Its been a long time since my last post, mostly due to lack of good flash games and being unable to take my red swollen fingers off my XBox gamepad. I never thought I would return back to flash games after getting used to all those smooth, flashy 3D games with mind blowing graphics, AI and physics. But in the end despite everything the most crucial part of any game is the gameplay. I came across this amazing game, Chronotron and I left whatever I was playing on my XBox till I completed this one. Chronotron (chrono=time, tron=robot) is a lonely robot. The only company he has is himself. He can travel back in time and chit chat with his old self or may be even complete the level he could not have completed alone. An amazing concept, great food for your mind. The levels become increasingly difficult as you move forward.

If you loved playing Hapland you'll definitely going to enjoy this one. The best category this game fits in is Puzzle game, but I feel Hapland has started an altogether new genre of games and this fits perfectly into it. WarBears (tagline: We Bring War to the Enemies of the Peace) is a fun game. It really is funny. In fact at times you don't regret making mistakes as you enjoy seeing the character's reactions. There's an emergency as the BedTime bank is being looted. Now its upto Agent Lucas, Kla, Steve and Ryoh to save the hostages and the money. The thugs are kind enough to wait for you till you reach the spot doing nothing at all. The script for the game is funny and silly at times but you never get bored of the game. Enjoy!!
I am in the process of writing the walkthrough of this game.. 'll update soon.
Warbears Walkthrough: coming soon!!!!

I am still surprised how I missed on this one for so long. Dice Wars is an amazing strategy game quite similar to the board game 'Risk' if you are familiar with it. Kudos to GameDesign and Taro Ito for this one. If you are a strategy game fan, be ready to sacrifice countless hours of your life on this one. I'll be going in a little depth about how to play this game as I couldn't find any details on the author's web site.
Tip: Try playing initially in 2 player mode. The default is 7. Once you get a hang of it, increase the number of opponents.
In two player mode your areas and dice will be purple in color and your opponents will be green. The one who captures the entire area is the winner. When its your turn first click on your area which is going to attack and an adjacent opponent area which is going to be attacked. Who wins? Say your area has 5 dice and the opponents has a less number of dice say 4 then your odds of winning are better. Luck factor also comes into picture. The dice will thrown and the sum will be calculated for you and the opponent, whoever scores better is the winner and the winner gets to capture the opponents area. The area will now become purple and 4 dice (5-1) will move to the new area leaving one behind to safegaurd your already captured area. You can play any number of times before you end your turn by clicking on the 'end turn' button. (And so can your opponent :P)
It will take just a little while to figure out strategies like hiding the weaker areas (having less number of dice) behind stronger ones, Not capturing some of the weaker areas of the opponent if you become vulnerable after that, Corners being safer bets and a lot more you'll figure out yourself.
Submachine 5 is a fabulous point and click game but beware it gets pretty challenging at points. Hey wait don't start yet if you haven't played the earlier Submachine parts. You have hours or perhaps days to go before you play this one. Start from the first part in order and see the mystery unfold. There is a connection. Here are the links to the Submachne prequels (is that a word?):
One thing that drives me off point and click games is that sometimes its more about luck and patience than logic. You have to see every pixel on the screen if it is clickable or not. Though initial parts are pretty easy to solve, The Root is the most challenging one. I wont write more as I am pretty sure no one is reading..
BTW if you are looking for a walkthrough you'll find it on the site itself, so I wont go through all the pains of writing it myself...

Wow cool animation, awesome music, smooth controls and great gameplay.. The only thing that some people may find objectionable is the depiction of their faiths (I don't.. I have lost all faith in everyone) which if the case is simply don't play it. Faith Fighter is a fighting game, only the characters are gods of different faiths. Each God has its combo moves.. You can play it against computer or in 2-player mode.. and after you have declared the supremacy of your faith against others.. comes the boss.. who it is? you have to find it out yourself. Well, some people might find this game a li'l objectionable but I think its better than fighting in flesh and blood. Enjoy
"Faith Fighter is the ultimate fighting game for these dark times. Choose your belief and kick the shit out of your enemies. Give vent to your intolerance! Religious hate has never been so much fun."

One of the first games I played after my gf dumped me. And this really helped me keep busy. Very simplistic and fantastic gameplay. You are a stunt pilot not exactly running on adrenaline but daring enough to zoom your plane through various rings suspended in the sky. You control your beautiful plane designed by some 3 yr old girl using only 3 keys.:
[Up] - To move your plane up. [Down] - Hold your breath .. To move your plane down. [Space] - Speed boost.
Using Speed boost you can rack up more points in your bag.. but the plane becomes equally difficult to control.
[Up] and [Down] keys may move your planes in exactly opposite direction of what you expected if your plane is moving towards left. Have fun.

The game size is approx 3MB so if you have an extremely slow dial-up connection then you may want to avoid this. The flash swf file can be copied from the temporary directory if you want to play it offline but I'm not sure whether copyright laws allow it for personal use. So do it at your own discretion.

