Flash Games Are Getting Pretty Good.

Flash games used to be God-awful, but lately I've found some genuinely brilliant and original offerings.

Magic Pen

The goal is to move a ball or a box to a given point on the screen using only physics and your trusty magic pen. More addictive then crack.

Don't watch too much of the video, because most of the fun is figuring out how to engineer a victory on each level.




You Have To Burn The Rope

Just go play it. I don't want to spoil it for you.

Desktop Tower Defense

Build a maze of guns in order to defeat increasingly more powerful enemies. Simple but addictive.


If you have any recommendations, post them below.

DICEWARS is highly addictive. It's like RISK on crack.

Probably my favorite: Bloxorz. Played it for an hour straight when I first found it.

Pointer. Don't hit the walls!

BBC Science Reflex Test

A neat tangram game.

Cubicle Basketball

Neat geography game. I love geography.

Virus. No it's not a virus that steals your credit cards!

The classic Infocom Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy through a flash Z-interpreter.

Spin the Black Circle , the first few levels are simple enough, but then gets downright diabolical.
And the ”Grow” series is pretty good too. You're presented different scenarios and have to click events in the right order (each event will react to another) to max out all you levels and "win" the game. My favorites are Grow Island, Grow Nano volume 3, and Grow RPG.

Nice *quality list of entertainment we have thus far, thanks DFT!

For Desktop Tower Defense there is a VideoSift group scoreboard. I'd like to see someone beat my high score, then explain to me how they did it. No matter how hard I try I can't do any better, but there are people with 10000+ points.
