Pure Geekery
This week’s Friday Fun is a simple puzzle game – you have to remove as much red as possible from the screen by making three slices. Gravity plays its part, and the key is to make your cuts in the right places for the red blocks (or parts of them) to drop off the screen.
You will need Flash to play and, if you already have it installed, should see the game below.
Sometimes you can’t beat a good old fashioned platform game – and this is no exception. Move around the levels, avoid the dangerous obstacles, and open the exit to move on to the next screen. There is, however, an added bonus… focus power. You’ll have to play to find out more ;)
You will need Flash, and while the sound can be put off it is helpful for hearing when enemies are about to attack.
This week’s Friday Fun, Blueprint 3D, is very similar to a previous game we’ve featured here. You are presented with a field of objects in 3D, and you have to rotate them until they make up a 2D picture. What looks like a random jumble of objects to start with ends up as a blueprint of a bike, bus, or… hey… there’s a Dalek in there too.
While it sounds like it might be a very simple thing to do, the number of times I have ended up with the image back to front or just not working out makes me realise it’s not as easy as it looks. There are 65 levels… see how you get on.
You’ll need Flash to play, and you can put the sound off without losing any gameplay value.
Explore the mind of a man stuck with his memories- only by forgetting the past can he advance.
Riiight – this sounds interesting… I wonder how that’s going to work in a Flash game? Well, it’s one of those where your actions come back to haunt you. Each level of this game sees you moving from entry to exit, but the exit only opens after a certain amount of time. That’s fine, except that you are also being followed by a “ghost” of your past actions. Where you jumped, the ghost will jump. Where you moved left or right, the ghost will move left or right. And if the ghost touches you… you have to start the level again.
The tricky part comes when the exit doesn’t open for a lengthier period of time, and the entrance has pumped out two or three ghosts. It gets quite crowded, and you have to think carefully about where you’re going to move to avoid meeting yourself again.
Oh, I know, it sounds a bit confusing. Just give it a go and it will all make sense :) You will need Flash to play, and there is some nice relaxing music to keep you chilled out.
Ah, true love. Nothing can get in the way of it… not even deadly spikes, falls from a height or constantly changing game mechanics. Which is handy, really, because those are some of the things you’ll encounter in this week’s Friday Fun.
The idea is to get the two characters to meet up with each other, avoiding the aforementioned spikes and falls, and coping with the fact that the game changes as the characters’ relationship evolves. One moment you can control each independently, the next you can only control one, and so on.
It’s a fun puzzle game, and kind of sweet at the same time.
You’ll need Flash to play.
This is a slightly abstract game – just find the key in each level by clicking, dragging, typing, and thinking. See how many levels you can complete before getting stuck :)
This game requires flash and has sound.
Poor penguins – it must be terrible to be a bird that can’t fly. Well, the penguin in this week’s Friday Fun is taking matters into his own hands. The backstory to this game is that he (or she) has been trying to learn to fly, but various obstacles keep getting in the way. So Learn to fly 2 has you trying to clear the path for a decent flight by firing a dummy penguin down a ramp.
Each flight earns you money, which you can use to upgrade your dummy in a bid to destroy all the obstacles in the shortest amount of time possible. I thing these kinds of games (very similar to Hedgehog Launch 2) are terribly addictive – it’s all the upgrades that keep me going until I finally complete the game.
Once you finish the story mode, you’ll unlock Classic and Arcade mode. You will need Flash to play, and there is sound but you can turn the volume down and the game still remains playable.
Happy Friday everyone – the weekend is nearly here! I thought for today’s Friday Fun we would revisit an old favourite – Flight of the Hamsters. All the info is on that page, but suffice to say it is an incredibly addictive flash game.

Have fun!
This week’s Friday Fun is a nice relaxing game of solitaire. Golf solitaire, to be precise. The idea is to remove all the cards from play. Cards can be removed if they are one higher or lower than the previous card played.
No pressure – even the sound is understated and relaxing :) You will need Flash to play.
Saving the Company is an improbably-storied game that has you trying to save the company you work for. Apparently there’s a risk it might go bankrupt, so your solution is to enter a trap-filed castle and work your way through the maze of levels.
You know, sometimes you don’t really need an excuse to play a platform/puzzle game… it’s all about the levels. Saving the Company is a fun little game with catchy music and a mix of levels ranging from simple to frustrating. Just right, really.
You will need Flash, and there is sound.
