Online Flash game -- Totem Destroyer.

Totem Destroyer (surely that should be Totem Saver) is a skill/puzzle game. Your task is to remove the specified number of blocks, without allowing the totem (the gold idol) to touch the floor, or fall from a great height.
The game has twentyfive levels of increasing difficulty. Your progress through the game is saved and you can return to any level you have unlocked.

There are three types of blocks, normal, slippery and indestructible. Only the first two types can be removed, by clicking on them.
The game is entertaining and moderately difficult, with some levels requiring several attempts, a little puzzling, some quick clicking and a dash of luck.

Online Flash game -- The Worlds Hardest Game.

The Worlds Hardest Game is quite a title to live up to. But TWHG is certainly in the top ten for difficuly.
It is a very playable game and the thirty levels are possible, they just require speed, timing, coordination and sometimes some thought.

The object of the game is simple, using the arrow keys, move the red block to each green area, collecting any yellow dots and avoiding the moving blue dots. The less times you die, the better your score (which can be recorded online).
The difficulty, is that space between obstacles is often very tight and your red block doesn't move very fast.

Your progress through the game isn't saved, so you would need to complete the game in one sitting, which is a pain. But apart from that, it's a playable, if very frustrating game.

Note: You will need Flash enabled in your browser and loading time is approx 3 minutes on a 56K connection.

Online Flash game -- Blast-O-Matic.

Blast-O-Matic features ten power gauges of various designs. You click with the mouse, to stop the active gauge at peak power. After setting all ten gauges, you then move to a second screen, where a cannon will blast a projectile, using the power you have made available. The further the projectile travels, the greater your score.

When I first tried this game I wasn't very impressed, but I had another go, to see if I could get a better score and then another go and another and another.....
So the game certainly has something. It's really crying out for online scoring, but in the meantime, see if you can beat my awesome score of 129,675.

Online Flash game -- Sheep Pool.

In Sheep Pool you control Frisbee the dog with your mouse and Frisbees task, is to get each of the sheep in a pocket before the time runs out.
Just to make the game more difficult, the sheep are numbered one to six, as are the pockets and each sheep must go in the pocket of the same number. If that wasn't difficult enough, the sheep must go in the pockets in the order one, two, three,etc.

I found Sheep Pool fun, but also very difficult and frustrating. The sheep move like real sheep (ie, very stupidly) and if you don't keep an eye on them, they have a tendency to fall down pockets in the wrong order. They are also quite tricky to shepherd, with individuals always trying to return to the flock.
Frisbee can move outside the table, which is useful to get the flock off the sides, but he can fall in the pockets, so be careful. To break up the flock and single out one sheep, run Frisbee briskly through the group.
I haven't managed to "pot" all six sheep yet, the best I've managed is five and I blame the dog...................

Online Flash game -- Shuffle.

Shuffle is a simple but addictive game, due in no small part, to the excellent computer opponent.
The object of the game is to knock all of your opponents balls off the board. At the start of the game you both have a row of eight balls, but at the end of each round the winning side starts the next round with one less ball. A game is won, when one side wins four rounds, the winner then starts the next game with one less ball.
The mouse is used to aim and set the power of each shot and you must try to knock multiple balls out of play with each shot, while keeping your balls on the board. The game requires some thought and skill and a good starting shot is essential.
I have managed to win three games in a row, but eventually you end up facing seemingly impossible odds, such as three balls against eight.

Online Flash game -- BoomShine.

BoomShine is a simple little game, but quite relaxing. The playing area contains a number of balls, clicking (you only get one click) on a ball causes it to expand for a short time and any other balls that collide with an expanded ball, expand themselves.

At the start of each level you are given a goal, to expand a minimum number of balls, from the total present, if you achieve this number, you move on to the next level.
The game difficulty increases, by increasing the proportion of balls you need to expand, I got as far 44 from 55.
BoomShine is a combination of skill and luck and with the relaxing music and gentle gameplay, is a peaceful way to spend ten minutes.

Online Flash game -- Double Ball.

Double Ball is a very simple game, you have two balls and two bats, one bat moves to the left and right as you move the mouse, the other tilts to the left or right. You must use the small bat to keep the small ball in the air, while ensuring that the large ball doesn't roll off the large bat, drop either ball and the game is over.

Your time is shown at the bottom of the screen and disparaging comments are made about your intelligence, depending on how well you have done.
My best time is a shade over 28 seconds, but the first few plays I was only on par with a poodle!

The default game language is French, for English click the flag at the bottom left of the game window.
Estimated loading time, 20 seconds on a 56k dialup connection.

Online Flash game -- Ball Trap.

Ball Trap is a very simple game, but quite addictive. Your task, is to get all the blue balls, on the blue side and all the red balls, on the red side. You do this, by sliding a hole up and down the central barrier, using your mouse.

The five levels get more difficult as you progress, with the balls increasing in both quantity and speed. The game takes a lot of concentration and coordination, I have yet to complete level five, so I can't tell you what happens at the end!

Flash game -- Sheep Shoot.

In this little Flash game five of your sheep will make a dash for freedom, you need to tranquillise them as quickly as possible, but don't jump the gun, or there is a three second penalty.
You are given a reaction rating, depending on the speed of your reflexes, I was rated Bobbing Bobcat.

Loading time should be less than a minute on 56k dialup.

Online Flash game -- Drag the Dot.

In this sixteen level game, you must drag the dot, using the mouse, to the exit block, avoiding moving blocks and flaps along the way, colliding with any object, will return you to the start.
Some blocks can be moved out of the way, using the arrows at the bottom of the screen and there are portals, that transport you to a different part of the screen.
After the sixteenth level you meet the boss!!!

Graphically the game is very simple, with a bit of a nostalgic feel to it. The music is also very simple and repetitive, but fortunately can be turned off, with the "S" key.

An enjoyable little game, not especially difficult, although I did struggle to get past the crushing blocks, on the last level. It should keep you entertained for fifteen minutes, or so.
