time in Flash and on the internets. They've built a rocket... egg-shaped... thingy... and they're using it to get around a warehouse (not a were-house) and collect cogs. Of course it's not so straightforward as that. These cogs and sprockets are in difficult to reach places, and you have to figure out how to get them.

Use the garage type spaces to design add-on shapes for the rocket that will help you get at the sprockets. As you collect more and more sprockets, the types of add-ons you can use increase, thus helping you to get even more sprockets!

I've found this to be a challenging game, but well-made. Style and gameplay are solid, and the music makes me feel like I'm actually watching a Wallace and Gromit movie.

Play Sprocket Rocket!

[Insert Lame Excuse Here]

2010-05-21T16:52:00.000-05:00

I'm going to be playing catch up so make up for all the Friday game posts I've missed so far this year. There's actually six days I neglected, so you're going to get more than your usual dose of casual gaming for recompense of skipped days. They'll be back-dated, so don't get confused.

This is the Only Level TOO

2010-05-21T16:45:00.000-05:00

If after playing This is the Only Level, you had issues with seeing little blue elephants running around your line of vision, then maybe the sequel will be therapeutic. Or exacerbate your problem. Either way, give it a play.

The gameplay is pretty much the same as the original. Get to the gate by first maneuvering your little blue elephant to the red button which opens said gate. The title of each level holds a clue of how to open the gate or get to the button. Clever, clever.

Enjoy listening/tearing-out-your-hair to the bouncy accordion polka music!

Play This is the Only Level TOO!

Super Mario Bros. Crossover

2010-04-30T19:06:00.001-05:00

Super Mario Bros. Crossover has been making the rounds in the browser game sphere this week. It's a pleaser for those who loved the Games of Yore. Mega Man, Link from Legend of Zelda, Bill R. from Contra, Simon from Castlevania, and Samus Aran from Metroid, as well as the original Mario are all playable characters in the original game screens of original Mario. The characters even have their native attacks. Let me tell you, it's much more fun to incapacitate a goomba with a gun attached to your arm than with fireballs.

Play Super Mario Bros. Crossover!

Splume

2010-04-23T16:13:00.000-05:00

Splume's game mechanic has been around for a while, but I don't think I've ever seen with with an almost puzzle-like bent and so shiny. It kind of has a World of Goo feel to it.

Shoot your blobs of many colors and connect three of the same color to pop the blobs. Some of the levels actually took me a couple of times to do, mostly because the blob's rather juicy explosions would the move the remaining blobs to inaccessible locations. But I didn't get frustrated enough to quit. I played through the 32(?) levels, and was entertained.

Play Splume!
(Requires Unity Player plugin)

Thanks to Braden for suggesting Splume!

ClueSweeper

2010-04-16T20:49:00.001-05:00

I first became a serious Minesweeper addict during my high school Computer Applications class. (Don't worry, I finished my work first.) My best time was around 120 on Expert, and I was always jealous of my younger sister who had it down to about 100. I'm still a sucker for a good minesweeper variation.

ClueSweeper is like Minesweeper with a murder mystery level added to it. Each square/puzzle piece is a clue, and you can only click so many squares. You need to be judicious and figure out which squares have clues, which is where the minesweeping comes in. The murder mysteries are easy to solve, but the achievements can be quite difficult to obtain.

You can play in Story Mode to get the drama, or endless mode to solve puzzles unhindered by plot, or play against a human or AI opponent to make it harder.

ClueSweeper isn't going to win any awards, but I had fun playing it.

Play ClueSweeper!

Also, feel free to brag about your best Minesweeper score in the comments. :)

Home Sheep Home

2010-04-09T20:31:00.022-05:00

Meet the three sheep: Shaun, Shirley, and Timmy. Shirley is heavier than Shaun and Timmy. Timmy can jump higher than Shaun and Shirley. Shaun has his very own TV show. Strengths and weaknesses. Yes, strengths and weaknesses.

Guide each of the three sheep to the arrowed sign post at the end. Swap between moving each sheep using the 1, 2, and 3 keys. You'll have to use each sheep's skills to traverse each screen. It's not too difficult though; mostly, it's fun.

I'm feeling slightly unbalanced because the plural of sheep is sheep.

Play Home Sheep Home!

4 Differences

2010-04-02T20:30:00.016-05:00

Another addition to the Differences series of games. A great set of games if you love using your optical organs as well as enjoying the view, because there's some really beautiful scenes, too. You'll feel relaxed by the time you're done, what with all the pretty views and tranquil music.

Play 4 Differences!

