Game 82: Filler

Your goal is simple: Fill two-thirds of the screen by inflating the filler balls to move onto the next level. The challenge is to do it without being hit by the many bouncing balls. Easy, right?

Keep an eye on your status at the top, including: time left, balls left (the amount you can create), lives left (lost each time you hit a bouncy ball), and percentage cleared (you're aiming for 66.6% or above).

Very, VERY addictive!!

Game 77: Line Rider

If you haven't played this game, you haven't lived. At face value, Line Rider looks almost too simple, but after playing it for a couple of minutes you'll soon find yourself creating increasingly wacky and impossible courses for the brave -- nay, foolhardy -- tobogganist.

Game 54: The Impossible Quiz 2

The Impossible Quiz 2 is the sequel to one of the most challenging quizzes ever. Featuring more crazy questions, more absurd minigames and best of all, more insanity! Need I say more..?

Be patient when loading this one, it's a biggy.

Game 51: Turnz

An original and simple game where you have to turn the screen of the laptop to make the squares change of side and go to the goal. 

You can play with this game but you have to know that you dont have to turn your head, you have to turn the game. 

The only controls are the arrows to turn that you know and make fall the squares.

Play hard.

Game 46: Polcarstva

Polcarstva is a gorgeous piece of interactive art that comes from the amazing talents of Denis Stepkin and U Studio of Russia.

Your goal here is to help a group of children to make their way through a surreal world, using standard point-and-click mechanics, and enjoy the music and scenery along the way. Not too difficult to get through, and yet just the right kind of diversion for an afternoon tea. Open the windows and let the summer air in while you play Polcarstva.

Game 41: Grow Tower

The latest in one of the greatest series of browser games ever conceived is not a disappointment. This time you have to pick five different items to stack on top of one another, with the ultimate aim being to turn the sun on... a long way up above you. You've got a plant pot, a piece of turf, a sideways cauldron, a box with a button, and some bricks.

All you have to do is pick them in the order you think they should go, and let the game do the rest. There is only one right way, and this will reward you with the most elaborate animation, but each different combination yields an animation of its own that is great in its own right. This is the best visual game I've seen in a while. 

Tip:

Throw logic out the window and just have fun, but make a note of what you have and haven't tried, or you'll be frustrated by repetition.

Note:

The game may not load properly the first time you click, instead you may see a webpage. If this happens, just close the window and try again. Some weird bug I can't figure out, sorry!

Game 34: Shift

¿Is the floor the roof? ¿ɹoolɟ ǝɥʇ ɟooɹ ǝɥʇ sı ɹo? And whats with that in game timer? Find the answers to these questions and more in this original puzzle platformer. Guide your mystery man through a plethora of mazes that take your sense of perception to the limit in this frustrating and boggling game!

Just like Portal brought a new way of looking at puzzles, Shift has done something similar. You have to consider both the black and the white sections as places that can be accessed and used to your advantage.

Game 30: The Impossible Quiz

If there is one golden rule to every quiz, it is that you have be able to win it. That rule has been broken into tiny pieces by The Impossible Quiz. As the name suggests, this quiz is quite impossible to win. Why? Because neither question nor answer are as simple as they look. On the surface, it looks like any other quiz; you are presented with a question and four possible answers, you then pick your answer and move on to the next question. But when a typical question asks: 'Can a match box?' and the answer is: 'No, but a tin can' you have to stay extra focused. Frustration will run high so be warned, but at least you will pick-up some funny questions you can annoy your friends with!

Game 21: Tipping Point

You've been looking for some kind of escape — a vacation to paradise, maybe, but you'd probably just settle for a nap. So, here, you now find yourself sitting in front of this screen once again. But why are you wearing those pale green socks?

Welcome to Tipping Point, a point-and-click adventure with serene, highly detailed graphics and soft music, this game is a break away from the ordinary. 

In the first chapter, you'll find yourself stuck in front of the TV, with nothing better to do than channel surf. This will soon change, as you begin to be followed by great blue herons and answer a call for help. In the second chapter, you'll be scrambling for clues along a deserted beach. Well, deserted except for the herons. They must like you. The third chapter whisks you away to a tropical rain forest with exotic birds and bugs buzzing all around. There is even a treehouse to explore.

Tipping Point is slightly strange, moderately challenging, and intensely beautiful. While the storyline is little odd and surreal, the puzzles are straightforward and logical; most can be solved just by exploring and clicking around, so don't be afraid to do a little hunt-and-clicking. As soon as the game starts to seem too simple though, you may suddenly find yourself stuck, and pushing towards your own Tipping Point!

Game 20: Quadradius

Quadradius is an online, multiplayer, turn-based game that takes the skeleton of the board game checkers, and pumps it up with a massive list of power-ups and new strategies that turns the game into an addictive and very compelling new concept. In fact, calling it checkers is an oversimplification that does not do it any justice. The best way to see what I mean is to jump in and have a go for yourself.

- Don't worry about reading instructions, click here for a 99 second video tutorial. It tells you everything you need to know, in, you guessed it, 99 seconds.

- Sometimes you have to wait a minute or two for opponents to join the game when playing as a guest. The game will make a sound to notify you when more players join, so feel free to check your facebook while you wait!

