http://www.kongregate.com/games/KingDotCom/gluey

Gluey is a small, physics-based puzzler built in flash. It revolves around differently colored blobs that the player has to "pop" to gain points. It's pretty simple but it's smooth graphics and feedback just pull you into the flow. Especially the Zen Mode is great for killing time.

Linear RPG

2009-08-25T10:44:00.004+02:00

http://www.sophiehoulden.com/games/thelinearrpg/

Linear RPG is a small little pardoy game that makes the structure behind JRPGs visible. It's pretty easy to play, just walk left and right but it looks goregous and is entertaining for the brief time it lasts.

Red Remover

2009-08-07T15:28:00.000+02:00

http://www.thegamehomepage.com/play/red-remover/

A well made puzzle game that's worth the 20 or so minutes to sink into it. Well done, funny and intriguing. You'll be sad when you've finished all levels.

Very interesting game about lights. Carry one and illuminate your surrounding to find new pathways. But be careful or you'll stumble into darkness very quickly! :)

Bug War

2009-06-02T19:42:00.003+02:00

http://www.kongregate.com/games/rudy_sudarto/bug-war

A neat little game about larves and instects, that uses tower assult as a base for a strategic territorial control gameplay mechanism. Easy to learn, fun to play.

Strawhead Samurai

2009-05-16T11:55:00.002+02:00

http://de.bigpoint.com/mini-games/388/Strawhead-Samurai/

Strawhead samurai is a fighting game where you, as a lone samurai, have to fight an invading army. The main mechanic is slicing by painting lines with the mouse. It's a pretty cool idea and works surprisingly well. The game's a short campaign with a lot of action and some strategy at the end. It's a neat little package that should occupy you for 10 minutes or so. Give it a try.

Today I Die

2009-05-07T23:44:00.005+02:00

http://ludomancy.com/games/today.html

Today I die is a little experimental Flash game from Daniel Benmergui. It's about the words of a poem and how changing the words changes the world. Actually it's less of a game and more of a puzzle, since - as far as I can see - there's only one real solution. Regardless it's a nice little timewaster which might just inspire you. And if you like that one, there's more where that one came from on Daniel's website and blog.

My Brute

2009-04-14T14:50:00.002+02:00

http://www.mybrute.com/

My Brute is a small and simple browser fighting game based on flash. Players generate a character and then fight others for experience, items and skills. They can also enter their brutes into tournaments. From my current playthroughs it seems as if players have little options beside initial quasi-random character generation but it's simpleness makes for a good timewaster.

Virus

2009-02-18T22:20:00.002+01:00

http://armorgames.com/play/1467/virus

An addictive fast-paced vertical-scrolling shooter. It doesn't really look like viruses, more like an old air-force jet user interface gone mad. Still it's a very smooth and fast little shooter, worth a try. :)

Auditorium

No time for talk since I spent too much time before work playing this game instead of getting myself ready. AUDITORIUM. Found on Penny Arcade and damn is it worth the link.

check it.

RED

2008-08-31T13:44:00.006+02:00

http://armorgames.com/play/349/red

An easy to learn skill game where you control a turret and have to ward off falling black orbs by shooting at them so they change their direction. One hit, you die. But there are shields, weapon upgrades and additional turrets that will help you along the way. Also the music is very... psychedelic.

Epsilon

2008-08-31T12:20:00.006+02:00

http://armorgames.com/play/1642/epsilon

What a nice puzzle game this is. A lot of inspiration seemingly came from valve's "Portal", but Epsilon certainly has his own unique style when it comes to solving inter-dimensional puzzles with a ball that needs to be sent through a portal to complete a stage. The concept is also easy to grasp, so you can play right away.

Spellblazer

2008-06-02T21:10:00.005+02:00

http://www.kongregate.com/games/rapaxus/spellblazer

If you like Bejeweled, you will love this game.
It takes the simple mechanics of Bejeweled and wraps them as a battle system into a fantasy flash game.
Swap the different symbols to get three in a row and trigger a spell, that either hurts your opponent or heals yourself. When you trigger symbols your opponent uses for attack, you will get a defense bonus against his next attack.

Graphics and story are also great.
I just hope there will be a second part of this game.

First game-tip! ;D
This game has and always will have a special place in my heart, i remember lonely nights, feeling miserable etc. Then this game shows up in my life and totally wipes my ass even more!
As you might have figured this is a quiz, an impossible one. Spent a lot of time with this game, wasted a lot of patience as well... And still never even close to finish it :P Warning for stuff that's completly random and makes less sense then Desoya's underwear....