Specter Spelunker Shrinks

2010-03-26T21:32:00.000-05:00

Specter Spelunker Shrinks is a great new game with a new take on puzzle platformers. The title kind of gives it away: the guy shrinks. But you use the ability to change sizes to get through the level. Controls are simple: left and right arrows to go left and right, z to jump, and up and down arrows to grow or shrink.

Playing through the first time I kept getting annoyed at dying so much, but there are enough checkpoints so it's not totally frustrating. After I finished I felt so proud that I got through the whole thing that I didn't mind the puzzles in the long run. I haven't liked a game so much in a while. It's just got that sense of fulfillment at the end.

The graphics aren't fabulous, the music gets old after a while, but the game concept is really great. I'm probably talking it up too much, but I love the new approach to platforming.

Play Specter Spelunker Shrinks!

Note: This game requires the Unity plugin. Yeah, it's annoying to have yet another plugin for your browser, but I think this game is fun enough to warrant it. It's safe.

Factory Balls 3

2010-03-19T21:38:00.000-05:00

One of my favorite Bart Bonte games, and now there's three of them! Same deal as the others, try and copy the master ball with the paint and plungers and goggles and belts and hats and other whatnots. And revel in that feeling of accomplishment when you figure it out.

Play Factory Balls 3!

One Button Bob

2010-03-12T22:42:00.000-06:00

This game is much more fun with out an introduction. I will say that it's pretty short, a platformer (kind of), puzzly, and has a fun gimmick.

Play One Button Bob!

Cubor

2010-03-05T21:12:00.000-06:00

A fun three dimension puzzle game where you move the blocks around so they can all get to their corresponding color home. I enjoyed this less than I thought I would, but liked the feel of it, so I went ahead and posted it.

Play Cubor!

Eon

2010-02-26T14:31:00.001-06:00

Eon is a retro take on Auditorium, and just as much fun. Use gravity wells to draw "stuff", as the directions so aptly call it, away from the variously colored orbs and collect enough of it in the corresponding color area to finish the level. It's got a fun pixel-y design and space age mood music to get you into the feel of it.

I'm stumped at level 14. How far did you get?

Play Eon!

Wake the Royalty

2010-02-19T21:20:00.000-06:00

Wake the Royalty is the sequel to Wake up the Box, but I liked this one better, so I'm covering it.

In this game you use the given shapes to move the scenery around so it bumps or pushes the apparently royal shapes with eyes. There's twenty-five levels of startling awake goodness. I feel like the style could use some more sleekness and coolness, but gameplay is still quite fun.

Play Wake the Royalty!

WereBox

2010-02-12T20:30:00.027-06:00

Though not quite so dangerous as perhaps a were-wolf or were-rabbit, were-boxes are still formidable. They have the unnerving ability to shape-shift, literally, square to circle. The were-boxes are locked in a grand battle of good versus evil, blue versus red. And you, my friend, are stuck in the middle of it.

Each level needs to be rid of the red boxes, while preserving each and every blue box. Casualties are not acceptable. You'll use the blue boxes by shifting them back and forth between box and circle, using the terrain to move them while in circle mode. Some of the boxes don't have the ability to shift, and they apparently smoke (see picture), denoting deficiency? Not sure about that one...

Overall a fun idea executed fairly well.

Play WereBox!

Hormiga Escape

2010-02-05T16:53:00.015-06:00

Hormiga Escape (or as I like to say it, Hormiga Ess-cah-pay) is a one screen point and click game. There's a poor little trapped ant that needs help traversing the screen to her ant hill home. It'll take some ingenuity to get past all the obstacles. Fortunately there aren't too many of those obstacles, so you'll be done in a jiffy. And the little ant will appreciate it so much!

Play Hormiga Escape!

Need a hint?

Starlight

2010-01-29T19:49:00.001-06:00

Starlight isn't a particularly difficult game. Align the stars so that you can see the constellation. It's rather relaxing. If you feel the need to make it more difficult, play in the timed mode. However, I enjoyed just sitting back and enjoying the scenery with out worrying about a pesky clock.

Play Starlight!

Clockwords: Prelude

2010-01-22T16:22:00.001-06:00

Fun word game today! Clockwords: Prelude is kind of like a mixture of Boggle, tower defense, speed typing, and a shooter. It's got a bit of a steam punk thing going on. But mostly it's a word game.

Defend your inventing secrets from your rival by typing words, as many and as fast as you can. The words turn into ammo for your gun to stave off the mechanical spy spiders (spy-ders... bwa-hahah!) who have come to steal your secrets from your safe. You can use any non-proper English word you want, but the words count for more if you use the letters given in the canisters above the typing field. Get more damage-causing canister letters by using all of the letters given in one word, up to 7 letters. If you use all 8 letters, the spiders are temporarily halted, and you can wreak havoc with your formidable vocabulary!

