What purpose does a flash game serve? Something to kill a few minutes while you decide if you should stay at work or go home early? Sounds about right. Flash games rather than their full on, disc-based counter-parts are able to rely on only one or two types of gameplay gimmicks without getting too repetitive.

Reminiscent of the old Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers games, Enough Plumbers is a maze game that has a twist. Like its retro counterparts, you are required to climb through a maze by jumping and running up different platforms. You need to collect coins along the way. The twist to the game is that every time you collect a coin you get a clone. You can collect as many clones as there are coins on each level. You are required to have at least one clone with you when you reach the end of the maze to advance to the next level. (more…)

The Shadow Game is an excellent and addictive new flash game that pays homage to games like N+ but with its own spin. In the game, the player controls a small hovering robot that sets about gathering stars to unlock the door to the next level.
The unique part of this game is the way it uses light. The game is presented through silhouettes that show you walls, guns, small crates and other level components. Most levels have a scout bot that moves around with a search light looking out for the player’s bot. If you move into the light, automatic turrets activate and destroy the player. (more…)