Btw, Newgrounds, so you might want to keep your fingers of some of the advertisement in there ;D

Matrix pandemonium

2008-05-17T21:49:00.004+02:00

http://www.maxgames.com/play/matrix-pandemonium.html

What a nice little game! You can grab almost every object in the game and throw it at your enemies. If it's some sort of weapon, you can even use it to fight those hords agents that keep coming at you. There are other Matrix characters as well, like the invisible twins. Your actions will leave marks on the environment, and to be honest I wish some games back in the days where I was playing on my megadrive would have looked so cool. Definitely worth a try!

The Last Stand 2

2008-05-17T21:33:00.002+02:00

http://www.maxgames.com/play/last-stand-2.html

This is the successor to the thrilling survival flash game "The Last Stand"! Some things have changed, like for example you can select where to search during the day. You can set up traps as well, and shoot at them during the zombie attack at night. Plus, now you can even equip your survivors with weapons.
Sadly there is not sky visible like in the first game, that will show the dawn of a new day. Still, very entertaining and this time you have to last 40 full days!

Age Of War

2008-05-17T21:16:00.002+02:00

http://www.maxgames.com/play/age-of-war.html

An entertaining tactical war game where your units evolve from the stone age to the space age. Easy to learn and master, but the end can be a bit tiresome until you have the right tactic to get through to the enemy base and damage it ;)

Xeno Tactic 2

And by the way, there's a hack video on u tub for part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR0QGN0TFDw

There's also an expert time lapse video for part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JNkxQqmueI

Dolphin Olympics 2

2008-05-13T20:59:00.006+02:00

http://www.kongregate.com/games/arawkins/dolphin-olympics-2

Tony Hawk meets Endless Ocean. You're playing as a Dolphin trying to do some trick jumps and dives to score maximum points and combos. It's a funny little game, especially if you're one of those compulsive Achievement Hoarders or Highscore Breakers.

Hell of Sand

2008-05-10T20:58:00.004+02:00

http://andyslife.org/games/sand.php

Hell of Sand is more a Toy than a Game but it still is an entertaining little java (yeah, it's not flash all right) piece. There are a number of faucets and tools that you can play with to create flows of sand, salt or water. With some more mechanics and possibly limited use of the tools this could be a nice puzzle game. Also playing around with the C4 is a lot of fun.

If you're frustrated by increasingly complex and difficult videogames, maybe it is some time for you to play some Burn the Rope. A small, satirical / subversive Spiel that should sneak a smile to your face. (found via this Gamasutra Article on subversive games)

Check out the other flashgames on the site for more little experiments.

Eyemaze Growcube

2008-05-04T10:38:00.006+02:00

http://www.eyezmaze.com/grow/cube/

Grow Cube, a small puzzle game where you have to add objects to a cube in the right order. You might have already seen this game or a similar one but it still is something to mention. The animations and graphics are lighthearted and fun but the gameplay requires a lot of trial and error and can be quite frustrating. Nevertheless it is worth a look but I recommend you turn off the music - it can get annoying quickly.

Fancy Pants Adventure World 2

Swords and Sandals 2

2008-04-07T02:41:00.003+02:00

http://www.kongregate.com/games/3rdsense/swords-and-sandals-2

A very funny game. Create your own unique looking character and fight as a gladiator in the arena. Between fights you can buy equipment in various shops.

Funny game with cool graphics and very comical texts. You have to read the trivia of your opponents.

Monsters´ Den

2008-04-07T00:54:00.006+02:00

http://www.kongregate.com/games/garin/monsters-den

Finally a roleplaying game that is missing all that unimportant plot or story stuff and just focuses on the real important things: good old round-based fighting, a little bit of character advancement and LOOT!
You can create a group of four characters and explore a dungeon. No traps or unforeseen things. When there are monsters you see them before entering a room and can decide, whether you´d like to fight them or just find another way.

The problem with this game: you will practically drown in loot. There´s so much of it, you must really like equipping your characters after nearly every fight, or else you might loose all those important items that make you stronger.

Coil

2008-04-06T15:32:00.002+02:00

http://www.komix-games.com/game.php?game=Coil

Very atmospheric and bizarre puzzle game.

Tactics 100 Live

2008-04-06T12:35:00.005+02:00

http://gamebrew.com/game/tactics-100-live/play

An easy to learn hard to master round based RPG. You can use a preset army or create your own. Each unit costs points based on its type and updates and your army can have up to a total of 100 points, hence the game's name.
When in battle, you have to move your guys tactically and use weapons and spells to destroy the enemy's army.