After you finish each level, you can create special ability letters to keep in your boiler tank of canister letters. Combine letters of the same level, denoted by the number of dots underneath, to create the next level of letter. Combine two level five letters, and you get the special ability letters. I'll let you figure out what those are on your own. Have fun seeing what happens when you put letters together, but make sure you keep a good selection of letters to draw from for the main game or coming up with words is going to be harder than necessary. Or maybe you're just that much of a word fiend that you love coming up with long words containing two X's, five Q's, three P's, and one E.

And can I just put in a word for the music? I love it when the music really adds to the atmosphere like it does in this game. When you get close to the end an/or close to losing (not that that ever happened to me) the music gets really intense and cool.

Play Clockwords: Prelude!

Hoshi Saga Ringu

2010-01-15T12:16:00.000-06:00

Hoshi Saga games have been around for a few years. I haven't covered any of them here, and with this game that error has been remedied. In all of the Hoshi Saga games there are levels and a star is hidden in each one. You manipulate the stages to find the star in obvious or clever ways. It's a great puzzle game.

Hoshi Saga Ringu is the latest of the series. It's looking really polished and I thoroughly enjoyed the puzzles this time around. I hope you enjoy them, too!

Play Hoshi Saga Ringu!

Little Wheel

2010-01-08T23:43:00.001-06:00

What if the world were run by robots? The cute robots in this point-and-click get their juice from a central power core, but it loses power and the world goes all Sleeping Beauty. You get to play the role of Prince Charming and wake everyone up again, with out the kissing though.

Little Wheel is a straight-forward game with an art design style that I really liked. The puzzles aren't difficult at all, which for me makes the journey more enjoyable. You can enjoy the scenery, and the jazzy music makes for a nice mood, too.

Play Little Wheel!

Bubble Tanks Tower Defense

2010-01-01T22:04:00.001-06:00

I haven't done any tower defense games, although Plants vs. Zombies was recommended a couple of times. (If they had a browser version, I'd totally cover it.) Bubble Tanks Tower Defense is a... um... tower defense game based on the Bubble Tanks games previously posted here. Your objective is to obliterate the waves of enemies by creating a barrier of towers with different abilities. I like how balanced this tower defense game is compared to others in the same genre. It's got a smooth look, too.

Play Bubble Tanks Tower Defense!

Avalanche

2009-12-25T18:58:00.001-06:00

If you can take a minute from your holiday festivities, Avalanche will entertain, I promise. Guide the penguin through the snow and obstacle-covered hills to the end of the course with out getting caught by the avalanche at your tail. So basically, don't mess up at all, and you'll be good, otherwise you're a snow sandwich. So far my favorite level is the rocket level, which made me get the giggles. With all the snow and wintry weather and penguins (because Antarctica is totally where Santa summers), you'll feel positively festive.

Play Avalanche!

Paradoxion Express

2009-12-18T17:19:00.002-06:00

Paradoxion Express is a free Flash version of the downloadable Paradoxion. Remove all of the orbs from the game board by placing the given orbs and causing a chain reaction. Each reaction pushes against the orbs to its side. Starts out simple, and progressively gets more complicated, as games well should be. (Who'd want a game that started out on the hardest level and progressively got easier??)

This is a new type of spin on the chain reaction game mechanic, which is refreshing.

Play Paradoxion Express!

Continuity

2009-12-11T12:52:00.002-06:00

Continuity has a very different approach to platforms; each screen that you traverse can move, a la slide puzzle. Simple, in that you only have to obtain the red key and get to the door, but complicated in that you have to figure out which screens match each other so you can get to the key and the door.

Play Continuity!

LEGO Star Wars: The Quest for R2D2

2009-12-04T12:57:00.022-06:00

I loved LEGO Star Wars for Nintendo GameCube and Wii. This game is in that same vein, though the game play is a bit different. You're still running around using your light saber to hack the bad guys into pieces (literally... LEGO pieces), and you're still collecting jewels, but you have a life system in this browser version. If you lose too many lives you have to start the level over. For that reason I don't like this smaller LEGO Star Wars game nearly as much. Well, that, and it's not as funny. But if you couldn't get enough of the original, this should sate your appetite a bit.

Play LEGO Star Wars: The Quest for R2D2!

FYI: There is a plug-in that you need to download to play this game. It's the Unity plug-in, and I haven't had any problems with it, so don't let that stop you from playing.

