Why Robin Makes Batman Better Sometimes you just want to switch your brain off on a Friday afternoon. You need Music Catch 2.
If you like puzzle games – especially those with a hacker aesthetic – then give Exploit a try. The idea is to fire packets of data from the ports around the edge of the play area and hit the root node in the centre. Except the direct path to the root node is blocked by various buffers, dividers, overflows and other sly nods to nerd-dom. What starts out simple will soon make your brain hurt, just like any good puzzle game should.
You’ve played Mirror’s Edge in first-person. You’ve played Mirror’s Edge in third-person. Now, why not play Mirror’s Edge in 2D?
Nothing beats a good “Room Escape” game to keep you entertained on a tedious Friday afternoon in the office. Luckily, Bars Of Black And White is a good “Room Escape” game. The title refers to the way you can scan barcodes on various objects, in addition to the genre’s standard click-on-stuff-to-see-what-happens gameplay. Can you escape?
Okay, so it’s not a Flash game. But Blueful is browser-based. And it’s kinda awesome and different and, well, just a little bit strange. So we’re gonna tell you to check it out.
Released in demo form late last year, Auditorium is an astonishingly clever music-based puzzle game. The full version is now available for purchase, but you can still check out the demo.
The Grow series of games effortlessly taps into an often overlooked appeal of gaming: the idea of pressing a button or clicking on something just to see what happens. It’s all deceptively simple: you click on an object to add it to the world and then watch how everything interacts. The joy comes in the way the relationships between objects are expressed: one object may transform another, which in turn transforms another, which affects the originally placed object in a cascade of delightful animations.Grow Tower was released just two days ago, so give it a go. And if you’ve never played a Grow game before, check out the others as well.
Another Friday afternoon means another browser-based game to amuse yourselves with. Today it’s the spectacularly literally-titled Minotaur China Shop. Yep, you play a minotaur. And you run a china shop. What makes it work is the ingenious combination of plausible physics and the rewarding ability to smash a lot of stuff. Enjoy!
I know how it feels. It’s late on a Friday afternoon, you’re sitting in the office, you’re bored, and you wanna go to the pub home. But you can’t… not just yet. This is where Flash Fridays comes in. I’ll be recommending a neat time-killing Flash or other browser-based game that makes that painful wait for pub time home time just a little bit less painful. So, who’s up for some Robokill?