Game 19: CDX

Launched by the BBC History team (along with the design and technical prowess of Preloaded), CDX is a multi-episode adventure game that uses real actors and video segments to spin a tale of mystery and intrigue around an ancient Roman sacrificial blade.

The format of the game is a point-and-click adventure; you're presented with a brief cutscene introducing you to the story and your role, which is entirely live action video. You're then dropped into a room in which you must figure out how to move forward in the story.

Attention to detail and high production values set this effort apart from other online point-and-click adventures, and the acting is top-notch. There are even selectable dialog sequences in which the actors will play out a scene based on the choices made by the player.

CDX is an amazing effort from the BBC and Preloaded teams, they have created an engaging and compelling interactive experience that is hugely enjoyable. 

- You need a good broadband connection to enjoy this game fully

- It takes a couple of minutes to load, please be patient

- Best played in fullscreen

- Ensure your volume is turned up!

Game 18: Samorost 2

Samorost 2 is here, the sequel to the amazing and immersive experience of the original Samorost; undeniably one of the greatest casual games ever to have graced the Web. In the first chapter, the main character from the original game loses his puppy when a couple of aliens trespass on his little planet and dognap his pet. Your mission is to rescue the puppy from its captors. The second chapter is a pay-for-play download (€4.00/£3.50/$4.99) that continues at the point of the first chapter's cliffhanger ending. What you receive is a zip archive of the entire game, including both chapters, for a seamless interactive experience. I highly recommend buying this as it is well worth it, though it is also widely available to download for free accross the internet.

By virtue of a "2" in its title, there exist expectations for this sequel, and I am pleased to say the game does not disappoint. The artwork again is both gorgeous and surreal, but where Samorost 2 surpasses its predecessor is in its size and its soundtrack. There are more animated environments to marvel at, more puzzles to solve, and more interactive elements to click. 

All things considered, this second game of the Samorost series lives well up to the huge expectations set by the first. It is altogether a truly exceptional work of interactive art.

Game 16: Incredibots

IncrediBots is a physics-based webtoy which gives you a handful of simple tools and sets you free to explore your creative impulses. Draw shapes, connect them with joints, and tweak their basic properties to create living, moving, and functioning 'bots that can perform any task! 

Because of the enormous flexibility of IncrediBots, you'll need a couple of minutes to familiarize yourself with the options at your disposal. A set of tutorial levels introduces the basics and will only take you a few moments to complete. The game also features a set of challenge levels with a few dozen (optional) tasks to work through, including moving objects around, climbing obstacle courses, and building catapults to hurtle shapes through the air. The real power (and fun) though, is in the sandbox mode, where you begin with a blank template and let your imagination run wild. When everything is ready to roll, click the "play" button to see your creation come to life!

It may all seems a little complex at first, but don't worry, it isn't. Complete the tutorial levels, which will take all of 5-10 minutes, and you'll be fully versed in IncrediBots creation. Enjoy!

Game 14: 3D Logic

3D Logic is a fantastic puzzle game developed by Alex Matveev. The goal of the game is really simple: connect each pair of same-coloured blocks with an unbroken line without crossing over another colour.

Controlling the 3D cube with your mouse, you must click on a coloured block and drag along the empty spaces to create a line that connects the pair. As there is no time limit, don’t worry if you make a mistake in the process of drawing a line. Just use the undo or restart buttons.

With beautifully smooth graphics, an automatic save which allows you to come back later, and clever gameplay, 3D Logic is a well designed and addictive puzzler. Expect to spend a couple of hours (or more) to complete all 30 levels.

To see more detailed rules use the 'Help' option.

Game 11: Samorost

Wonderfully bizarre and surreal, Samorost is an adventure game that is full of clicky puzzles and beautifully rendered scenes, mixed with animations and various gadgetry with sound effects and music to suit the mood. It's not very long, but will keep you busy for just the right amount of time. I have fit this game to a similarly sized window to the other games, though it is best played at almost fullscreen size. 

I hope you all enjoy this work of creativity and interactive art as much as I do.

Game 10: Portal

A 2D online version of the original PC/XBOX360/PS3 game; Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 levels, and has almost every feature the orinal game does, all in glorious 2D! If you're not familiar with the original game, Portal is an extremely frustrating and addictive puzzler, the basic idea being to use your portal gun to get to the exit on each level. Definately worth a look.

Left Mouse Button - launch a portal      R - close both portals
Arrow Keys - movement                       F - pick up an object
Q - launch a blue portal                       O - adjust graphics quality 
E - launch a yellow portal                     Esc/P - pause game

Game 6: Bloxorz

When I first saw Bloxorz, my first thoughts were "How thrilling can moving a block around be...", three hours later I had my answer. I reached level 22 (of 33) before having to throw in the towel, foolishly I didn't make a note of the level's passcode so I couldn't start back at that level (be warned!). 

The aim of the game is to get the block to fall into the square hole at the end of each stage, not nearly as easy as it sounds. Along the way you'll find plenty of bridges and switches to test your logic and try your patience.

If you like logic puzzles, you'll love Bloxorz. Just make sure you don't have to be anywhere for a while!