Gridz

2009-11-27T18:29:00.001-06:00

I'm busy eating turkey, so not a long spiel for this game. There's really good instructions given through out the game anyway. Basically just get all the power conduits connected so they're all powered.

Cargo Bridge

2009-11-20T16:19:00.002-06:00

Build a bridge using walkways and wooden connectors so your box movers can retrieve the packages (or elephants) from across the chasms. You have a limited budget, so you need to watch your funds. Keep in mind that wooden connectors are cheaper than the walkways, but your movers can only walk on walkways. Build the bridge in design mode. When you think you've got a sturdy bridge, press the test it out button.

Play Cargo Bridge!

Small Worlds

2009-11-13T16:20:00.000-06:00

Every year Jay Is Games has a casual game competition. A theme is chosen, and then entrants only have a few weeks to design and complete a whole game around the concept. This year the theme was Explore. A game called Small Worlds won, and with good reason. It encapsulated the idea of exploring perfectly into casual game format.

It's extremely simple, yet still manages to be compelling. Or at least I thought so. There's no objective other than to explore your surroundings. Beautiful images, beautiful gameplay, and even beautiful music.

Play Small Worlds!

Dismantlement: Radio

I haven't seen a game quite like this, and I'm posting it because I always enjoy another approach to casual games. Your goal is to totally dismantle the radio by unscrewing the screws and figuring out the puzzles. I did really well until the last puzzle... I'm wondering how you'll do.

Pumpkin Remover

2009-10-30T17:01:00.002-05:00

Keep all the happy pumpkins from falling off the screen, and remove the rotten frowning pumpkins. Simple at first, but when you add in varying gravities depending on which way the pumpkin is turned, things get complicated quickly. There's 20 pumpkin-y levels to keep you occupied this Halloween. Enjoy!

Icycle

2009-10-23T12:43:00.001-05:00

Icycle is cute little game that I lack the skill to get through, yet I still enjoy playing it. Apparently set in a post-apocalyptic world (or maybe not, but it's just fun to say 'post-apocalyptic'), the game has a little naked (yet modest!) man riding a bicycle through a dangerous icy landscape collecting frozen bubbles in the air. Your arrow keys are all you need to maneuver around. There are several levels, each of which contain a couple of screens. When you finish the game you get a prize for your little guy. Or so I hear.

Picma

2009-10-16T14:30:00.003-05:00

Use your vast logic skills in this game! There's a grid with numbers on the top and the left. The numbers correspond to each column and row, and indicate how many groups of squares are to be filled, and how many in each group. You start out with a 5x5 grid. Pretty easy. But the game progresses to 25x25 size grids that are downright nasty.

There's no downside to making mistakes other than affecting your time. You'll use the paint and x-mark down at the bottom of the window. You won't be utilizing the 'x' much at first, but as the puzzles become more complicated, it becomes your best friend. Also, maybe I'm just a dummie, but make sure you remember to switch colors if the puzzle uses more than one. I had many a puzzle rack up to over an hour long because I was happily clicking a row of boxes that were supposed to be green, not black.

This game is well-polished and good-lookin' compared to it's original predecessor, Picross. I think I may be addicted. To begin the game, click the 'Apprentice' button to start the easier puzzles.

Legend of the Golden Mask

2009-10-09T15:35:00.001-05:00

Legend of the Golden Mask is a story version of find-the-hidden-objects games. The story a bit cheesy (okay, a lot cheesy), but if you like finding hidden objects, the game is pretty fun. Find hidden question marks to get hints about object locations. Find hidden golden cubes for extra puzzles throughout the game. There's also some mini-puzzles between levels!

Play Legend of the Golden Mask!

Copy Cat: A Painter's Puzzle

2009-10-02T14:11:00.000-05:00

Copy Cat reminds me a lot of Factory Balls, which I really enjoyed. It does, however, add another aspect to recreating the given scene/object; you also have to accurately place shapes that copy the painting. The object is to recreate the picture with so much percentage of it correct, so there is some room for error.

There's thirty levels to play. My brain starts to hurt after so many though, so I can't say I've finished all of them.

If you love it, there's also a level editor.

Gray

2009-09-25T17:30:00.001-05:00

How about some esoterica? Gray is a game with a philosophical side. The gameplay isn't challenging at all: Just convince all the people of the opposite color to become your color by having your "conversation" meet in the middle. Once you've convince everyone, you apparently end up changing your mind. A few times...

I find the game and ending really thought provoking. I'd like to see what other people think of it, and how they interpret it.

Power Up

2009-09-18T15:17:00.001-05:00

One robot head is powered-up, and the other robot head is dead. Build a bridge of metal blocks to connect the two robots so they can both be alive!