Kronos is the Greek god of time and so the name Chronon. Enough teaching.. Eyemaze produces some really innovative and challenging puzzle games. Chronon is no exception and the gameplay is fabulous. Its a point and click game but not like others in the same genre. You'll have to think hard. The most interesting part of eyemaze games is that it adds one more dimension to your game - Time and that's where all the fun lies. The game starts with some weird looking monster going out of his house at 6 in the morning. A ghost that works during day time and returns back at 7 in the evening. There is a li'l yellow man in a cage. We have to return the Yellow man his freedom. A small hint: You dont need to kill the ghost to be free, you can also make him happy.. umm.. amke him some nice dish till he comes back. I wont spoil much of your fun discover it for yourself and enjoy. The Score at the bottom will give you an indicator if you are moving in the right direction.

Well I've never ever mentioned racing games in my blog.. I dont usually find flash racing games to be much involving.. but for quite a while I got hooked onto this game .. It may take time to load so avoid it if you are using dial-up connection.. the good thing is u can skip all the registration business and directly get into action.. Its a racing game and i need not explain you guz what racing is.. the only diff being that you are some fruit.. and you are racing with other goddamned fruits.. So start zooming...

The name "chaos theory" comes from the fact that the systems that the theory describes are apparently disordered, but chaos theory is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data. Well I know you'd have hit me if you'd have got hold of me.. Ok so before my visitors start closing down the windows, lets start talking about the game.. The game starts with some text which I tried hard to understand but couldnt.. It was japanese or may be chinese or may be some martian language... whatever it is just click on the first word and you'll enter the game.. it comprises of some circles moving up and down.. What you have to do is click somewhere on the screen at a point when there would be maximum chaos.. When you click a large circle will appear on the screen and when it collides with the smaller circles another big circle appears.. You can click only once... Try to make all 50 circles collide... This game is addictive.. atleast it was for me n I hope it will be for all of you guys too... enjoy..

Lets call the man standing above the platform as PlatformMan and the other one standing besides the lever the LeverMan. 1. Click the PlatformMan to move him to right side of the platform. 2. Now click the lever besides LeverMan. The PlatformMan will see items rotating above his head. When a carrot comes. Click on the carrot to be eaten by PlatformMan. 3. Again keep pressing the lever till another carrot comes. Now you have to be careful with the timing. click the carrot and before he eats it click on the top lid of the crate beneath the platform. The lid will open and the carrot will fall down. 4. Two flies will appear. You'll have to click on the flies so as not to let them eat the carrot. Yes, In Hapland a fly can eat an entire carrot. A bug will then come out of a swithch to eat the carrot. 5. Close both the switches. That will activate both the teleporters. 6 Now click the lever till an arrow comes on the screen above the PlatformMan. Now click the right lid of the crate beaneath the platform. Click the arrow. The Platform man will run and stand besides the teleporter. There is an arrow at the bootom of the tree. Click on it so that it faces right. Click on the PlatformMan so that it enters the house below the tree. He goes into the bathroom to flush out the carrot he has eaten (That's pretty fast digestive system). 7. Click on the bell of the house to get our PlatformMan out. Now click on the spaceship and immediately click on the right yellow buttom beneath the crate which itself is below the platform. The PlatformMan will run into the house and and the spaceship will carry the wheel and drop it near the tree to blow the detonator kept over there. 8. Ring the door bell again. 9. Click the platformMan. 10. Make him stand on the left side of the platform. 11. Keep clicking the lever till a shield appears on top. 12. Disconnect the switch just above the lever man. Pull the lever. The LeverMan will swim across. 13. Bend the pipe which will now be just above the LeverMan standing on the extreme Left. 14. Click the spaceship. Again timing needs to be perfect here. This usually works. Wait till spaceship goes out of the screen bounds and after a second of that click on the shield and then pull the lever on the extreme left. The white rock will hit the shield and bounce to hit the spaceship. The lake will freeze. 15. Again do the same thing to throw a white and a black ball(this is a bomb) into the basket hanging from the tree. 16. Turn on the light above the door on the extreme left. Our LeverMan will get a kick and he'll return to his original position. Click on the small wheel at the centre of the crate to start it rotating. Now click on the left yellow button. A wheel should come out. 17. Close the switch above the LeverMan. 18. Keep pulling the lever till a small red bomb appear on screen. Keep the Platform man on left and click on the bomb. The lake will now melt. 19. Click on the leaves above the crow to make a spider come out. Click on the top left window to have a carrot thrown out. Now click the spider again and immediately click on the crow. The crow will try to shoot the spider but will miss it to directly hit the tree to have a ladder appear and the basket fall to drain the lake. 20. Open the switch above the LeverMan and pull the lever. The leverman will go down the lake. 21. Let's call the third man - RepairMan. Click on the leaves of the right tree(directly above the rightmost teleporter). A fruit will fall to break the teleporter. Click on the bell. The repairman cannot tolerate any damage. He'll come down to repair it. As soon as he comes out of his shop. Click on the door to close it. 22. The repair man burn the vine. 23. After the vine has been burnt down. Click on the arrow to point it towards right. There is a large cave on the right hand side with a big box. Click on the left lid of the box to open it. Also open the manhole to allow access to the cave. 24. Now click the RepairMan. He'll fall into the cave. Click him again and he'll come out of the box on some vehicle. When he's just below the red something click on that so that it emits something into the vehcile. Immediatelt pull the lever in the lake. Again some weird thing should also fall into the vehicle. 25. The vehicle will now turn into some shodowy monster which will chase you. 26. You will run away but monster will hit the wall to show a button with 'Do Not press' written below it. DO NOT PRESS THE BUTTON. Instead click the rightmost wheel. 27. Now you can press the button for some flashy colour changing climax.
Its been a long time since my last post. I couldnt find any games worth mentioning over here. So till the time I get across some stupendously superb game I would mention here remakes of some retro blockbusters.
Tetris The name speaks for itself. Here you'll find a flash version of the game. This game has an edge over our good old version and that is online Hall of Fame. Compete with all Tetris fans across the globe. Wish you all the luck! game category: classic games game source: gamebrew
Pac Man/Pacman This game has eaten up huge amount of productive time of millions of people. But hey who cares as the more we eat the higher our scores get. And we all want to beat that b*$+*rd sitting on the top of the high-score chart isnt it? game category: classic games game source: goriya
Super Mario Brothers This game in its original form was a huge success. There have been hundreds of remakes. No guarantees about this particular flash version as I havent played it myself. Do write your comments about the game. game category: classic games game source: freeonlinegames
This one is old. But some games are worth mentioning and I dont want to miss out on this one appearing on my blogs. Beating up that little penguin has helped me get out of my frustration created by my dumb headed superiors. You ara a snowman and a penguin will jump from above just to let you hit him. Depending upon the timing the penguin is thrown away when you hit him. The distance b/w you and the penguin earns you that many points. Believe me this one's addictive.
Weird name, eh? Let me tell you what ALIAS stands for. Its 'Artificial Lifeform Intended for Assassination and Sabotage'. Even more weird, rt? Alias 2 is the sequel to the one of the best shooting 2D scroller games ever made on flash platform. Those of you who havent played Alias can have a look at it here.
The gameplay is smooth.. really smooth. The keyboard configuration is kept as follows:
D : Walk forward A : Walk backward D & S : roll forward, a+s - roll backward W : Climb Space - Jump Left mouse click : fire
This one's from freeonlinegames. Great work again! Unlimitted ammo. Keep that left button of your mouse pressed throughout. Go on a killing spree. Enjoy!
Well Hapland was a challenge, rt? Get ready for more adventure and challenge with the sequel(?) Hapland 2. Robin Allen has lived upto the expectations set for this much awaited game. Your Goal? Restore power to the portal in order to save a princess or something. Just light the damn torches. Sometimes helpful symbols are engraved on the walls. Click on everything! No, really, everything. Even that thin pink thing that doesnt look like it does anything. Enjoy

