Friday Fun: SCGMD4

Super Crazy Guitar Mania Deluxe 4 screenshot

 And the award for most unwieldy game title goes to… ((opens envelope)) … Super Crazy Guitar Mania Deluxe 4!

If you’ve played any of the Guitar Hero games, you’ll know what to expect here. Play along to the tune by hitting the right buttons at the right time… obviously you’ll be using a keyboard rather than a mock guitar. It’s surprisingly gratifying when you pull off a complex rhythm or combo.

You will need Flash and, while sound is not strictly required to play, the game is more than a little pointless without it :)

Do, a deer… reindeer that is… [Friday Fun]

December 23, 2011 By

I thought we’d revisit a previous Friday Fun this week, seeing as it is so close to Christmas and all!

This week’s Friday Fun isn’t a game as such… it’s a row of reindeer that all play different notes when you honk their noses. Use the guidance to play Christmas carols, or just play around and come up with your own tunes.

You’ll need Flash, and the sound on (obviously). Try not to annoy the other inhabitants of your house too much :)

Friday Fun: Flight

December 9, 2011 By

Paper plane flying

Paper aeroplanes are such simple fun, aren’t they? But there’s quite an art to creating the “perfect” plane… flaps, tail, different folds, all with the aim of getting more flight time out of that little paper aircraft.

This week’s Friday Fun has you trying to deliver a letter via paper aeroplane. The idea is to throw it as far as possible, collecting power ups along the way. The plane can be upgraded, as you earn money depending on how good your flights are.

The game is fairly repetitive, but a nice distraction all the same :) You’ll need Flash to play.

Friday Fun: 3 Slices

December 2, 2011 By

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.

Friday Fun: Focus

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.

Friday Fun: Blueprint 3D

November 18, 2011 By

Blueprint 3D

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.

Friday Fun: One Step Back

November 4, 2011 By

Game screenshot showing a man running round a maze with several other figures chasing him - One Step Back

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.

Friday Fun: One and One Story

October 28, 2011 By

One and One Story - game screenshotAh, 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.

Friday Fun: Me and the Key

October 21, 2011 By

meandthekey

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.

Friday Fun: Learn to fly 2

October 14, 2011 By

Learn to fly 2

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.