There's more than just the average blocks available though. You'll get magnet blocks so you can defy gravity. You'll get Tesla blocks that appear to defy the laws of physics. Use your ingenuity; you'll need it to figure out how to get the amount of blocks you have to the other side.

The physics in this game is a bit annoying sometimes. Barely nudging one block into another will knock it halfway across the screen. It takes a steady hand. But I enjoyed the puzzle aspect so much, I was willing to forgive.

The Wizard's Notebook

2009-09-11T08:42:00.003-05:00

Although this is a platform game that requires some jumping skills, it mostly relies on your way with words and cleverness. You need to find a way to get the stick man to the star. Sometimes you have to jump, sometimes you have to remove an obstacle, but you always have to figure out which word to write. The written word manipulates the level around you.

The only critique I have of this original and good looking game is the lag. Sometimes when typing it would skip a letter, and back space and delete are finicky. But other than that, I enjoyed this new approach to a casual game.

Play The Wizard's Notebook!

This Is The Only Level

2009-09-04T15:51:00.000-05:00

Remember Achievement Unlocked from a while ago? This game is from the same creators, and is a similar game. There's only one level. All you have to do is maneuveur that little familiar blue elephant across the screen to the exit point. So it should be easy to beat, right? But, oh, the many ways that they came up with for you to overcome that single level. I'm not going to give away any more than that, because it's more fun to discover the game's features yourself.

99 Bricks: Legend of Garry

2009-08-28T14:20:00.000-05:00

I've always loved Tetris, so I like when I find good Tetris-ish games. This one has the added bonus of a backstory.

With tetris-shaped stone bricks, you "build walls" to rebuild a kingdom that has been taken over by the Bad Guy. There's levels where you only get a few bricks and have to solve a puzzle to fit them in the allotted space. There's levels where you have to reach a certain height with a limited number of bricks. And there's level where you have to use every single brick with out losing a single one. It's easy at the beginning and gets pretty challenging later on.

At the beginning of the game you start out the the normal Tetris brick shapes. As you defeat the levels, you unlock new brick shapes, which adds to the difficulty. The bricks don't necessarily stay put. If your tower is precarious they can slide around, or even off into the abyss.

The music gets boring after a while. It's okay, but they should have had some more songs for different levels. But overall I really like the game. I haven't beaten it yet; four more levels to go!

The Great Escape Series

2009-08-21T14:33:00.001-05:00

This zany and colorful escape game series started with The Great Kitchen Escape, and it was all uphill from there. Like all of the games in the escape genre, you're stuck in a room and have to use objects from your surroundings to finagle your way out. However, these games stand out from the rest of the escape crowd.

The finale game lets you explore all the previous rooms from the games. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which I appreciate; there's some groovy music in the background, and the art and animation are funky cool. Another treat is the mystery that you solve at the end. It all comes together! Together they are some of my favorite escape games ever. And also together, they'll keep you occupied for a couple of hours.

Grow (version 3) Remake

2009-08-14T11:22:00.000-05:00

A few games from the Eyezmaze Grow series have been covered here before (Grow Island, Grow Tower). Eyezmaze has released a new version of the original Grow game, cleverly named Grow Remake.

It's a bit more difficult than other Grow games, since there are twelve items to get in order. That means there's a lot more possibilities! Fortunately, there's a built-in hint system that gives you more help the more times you play.

If you've played the original Grow game, this remake should still be worth your while. There's a hidden ending that's very different from the first version.

2009-07-31T07:04:00.001-05:00

Let's carry on, shall we?

If you've played World of Goo, then you're well prepared for this game. It has a very similar gameplay, and a bazillion levels, too. Create towers and structures around obstacles and up to the moon. Once part of your building touches the moon, you've completed the level. Add some more challenge to the game by trying to limit the amount of nodes used.

Another awesome addition: You can create your own levels for the game.

CGF 2.0

2009-07-30T14:23:00.004-05:00

I've moved all previously posted games and comments on those posts from my old blog over to this new blog. I'm disassociating it entirely. Or trying to at least...

I'll start posting games again tomorrow. Something to look forward to!

Crush the Castle

2009-05-08T08:40:00.004-05:00

Here's something a little different. Crush the Castle is a shooter type game set long ago when trebuchets were the siege weapon of choice. Use various types of ammo and the correct aim to knock the castles down and, ahem, do in everyone inside the castles. There's a campaign of four and twenty castles to get through that will make your afternoon go by quickly. I'm up to level 21.

This game probably isn't too kid-friendly; when the castle-inhabitants die, there's digital blood and a scream. It's not gory, but just thought I'd let you know.

