You are a shark. You swim off the coast of Florida. You dive in and out of the water to smash boats, and you can pull jumbo jets out of the sky WITH YOUR TEETH. You are Miami Shark. Via Rockpapershotgun. Yes, it is as awesome as it sounds.

Anyone can make music.

Silent Conversation

litleozy — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:34:52 -0800

Silent conversation, a truly beautiful flash game that has you trying to touch as many words of a poem as you can. (Yes it does have Williams Carlos Williams) via bontegames

CONGRATULATIONS on your EFFORT

RUN! is a single-button flash game. Hold A to run, and let it go to slow down. There are three difficulty settings and five levels. The music, design and sfx are off-putting. You will probably either hate it or play it for about 3 hours, and then hate it. Also by the same author (authors?) is Rescue, a game about saving babies in a cave.

Just a little too late for Flash Friday, it's Flash Doom 2D, a fairly solid side-scroller.via Aaron Williams. I will admit to being the first person who can be swayed to like something simply because it's Doom, but I really like the way the fifteen year-old graphics and sounds are put to use.

Fun shooting mentally ill people in straightjackets

Madness Combat Defense, an evolution of the tower defense game.

Flash Friday RPG Fun: Hands of War. Set in a kingdom in the midst of a civil war, choose the factions you support while re-assembling the Heartstone.

Play with your balls!

Friday fun: The revamped Globulos! The French suite of cute, simple mini-games -- posted before -- has in its latest incarnation finally got rid of its annoying 15-minute limit for non-paying users. Now, simply register for free and bounce those Globulos! (You could play as a guest, I guess, but that would just be lame now, wouldn't it. Oh, and you can still buy Globbies if you want to give your Globulos a moustache or whatever.)

Super Stacker

Super Stacker. Flash Friday fun with a physics-based stacking game. (Via JIG).

Flash Friday: Auditorium

closetphilosopher — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:54:03 -0800

Auditorium is a musical flash game where you influence a stream of particles with gravity-based nodes. A steady stream of particles past a collector enables a layer of music. Good fun! Via Jay is Games

Go! Raze the land! Boil the seas!

Mastermind: World Conquerer puts you in the role of the evil Mastermind, supergenius bent on destroying* the world. A great ending and some hilarious dialogue make this game a gem. Hey, it's Friday in Australia by now, right? (via jig) * Destroying is conquering. It's true. I looked it up.

Casual Collective

owtytrof — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:07:56 -0800

Casual Collective has been linked before[Previously, and Previously-er], but they have some more recent, well-crafted games. Get Smart Control Defense is a tower defense style game. Yes, it's sponsored by the movie, but it's not particularly bad about bludgeoning you with ads. Attack of the Buggles is a totally different style of game, where manual dexterity is king. You play a lone gray buggle, collecting blue boxes to boost your score while avoiding the red buggles, which increase in number as you collect more boxes. There is a time-slowing mechanic, and, even more satisfying, a periodic green buggle that allows you to take revenge on those nasty reds. Other single player games include: Desktop Armada Missions Flash Element TD and Flash Element TD 2 Registration is not required to play any of the single player games. To play multi-player games, you can register for free. If you want to play the currently-in-beta Buggle Stars, you must pay to upgrade your registered account.

Complicated but satisfying.

Friday Flash Fun: Caravaneer is a game where you are a caravan leader in a post-apocalyptic world where towns and cities have formed around oases in the desert. You are one of the free marketeers that supply these towns with goods they need and buy the goods they produce. Your uncle has just died, leaving you a donkey, a rifle and some bullets, and $1000. Supply and demand are your friends and robbers are your enemy. This is a fairly complicated but ultimately fun game.

Flash Friday Fun: Pew pew space lasers! (Sort of.)

Planet Defender by MeFi's own justkevin. A tower defense-style game with shades of Missile Defender and Space Invaders, you fight against wave after wave after wave of invading aliens by building ion cannons, shields, and nuclear missile launchers in a bid to stave off the extinction of the human race. Also, for great health care! [via mefi projects]

Because it's filler, filler night.

Flash Friday: Filler. Fill the 2/3 of the available space using as few spheres as possible while avoiding the bouncing balls.

Friday Flash: Areas

Plutor — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 11:33:44 -0800

After playing Areas, I now feel the world needs more no-click ambient shmups. [via] I wrote a few sentences on how to play, and then I decided half of the fun of the game is figuring it out. So I deleted them. Jayisgames's review has a little information if you have no clue what's going on.

Friday Flash Fun - who needs to work, anyway?

Friday Flash Fun: Kongregate has a variety of games, including my current fave Castlewars, a card based game where you win by building up your own castle, or utterly destroying your opponent's castle. You may also enjoy luminara, which I can only describe as the dance version of Asteroids. Or, you could just have a monkey fire at balloons with darts.

Orbox B

Friday Flash Fun: Orbox B, the sequel to Orbox. [previously]

Letters If your screen isn't facing anyone, it looks like you're doing work. Happy flash friday everyone!

Did you find the alien?

Alison — Thu, 28 Apr 2005 12:26:12 -0800

Safeplaces is an interactive playground. Mushrooms twitch and squeak, trees react and the environment shifts between day and night. It even has its secrets. Further, less adorable work can be found here.

Have Fun.

Hero Machine 2. Like Hero Machine Classic, but not.

Shut up and feed me!

Catch and Release As I find this nearly impossible I have great confidence that the mefites will quickly master this. It beats working. Fun Flash Friday
