It’s Friday, and it’s lame outside (weather), so that means it’s time to post an addictive game. This time its a really simple javascript based browser game called entanglement. The object of the game is to incorporate as many tiles as you can while still running one complete line, all the while not hitting the middle or the sides of the object. Scroll the mouse wheel or use arrow keys to rotate a tile, then click to place it. Once a tile is placed, it cannot be picked up again. The longest I’ve made so far is 76 on the first level, and 79 on the 2 tiles mode (which isn’t unlocked until you get more than 75 on the first level).

So what’s a blogger to do when he can’t sleep? Find addicting flash games for you to enjoy of course! This one is called Destructo-Truck and is exactly that… you drive a truck down a crazy long ramp which has been set up for unknown reasons on the edge of a VERY large town. Once airborne it is your responsibility to land on buildings, gas tankers, and even space ship launch pads. Yes this city really does have everything, even little inaccurately green Wall-mart stores. I found myself playing the game for nearly 2 hours before I realized the time and that I had the best score of the day Screenshot above…

No thanks to MaximumPC (Those assholes), I just found a list of amazing flash games that they call “Worth getting addicted to”. The sad part is that most of them I’ve tried. I’ll save you the read which is lengthy at 5 pages and give you the names, game type, and link after the jump.

I’ve been linked to another flash game that has somehow managed to steal nearly 2 days of work away from me… I hope my employer doesn’t read my blog! OH WAIT HE DOES!

Its another tower defense game with a twist. You get gems to activate a tower, and can redeploy as often as you feel you need to, with nothing more than a slight time delay. Unlike most turret defense games out there, this one actually takes a while to figure out the right patterns and schemes to successfully stop the waves of baddies. Give it a try if you find you’re bored or have a few days to devote to a stupid flash game… <sigh>

A few years ago I starting hosting a javascript game on my members page here at WritheM and found that it was getting plenty of attention… I guess because its so addicting. Today I received a link to it from a co-worker challenging me that I couldn’t beat her score. I promptly beat her score and even sent her the above screenshot… That’ll learn them to send me links to my own website! *grin*
There are plenty of places this has appeared to be hosted on the internet… so give it a try if you havn’t already.

PS. If you get anything higher than 35 seconds, you’re a cheater. If you actually beat my score (without cheating), post your time in the comments.

Escapa!

A friend linked me a game and it all went down hill from there… oh so pun-ny! The object of the game is to make your little penguin get as far from the ramp as possible before touching the water. For each jump you do, you’ll earn money which you can then spend to buy aids that will help you get farther. There are levels with different degrees off the ramp and acheivements for each level. It takes the basics of many flash games from the past, and adds an RPG element to the game. Even more enjoyable than i would have thought… Give it a try!

UPDATE: My max score from a single round was day 26 with $9921. Post a comment with proof if you can beat that! 9921.jpg (23.66 kb)