Play Crush the Castle!

Gen

2009-04-17T17:58:00.001-05:00

Gen is a physics game where you try to sling the balls of light to the goal while avoiding the obstacles. There's 20 levels to beat, and they get pretty darn hard. It's a pretty looking game, though, and I like the gameplay. Nice, chill music, too.

Play Gen!

Ritris

2009-04-03T14:06:00.001-05:00

Who hasn't wished they could control what pieces they got when playing Tetris? Ritris lets you play Tetris, upsidedown kind of, and draw your own four-block pieces. Finally! I get to use what pieces I want to!

Use your mouse to drag out the shape you want at the bottom of the screen. You only have so many bricks you can use. It'll let you know how many turns you have until a new row shows up. The game doesn't have many frills, but it's still pretty fun if you're a Tetris fan.

Play Ritris!

Ice Breaker: The Red Clan

2009-03-27T15:12:00.003-05:00

Hurray! Another Ice Breaker game is released! There's forty more levels to play through. It's starting to get pretty complicated, though. The premise is the same: get the viking crew back to the viking ship. Except for now the vikings have red hair! It's totally different! (And of course there's other new game elements added as well.)

GlueFO 2.0

2009-03-20T14:51:00.001-05:00

As opposed to a regular old UFO...

You're still fighting off enemies and space debris (orbs), but you don't get any weaponry. See,

"GlueFO manufacturers could not afford conventional weaponry due to a credit crunch caused by bad subprime mortgages."

It happens to the best of us. Look on the bright side, though!

"Your GlueFO does have a forcefield generator."

And meet the circular objects:

"This is a tiny orb, it is your friend.
"Tiny orbs stick to the forcefield.
"This is a big orb, it is not your friend, it will hurt you."

Use the tiny sticky orbs by clicking the mouse to shoot them off into the bigger orbs, which will split into smaller orbs. You win the level when all the large orbs have divided enough into the tiny orbs.

Play GlueFO 2.0!

Ninja Ropes

2009-03-13T10:38:00.001-05:00

I am ashamed to admit this took me a little while to even figure out how to play. You press the play button and then each click of your mouse makes your little ninja guy throw a rope. Try to time it so it attaches to something, or else you fall. And that's the game. The farthest I've gotten is 4.92 yds, which also makes me ashamed. I am terrible at it! I'm sure you can beat me!

Blokus

2009-03-06T19:46:00.002-06:00

Blokus is a Mensa award game, but the rules aren't really complicated. You can only put your first piece in the corner, and all subsequent pieces you play can only touch your pieces on their corners. No touching sides. Your pieces can touch other players sides, though. The player who plays the most pieces win.

You can play against the computer, and then move up to playing human opponents. I'm not sure if you can set up your own games with friends, as I didn't register at the website. Anyone know?

Zilch

2009-01-30T13:09:00.001-06:00

Forgive me for my inconsistencies of posting CGFs. I should be feeling better soon.

I first played this game with actual dice with actual people, and they called it Ten Thousand, or just The Dice Game. It was pretty fun. And then over Christmas break Peter's siblings were playing it and having raucous fun, not necessarily because the game is raucous, but they sure were.

So I was pleased when I found this game available online, and how well the game was made for computer. The design is fun, and they have trophies you can collect. I love collecting things, especially when they don't actually take up any room. I've got 38 out of 120!

The gameplay is easy to learn. Roll six dice and gain points when you roll either ones or fives. Set aside those, and roll the rest of the dice, but if you don't get anymore ones or fives, you don't get any points at all. There's a few more combinations of dice that give you points; check out the instructions for all the details.

Ice Breaker

2009-01-16T12:49:00.001-06:00

This game cracked me up, so I'm hoping you'll think it's funny, too. Somehow, all the viking crew have gotten stuck in ice, and they'll need some help, your help. Them to their ship where their captain is waiting with a huge hammer to break the ice. The only thing you can do is slice the ice (or ropes) by drawing a line where you want the cut. The situations these little vikings have gotten themselves into get more and more ridiculous and precarious, and therefore funnier. I really enjoyed playing this one. I'm stuck at level 31, though, which requires more hand eye coordination and timing than usual. How far can you get?

Achievement Unlocked

2009-01-02T16:19:00.001-06:00

Are you the type of person who likes making lists and getting all the items checked off? Now you can do it with 99 objectives to complete that are completely arbitrary! In Achievement Unlocked you control a little elephant with your arrow keys. You get to figure out how to complete the objectives on your own. That's the whole fun of the game.

