Since you are still probably playing Souvlaki Tetris, a mere diversement for today’s advent Calendar. This was sent in by our cheese correspondent Marna and its topic surprised me somewhat knowing her likes. Nevertheless, much like many flash games, there is a degree of physics involved in this game.
But the question here is: what is going to get fired out of this cannon?

Open today’s window and click through to discover that the old addage that the internet is run by cat lovers is very very true. After yesterday cannoning a poor kitty through the sky (surely a CATapult would have been smarter) there is something a bit more cerebral today. A simple online puzzle game described by today’s contributor Magnus as “a classic cypher until you crack it. And then cathartic”.
Here is a sneak peak

A lot of flash games are simple puzzlers, and that is fine. One of the main reasons for their existence after all is brief worktime gratification, a mild diversion rather than an immersive gaming experience. Today’s game is very much that, yes it has various levels and degrees of diffiiculty as you progress, but it is clear from the design that they don’t really expect that many people to get that far. So there is the same three puzzle boards repeated with an increased level of difficulty. One assumes as you get past say level nine it may speed up, be more relentless etc. But what am I talking about. This one was sent in by Alix: so what are these balls queueing for?

I have never been all that enamoured of sports games. Maybe because I was never any good at sport at school. Of course the sports game offers me the vicarious thrill of being good at a game. However in reality it adds an extra link in the hand-to-eye lack of co-ordination I always suffered from. It needs to go from hand to eye to fingers. Even worse.
Nevertheless I found today’s game (sent in by lonepilgrim of comments box fame) briefly diverting because it levels the playing field on my physical disability into a quickly flash game. So what on earth are these?

OK, time to unleash the big guns. Here is one which possibly stopped productivity in my office for about a week. There are plenty of games a bit like it, but this is the Daddy of strategic time wasting.
So what is going on here?

Who doesn’t like games about elephants? Today’s game takes is similar to yesterdays in as much as it takes a very simple idea to almost breaking point. But if you are someone who likes completing a game, then this one you will like. A simple flash platformer starring this little elephant:
He is very little.