And best of all: It's not only singleplayer! You can battle your friends in a multiplayer match as well, or simply challenge someone on the server.

Definitely one of my all time favourite flash games!

Xeno Tactic

2008-04-06T12:21:00.007+02:00

http://www.gameshot.org/?id=1337

Very cool tower defense game with sleek graphcs and smooth gameplay. One of the best out there!

Aliens - The Board Game

2008-04-06T11:28:00.004+02:00

http://www.gameshot.org/?id=1979&game=Aliens---The-Board-Game

Very cool game for an awesome setting. But just like in the movie it's a game of " And Then There Were None" - you're constantly surrounded by aliens and barely make it out alive.
I died in the second stage after killing myself with grenades (yes, they warn you about that, but what are you supposed to do when cornerd and attacked by gazillions of Aliens? Check the screenshot, yes those are all Aliens, and only Burke is alive!)
All in all a bit too challenging for my taste, but the setting and turn based tactics make the game pretty addictive. Hope you enjoy the find!

Rust Inhaler

"U CAN'T TAKE THOSE THINGS, THAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU!"
Wow, crazy game, crazy music, crazy fun. Be sure to not check it out while you're on voodoo. :)
And those crazy dudes have a website here: http://www.rustinhaler.com

SPOILER DON'T READ IN CASE YOU DON'T WANT TO CHEAT:
You can get past the obstacles quite easily by placing your dude in the upper right corner and then moving the mouse off screen. Nothing will collide with you since the collision isn't based on your dude, but on your cursor -- design flaw or feature? I enjoyed watching it :)

Drunken Masters

2008-04-03T22:08:00.011+02:00

http://www.kongregate.com/games/DannySeven/drunken-masters

Have you ever wanted to be a bartender? Here´s your chance!
Mix drinks and entertain your customers by throwing bottles, glasses or icecubes around and hopefully catching them again. When you do not break anything for some time, you can perform a special trick according to the character you´ve chosen.
Save your progress and when you´ve earned enough money, you can buy some add-ons to improve your tips or to make your bottles harder to break.

After the tutorial you should visit the train-section and get to know some tricks. Some are quite easy and can be very useful, especially at the beginning.

http://13-days-in-hell.freeonlinegames.com/

Yay, more zombies !
and this time you can head/waist/whatever shoot them :D
Having to buy your ammunition adds some additional challenge to the game and rewards a good aim and cool hand even in the most wicked situations more then any points given ^^
And it saves your progress, always a big plus.

BOXHEAD: The Zombie Wars

2008-03-28T17:10:00.003+01:00

http://www.boxhead.seantcooper.com/Boxhead_TheZombieWars.aspx

Jon Bambo is alone. Ok not that alone, by his side his trusty pistol, shotgun, turrets and other tools crafted to put those hordes of zombies to pieces.
Nice top down survivel shooter with many, many zombies to kill.
Every few kill multipliers you get upgrades for your guns and your base placements.

So thousends of zkp (zombie kills per minute), a minigun and a nuclear airstrike, what else do we need to be happy ?*

*ok, i heard someone shout "boobs", maybe in the next version ? :P

ElectroCity

2008-03-28T09:41:00.005+01:00

http://electrocity.co.nz/

That game rocks. ElectroCity is a flash game where you develop your own city in New Zealand. It focuses on managing energy policies, building up power plants and taking care of the environment (in a good way thee hee ;) ).

Sadly I couldn't submit my city since it seems to be only for teachers and students.

Dolphin Olympics 2

2008-03-27T18:21:00.009+01:00

http://www.kongregate.com/games/arawkins/dolphin-olympics-2

Score as many points as possible in 2 minutes by swimming and flipping your dolphin. Successful jumps build speed, allowing for bigger and better tricks!
I've played it for over an hour and it's still fun. Try to reach the sun, moon, stars and galaxys like me. Simple but addictive game!

Sentinels of Mijil

2008-03-26T22:26:00.004+01:00

http://www.addictinggames.com/sentinelsofmijil.html

Maneuver a small spacecraft and kill waves of enemies. Sounds simple? It is, but this game comes with a unique art style, cool weapon upgrades, smooth gameplay and all kinds of new enemies on higher levels (teleporting ones, seekers, enemy spawners etc.).

Bejewled

2008-03-26T21:58:00.003+01:00

http://www.flash-games.org.uk/files/Bejeweled.php

Bejewled is a classic. The objective of this game is to swap one gem with an adjacent gem to form a horizontal or vertical chain of three or more gems. It is rumored to be the most addictive flash game ever. Fact is that it's one of the first widely acclaimed flash games and was released in 2001.