Hapland is a fun game and presents you with an interactive world where you have to guess how to reach your goal (and the goal itself I suppose). But so that you are not left guessing here is what you are supposed to do: Light up both the torches on the circle at top left corner of the screen which would open the stone portal to end up. See if you can complete this without any help from walkthroughs available on the net.

This one by Grant Robinson is fun to play. 20 thumbnails are displayed on screen and you have to guess what search term in Google's image search will display these images. This has nothing to do with Google Inc though it displays images retreived from Google's image search. Top scores are on daily basis.
Alien Hominid is a fast action 2D scrolling game. It is this fast action that gives the game its life. Developed by newgrounds this will keep you glued to your computer screens till you see the end. Uses Keyboard controller with arrow keys for obvious functions and 'a' and 's' keys to shoot and jump respectively.
I dont enjoy point and click games much so I was a li'l skeptical before I started playing this one but to my surprise this game turned out to be the best game in the genre I had ever played. Our strange hero's dog gets kidnapped by aliens and you need now to help our weird hero find his dog and escape. There are some really great graphics and photorealistic images (though at times it seems they have used real photographs). Great work by Amanita Designs.

Grow Cube is a wonderful startegy game. It may take time for some people to understand it at first. Try putting various objects that appear on screen in some order. There is only one order which will make you win the game. Eyemaze has done a great job developing this game and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
On similar lines EyeMaze has also introduced other grow games.
Balls and Walls launch game Balls and walls is an absolutely fantastic game. The gameplay is excellent. Play it in 2 player mode and you'll have loads of fun though it can also be played in single player mode. The game is very simple to get hang on. Use right/left arrow keys for movement. Up arrow keys sets an angle and pressing it again shoots the balls. You can fire any no of balls based on the duration for which the up key is pressed. While playing in 2 Player mode the left and right arrow keys are replaced by 'z' and 'x' and the up key is replaced by 's' for second player.

Its fun to see yourself improving and competing with other players (though there are some ridiculously high scores for first couple of players in the hall of fame). The game is simple and very easy to play. You'll see a gun after the game has launched. Wait and right click your mouse as soon as a bullet is fired.
