Some more games for your enjoyment
(thanks, of course, to Jayisgames.com)
Bloons
Fire darts at balloons. Revel in the satisfying *pop-pop-pop* Get powerups, like boomerangs, exploding balloons, and PACMAN!!!!!
5 keys
So simple, and yet rather devious. use the zxcvb keys to toggle the position of grey diamonds so that they don't get hit by the pink balls. Your score increases every second by the number of diamonds that are still alive, so it's best to keep as many as possible. It starts out pretty easy but gets harder after a couple minutes.
Four Square Blues
Possibly my favorite of this bunch. The goal is to form 2x2 blocks of only one color. To do this, you click on a group of at least 2 same-colored squares, then move the mouse in any of the 4 directions, and an outline of that shape will appear (if there is room). Click when the outline is showing and the squares you selected will flip up to the new position (and the squares they replace flip to the starting position. You lose health every time you are unable to make a four-square (2x2 block). Though the gameplay is nice, what really shines in this game is the integrated sound effects -- each time you make a flip, you get a couple of ramblin' bass notes, and if you complete a four-square, you're rewarded with a jazzy brass chord. Build up a combo to set of an entire cadence of chords, all played in perfect syncopation.
Skywire
Skywire has very simple controls -- up accelerates forward and down accelerates backwards. You are driving a gondola along its course, and you need to complete each level with at least one surviving passenger (of three total). There are many types of monsters that you need to avoid -- any contact with one of them makes a passenger fall out! The monsters are mainly weird analogs of earthly animals -- bees, frogs, pandas, monkeys, snakes, etc. There's even a giraffe-in-a-box.
The Impossible Quiz
Prepare to hate me.