The game was a huge success for PopCap; more than 10 million copies of Bejeweled have been sold, and the game has been downloaded more than 150 million times.

Night 2:
http://www.deadfrontier.com/nighttwo.php

Night 3:
http://www.deadfrontier.com/nightthree.php

The zombie mini games are just a demonstration of an upcoming free Zombie MMORPG which is planned to be released in the first half of 2008.
If they final game is as action packed as the mini games, it's destined to rock your browser.
I think night 3 is by far the best of the trilogy. The whole idea reminds me a lot of the upcoming Left 4 Dead, another awesome zombie survival game.

Sad but true: There was a pretty bad glitch for me in the first night minigame, where after a while I couldn't control the mouse cursor the way I wanted to. Maybe it's a feature that shows just how paralyzed you are once you've been bitten? ;)

Protector

2008-03-25T17:06:00.012+01:00

http://www.kongregate.com/games/undefined/protector

Yet another Tower Defence game. But if it has to be the same old game again then i want mine beefed up and pimped out.
This one features quite nice graphics, a kinda non linear campaign. Your mages (instead of turrets) gain XP and you can choose between two paths (specialist and generalist).
With every succesfully finished level you earn a skillpoint which can be used to unlock advanced units and other stuff.
And it gets quite challenging, which is a good thing as i tend to to go back to work after failing, which is the last good thing, you can always continue at the point you left.

Shift

2008-03-25T17:02:00.007+01:00

http://www.kongregate.com/games/ArmorGames/shift

Nice simple puzzle game.

I like it how my brain needs a few minutes to
adjust so i can see the solution without constantly switching.

Plus it's black and white, thus art :P

Done in MSatanicPaint.
Music from the pandemonium itself.
More leathal than razor sharp glass splinters parked right in your eyes.
Not your average flash game.

Ultimate Defense

2008-03-24T23:56:00.006+01:00

http://www.crazymonkeygames.com/Ultimate-Defense.html

Another (tower) defense game, but this one actually looks good! But does it hold up in gameplay as well? It does. The only drawback is when at later stages a lame end-boss enemy is crawling through the level at snail speed and you don't have the means to end him.

Wonderfully animated "spot the differences" game, definitely worth a try. Hell it's addicitve as well!

Armadillo Knight 1-3

http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/armadillo-knight/

http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/armadillo-knight-2/

http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/armadillo-knight-3/

In the first game you play Gallan, the armadillo knight. You start out slashing your way through hordes of evil besieging monsters to free the town of Serenity.

The second game takes you to the Wara Woods. Help Gallan uncover the dark mysteries of the forest.

In the third installment you can choose to play as either Milo or Gallan right from the start. There's a snowboard as well, weeee! :D

Well I have to admit I didn't play the game long enough to tell whether it's more good than bad, but the visual style is very cute :)
The games might be a bit boring at the start, but they'll get more interesting lateron, plus you'll get a cute crossbow weapon for your cute character as well in part 1 and 2 (dunno about 3). The "jump" parts of the game can be pretty frustrating, if you want to know what I mean check out part 2.

The Last Stand

2008-03-24T21:28:00.009+01:00

http://armorgames.com/play/269/the-last-stand

A horror survival game in flash. Try to stay alive, in the night, while blood thirsty zombies try to chew off your limbs. Once you managed to survive a night, you can plan how to spend your daytime hours: Repair your barricade, search for weapons or search for survivors. Can you survive 20 nights of horror?
What are you waiting for, enjoy the cool visuals and intense bloodba... gameplay! XD

Hint: If you're searching for weapons long enough, you'll find a Barrett Rifle ;)

Desktop Tower Defense

2008-03-24T21:14:00.005+01:00

http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/game.asp

Tower Defense or short TD is a subgenre of strategy games and its gameplay mechanism was based on a series of maps for StarCraft called the Turret Defense.

In this flash adaption, Desktop TD, the player has to stop invaders from crossing through the player's fortress. The player can buy turrets that kill the invaders and set them up in a maze to optimize his defense tactics.

The game seems to be updated frequently, so be sure to check back once in a while!

http://www.donpixel.com/play.php/en/051006012009/

Buy houses while they are still cheap and sell them again at high prices to make profit. The final goal of the game is to make enough money to buy the 10 Million Pound mansion.

There are so many different versions of this game around, I wonder which one is the original. Most of them have different sponsor logos, but essentially they're all the same, at least for me.
