Quick Flash games roundup…
Desktop Tower Defense: Design a maze and fill it with cannons to shoot down hordes of cheerful little creatures trying to get through. Simple graphics, brilliant game mechanics, and–if you’re successful–lots of high-pitched squeaking. (If you’ve given it a good try and it’s still driving you nuts, here’s a solution that can conquer even the crazy final levels.)
Red: Sleek, very topical physics-based game where you try and nudge incoming asteroids off course. Great music.
Eleminer: Speaking of asteroids, here’s a version of Snake set in space, adding lots of deadly flying rocks and a few other cleverly-designed twists.
MotherLoad: Dig a shaft, collect minerals, and get back to the surface before you run out of fuel. Actually has a plot, sort of.
Spikey’s Bounce Around: Bounce off walls and hit all your targets in a set number of moves. Difficult to get right.
Virus 2: No-frills matching-colored-tiles puzzle game, where the object is to, I guess, “infect” neighboring tiles with your color.
Sprout: You’re a little seed or bean thing with the power to change into different kinds of plants. Weird.
