Play Wooden Path

Wednesday at work. Could I think of a better way to spend the day? Why yes, I think I can.

Wooden Path is an isometric block-shifting puzzle game that tasks you with creating a wooden bridge to cross a river. You need to position the wooden blocks together so that they make an unbroken path from one river bank to the other. Naturally bridge building is not as easy as it used to be and there are a variety of blocks of different types and sizes scattered around the level to impede your progress.

Keen spacial skills and patience will prove helpful here. Unfortunately when those traits were being given out, I was standing in line for shockingly good looks. Damn!

Death is Fun: Play Super Karoshi

Do feel so overworked that you just want to die? If death by painful spikes is a reprieve from your job, then I’ve got a game for YOU.

Created by Jesse Venbrux, Super Karoshi a suicide-themed platform-puzzler where you must guide your office worker to the end of the level by – you guessed it – killing yourself. It’s counter-intuitive but a whole lot of fun – and blood and guts. Death await in the 60 levels of this game – it’s sure to kill your productivity. :yes:

Flash Game Friday: Minim

I totally forgot about this and I’d feel guilty about it if I didn’t think guilt was an unnecessary feeling ;-) Truth be told, I’ve got inFAMOUS on the brain and can’t wait to get home and play it.But I’m stuck at work for a while and have been pleasantly entertained with number-puzzler Minim.

In Minim you are presented with a molecule made up of number atoms and modifier atoms.  You now need to combine atoms with the same number to minimize the puzzle molecule to a single atom. It’s starts off pretty easy and then dispenses with the niceties. Use the mouse to click and combine atoms, drag atoms, and rotate the molecule.

Chronotron!

This may kill your productivity stone dead.

If you’re a fan of Lost or Doctor Who, then you might like Chronotron. In this cute puzzler you play as a robot whose time-travelling machine (which looks suspiciously like the TARDIS) is broken. It’s only able to loop back in time and to fix it you need to collect the circuits in each level to fix it.

Here’s the nifty bit – you can use your time machine to create multiple (past) versions of yourself to help you solve the puzzles. You can create as many copies as you want, but if you interfere with a past self’s ability to return to the time machine, you will cause a game-ending paradox. Some lateral thinking is needed here to clear the 35 levels and 5 bonus levels.

Flash Game Friday: Splitter

Today’s time waster is another cool physics puzzle in which you need to split objects to get your googly-eyed smiley face to the goal. You have a limited number of cuts that can be made, so make them count, and collecting the star in each level adds to your score.

Click and drag the mouse to make the cut – you can split joints and wood objects, but not metal and brick objects. There are 25 levels to be cleared and each can be solved in a number of different ways.

Play Splitter at Kongregate and let us know how you got on.

Play Cubiq

It was a late night of drinking and driving (in Burnout Paradise before anyone decides to get the high horse out the stable). And I’m feeling pretty borken. Luckily I’m in the cubicle that time forgot, so being a non-starter is pretty easy. And I’ve been trying my hand at today’s time waster, Cubiq.

In this puzzle game, you need to connect all the lines on the blocks of the cube to each other. Clicking a block flips it around, and use the in-game controls or the arrow keys to rotate the cube.  The music is so soothing it’s putting me to sleep. Apparently nobody has solved all 10 levels of the game – will you be the first one to do it?

Flash Game Friday: Neon Maze

A little late, but there’s still a good few hours of work to be wasted today and this little gem may just keep you occupied til you knock off.

In a similar theme to the Hue Test I posted earlier, Neon Maze is a colour-based puzzle/strategy game where you need to guide your ship through a glowing labyrinth to the exit. The coloured walls aren’t just for show – you’ll need to change your ship’s colour to that of the wall to pass through it, for example, touch a red gear to colour your ship red, and move through red walls. Touching a wall that is a different colour that your ship will result in a shock and a reduction in the points you’ll get at the end of the level.

Anyone who has trouble with colour perception (oooh ooh pick me!) may have some difficulty with this game.

Try get through 25 levels of Neon Maze at Newsgrounds.

Meat Boy Brings Retro Goodness, Hitler Gets a Mention Too

From Jonathan Mcentee and Edmund McMillen comes an old-school platformer with loads of meaty goodness. In Meat Boy, you and the girlfriend Band-Aid Girl are having a good time when she gets kidnapped by some blob-type thing. You need to get her back but in your way stands a series of dastardly jumping puzzles. With blocky graphics, a catchy soundtrack, and ever challenging (yet addictive) puzzles, it makes for some great retro fun.

Play Meat Boy at Newgrounds.

The cute little fleshbag will be making a transition to the Nintendo Wii as a WiiWare title; Super Meat Boy is slated for release later this year. They seem to have got the ball rolling with some potentially offensive advertising that takes a dig at vegetarians and Hitler in the same breath.

The dubious text has since been edited out on the game developer’s blog. Keep updated with the game’s progress at Super Meat Boy.

Flash Game Friday: Neon Disks

I’ll soon be jumping to my death taking the most awesome flight of fancy off Lion’s Head.I forgot my security blanket (a tub of lavender gel) at home so I’m a little on edge. It’s pretty difficult to think about much else, so here’s a quick submission for Flash Game Friday.

Created by alphabetgamer, Neon Disks is a physics-based skill game where you need to light up all the disks in a level by firing balls at them. You have a limited amount of balls that can be fired, so use them efficiently. At the end of each level, you can select a helpful upgrade to use.
