Crossblock

CrossblockCrossblock is a nice puzzle game by Hexaditidom (D.J. Trousdale) over at deviantART. The aim of each level is to clear it of all blocks by drawing lines through them horizontally or vertically. The tricky thing however is that you have to remove a certain number of blocks at the same time this way (this number changes throughout the game).

If you’re really stuck, scroll down for my walkthrough below. Enjoy! Read more

Auditorium

Auditorium is an interesting audio visual puzzle game about the process of discovery and play. There are no right or wrong answers; there are many ways to solve every puzzle. In every level, you try to redirect or control ‘The Flow’ which is a stream of audio visual particles that will create sound when matched with the audio container of their color. The aim is to fill up all audio containers so you hear the music completely, you’ll see (and hear) what I mean when you play it. Enjoy!

Kagi Nochi Tobira

It’s my turn to post an escape game this time! Kagi nochi tobira (鍵のち扉), which means ‘key, then door’ is quite simple in concept. As you might have guessed: in every room, you need to find a key and open the door with it. Sounds easy enough, not? Go ahead, prove it to me and complete all 20 levels in the game! Enjoy!

Swinging Ball

Swinging BallIn another bold attempt to make you waste lots of precious time, I present to you Swinging Ball, a game by Kenji Sihan in which you… well, swing a ball around. It’s all pretty self-explanatory actually, but lots of fun!

It starts off easy, but after a while the levels get really tough. For me, the hardest was the insanely difficult ‘Final Fling’ level near the end. You’ll know what I mean when you get there.

Sling

SlingIt’s been a while since there was a silly internet game worth mentioning. That’s over now! May I have the pleasure to introduce to you Sling, a game in which you control a little green ball of slime dangling, flying and bouncing around in 50 levels. The story is utter and complete nonsense and that’s great!

There’s also an easier Junior version of the game and soon there will be a sequel called Sling Fire. Enjoy!

Xeno Tactic

Very, very, very addictive is this online game called Xeno Tactic. The first five levels are OK, but the sixth one I find impossible (reached wave sixty something there). The game is still beta so things are still changing a bit, however it feels quite finished already. Enjoy!