I had a lot of fun playing this game. I didn't think I'd be very impressed, but ended having a very satisfied feeling by the time I got every item on the list. If you need help figuring out how to complete a goal, take a look at the Hint? button in the bottom right corner of the game screen.

With the Christmas Season really and truly upon us, I thought I'd post a themed game. Winterbells is a cute and simple game.

What's yours?

Kind of an older game, but still a very good one. Use mirrors and lenses to manipulate the laser to the lightbulb/s. The later levels kind of make my brain hurt. But it's a good puzzle game because of it. I wish they had let us play this in Physics class in High School.

Auditorium

2008-11-21T14:10:00.001-06:00

I'm having a hard time thinking of ways to describe this game. It's based around music, loosely. It's kind of like a puzzle game. It's more like a visual and audial mood game. Anyway, I think it's very cool and beautiful.

Try and get the stream of white light to hit the music volume graphic thing, and it'll play music. You kind of feel like you're composing a piece of music as you go along. A nice, chill Friday game. It's kind of a little out there, though. Do you like it?

Factory Balls

2008-11-14T09:08:00.001-06:00

This sequel to this game came out recently, and so it was that I was introduced to this fabulous game. This game is right up my alley: it's a unique puzzle game, fun graphics, ingenius idea. I love it. The only downside is there isn't a ton of replayability.

You're trying to create a ball identical to the one they give you. You've got to plan out your moves ahead of time. Just jumping in with out planning doesn't work too well. But the game is the same every time, so once you've figured it out, you've figured it out. So put your thinking caps on, and get ready for a puzzle game with a twist of fun.

Wooden Path

2008-11-07T18:01:00.001-06:00

Wooden Path is a well designed, nice looking puzzle game. Move wooden blocks around to create a path across the water and get to the other side. There's also stone, brick, grass, and golden star blocks. There's gates that need to be connected by a specific kind of block to eliminate obstacles. Just take on one area at a time, and you'll eventually figure each level. Even if it takes you (read: me) over a hundred moves.

I haven't finished all the levels yet. There's more than 50, so it might take me a while...

The story thus far: Dressed-as-a-ghost Jinx is trick-or-treating and comes upon a huge old mansion. He decides to try and hit up the house, but gets locked in. You have to help him find the way out of the cute, creepy mansion. It shouldn't take-you-long.

Loops of Zen is a straightforward puzzle game. To make your puzzle Zen, you have to eliminate all loose ends by rotating the pieces. There are fifty levels that get harder and harder as you progress through them.

For me it wasn't really a game where I sat down and played all the levels. But I did find myself coming back to it and getting further and further when the mood struck to play the game. It kind of calms you down with the music and simplicity of the gimmick.

Arachnophilia

2008-10-16T22:53:00.002-05:00

In Arachnophilia: The Spider Web Game, you get to be the bad guy. You're the spider and it's your job to catch and eat as many bugs as possible. You have to keep your web intact, though, and rebuild it as some bugs get through. But you have a limited amount of webbing, and your life slowly drains if you don't keep eating.

There are some strategies to keep your life up and web strong. Ladybugs give lots of health. Beetles give you stronger webbing for a short period of time. I've also heard that having your web mainly on the side makes it less likely to just fall apart when the onslaught comes.

For the less competitive among us, there's also an option for Art Mode, where you just create pretty web designs. I made the simple one for the image for this post. I'm expecting someone to make a "Some Pig" web. :)

Save Kaleidoscope Reef

2008-09-26T09:27:00.001-05:00

The object of the game is the title. No surprises there. The reef has been taken over and destroyed by pollution, and your job is to build it back up. You just take the little coral polpys and place them on rocks, then feed them some of the colorful plankton floating around. It sounds kind of weird, but its actually pretty fun. Once you get enough coral going, you'll beat the level and move further into the ocean to face some enemies that will try and stop the growth, or eat your population. There's also a couple of tricky little puzzles where you have to figure out what colors to use, and how to get them.

But overall, this game is really easy, and a fun thirty minutes. The music is chill, and I like the colorful graphics.

Mutiny

2008-09-19T12:05:00.004-05:00

In honor of National Talk Like a Pirate Day, today's game is Pirate themed.

Has anyone ever played the Worms games? This is the same type of game as that. You have a team of pirates that tries to kill or knock off the opposing team of pirates. The team that loses all of it's members loses the match. All you have to do to win is have someone stay alive.

The controls take a little bit to learn. You click on the pirate that you want to take action, and aim the weapon you chose by pulling back and around with the mouse. You move the pirates the same way. They kind of fling themselves around.

There's single player mode, and multiplayer mode, but only on one computer, not online.

2008-09-12T22:21:00.001-05:00

Phew. Barely got it in.

