LunchTimeWasters Of The Week
It’s time for a mid-week and mid-day dose of browser-based games! Today we’ve picked three games that we’ve been spending a lot of time with. Enjoy!
LunchTimeWaster: Thelemite
If browser-based games have taught us anything, it’s that bored programmers should respond to spam email, offer their bodies up for medical experiments and become mutant ninjas.
LunchTimeWaster: Another Kind Of Doodle Jump
Drawn To Life was a pretty innovative game that allowed you to draw your own character and bring it to life. Hence the name and all that. Sketch Quest is similar – it allows you to draw things. And it’s all wrapped up in a gorgeous art style.
LunchTimeWaster: Pale
The Frenchies over at One Life Remains are no strangers to LunchTimeWaster, having been featured here in the past for their bizarre Pac-Man eating Pac-Man game. They’re back again, this time with a light-dropping puzzler, Pale.
LunchTimeWaster: Learn 2 Fly
I think I finally understand how it feels to be a flightless bird trying to fly: frustrated, annoyed, and ready to throw myself into my desktop monitor. Perhaps Learn 2 Fly will be the game that makes all humans empathise with penguins.
LunchTimeWaster: Dadgame
You’re a dad. You work in an office. You hate your boss. The game tells you to break things. Suddenly, ninjas appear! Now, you run down the street breaking more things, and you can jump so high you may as well be flying, and now you’ve acquired nunchucks! This is Dadgame.
LunchTimeWaster: The Thing
The Thing is one of my favourite movies of all time. I also quite enjoyed the PS2 video game set after said movie. This flash game, Infestor, somehow reminds me of that – not from the mechanics, just the concept of playing a blob that infests human beings to serve its purpose.
LunchTimeWaster: Want To See Some Puppies?
Escape From Puppy Death Factory is a game about rescuing puppies. It’s also a game with a really clever switching mechanic that’s nigh on impossible to explain in a succinct way. Plus, it’s kind of a Metroid clone, and I love games that rip off Metroid!