For this game, think a matching Bejeweled type game, but a little different. You try to get rid of tiles by matching them, but you can get rid of whole columns with two matching tiles on each end. But then your match possibilities also shrink, so you've got to think ahead. You've got to clear a certain number of combos to get to the next level. If you end up not having any matches left before you've cleared the level, use a "lifeline". They are somewhat helpful. Or at least better than losing the game!

You can do timed mode called Action or relaxed game play, Normal.

This game has been around for a while, but I have good memories of it. The menu screen shows that there are ten puzzles to complete, but doesn't really give any hints about the puzzles. You are on your own.

Each level has a gimmick that you need to figure out by manipulating different objects on the screen. Just try anything to solve it. You'll feel really clever when you figure it out. And that's all I'm going to say about that. Have fun!

Yellow shapes are good, but the red shapes decrease your point multiplier. The purple ones are awesome. It makes your orb a vacuum cleaner that sucks up all the shapes.

The game lasts about four minutes. Listen to the gorgeous music that goes along with it. It's a good thing there's good music for a game called Music Catch.

Bubble Tanks II

2008-08-22T13:19:00.001-05:00

I don't know where the first one is, but I like this second one. Bubble Tanks is a cool game that I'm really bad at. Of course it involves shooting, which makes that kind of inevitable. (If you ever want to feel good about yourself, play a First Person Shooter with me.)

So the setup is you're a little bubble creature that shoots at other bubbles monsters. You can level up and gain skills by collecting the little bubbles that the other bubble creatures lose when you destroy them. You travel through the different spheres that have different level bubble monsters in them. I've heard it's a good strategy to circle out from the starting position so your enemies don't get too hard too fast. Also, check out the map by pausing.

I hope you enjoy this game. I had fun playing it for a bit even though I was terrible at it.

You're trying to change all the balls to be white, but you can only do it with ones that are the same color. You can only link up green to green, red to red, etc. There's some effects you can use, too that affect how the balls interact. It's a fun game that didn't try to do a Boomshine knock-off; it did it's own thing and succeeded.

Build a contraption to move the red object(s) over to the designated area. Simple, but it's so fun doing it. There's perpetual motion wheels, wooden connecting rods, regular wheels, and water rods that can't leave the building area. With those five objects it's amazing what you can come up with.

It's a pretty laid back game. There's no limit to how many objects you can use. No time limits. You can redo the level as many times as it takes. I had a lot of fun with this game. Especially the Mission to Mars level.

Ragdoll Cannon

2008-07-25T09:27:00.001-05:00

I found this game when I was visiting with family. Somehow everyone stopped what they were doing and were magnetically drawn to watch the game. It's just that kind of game. (Or else I guess they just really like me. That's another answer that I like.)

So you've got a cannon, and you got ammunition, and you've got a target. The cannon is normal, but the ammunition is an infinite amount of ragdolls, and your target is a mattress. Or at least that's what it looks like to me.

Control the angle of the shot by maneuvering the cannon up and down with your mouse. You can control how far it goes, or the force of the shot by how far away the cursor is from the cannon. It's pretty intuitive.

Like all games, it starts out easy, and gets more and more challenging. (For once I'd just like to see a game get over all the hard stuff first, and make you feel great by the end.) Work with the obstacles to get your ragdoll to the target. Some things are movable and some things aren't.

I'm not sure why it's so fun, but it is. I love quirky stuff like this.

Questionaut

Questionaut will be enjoyed by the trivia freaks out there. This game starts out as a point and click adventure, but the only way to progress is to answer questions in different subjects. They cover Physics, Math, Chemistry, Language, and more that I can't remember.

You start out the game by chasing after you friend's hat that got blown away by the wind. You hop into your hot air balloon and chase after it. Each new screen you come to makes you lose the air in your balloon, and the only way to get it back is to answer five questions correctly in a row.

Each level is so creatively designed. Some even made me laugh. I hope you enjoy this one. And don't feel bad if you have to use Google to look up some things you forgot in school...

Totem Destroyer

2008-07-11T09:27:00.001-05:00

Totem Destroyer is a physics-based puzzle game. You're trying to get rid of a certain number of blocks with out letting the golden idol hit the ground. The mouse cursor is a bomb, and is how you remove the totem piece by piece.

The brown pieces can be bombed, the black pieces can't, and watch out for the green ones because they slide and make the tower sway.

The physics in this game is excellent. The game is challenging, but not so hard that anyone can't play it. You don't die. Or you do, but you don't have the start over; the level just reloads. Also, you can leave the game and come back to it. It auto-saves for you. Good game.
