15 Addictive Online Games: IV
Nov 2nd, 2009 | By leimrod | Category: FeaturedIn true Hollywood Movie Sequel fashion I’ve decided to drop the previous convention of naming these flash game lists and start using Roman Numerals instead. I’m really not posting these to curry favour from stumblers (fellow stumblers, virtual high 5 *slap*), more, when I’m travelling I like to have a central location for flash game links to burn some time waiting in an airport or in a hotel room. Sure I could store them in del.ico.us or xmarks, but I’d rather share them so everyone can play them. Plus I’m sure most of you stumblers will probably give this a thumbs down now… stumbleupon really is a fickle mistress, but god I still love her.
For my previous posts in this series, see this link:
I actually have accumulated WAY more than 15 good flash games, but I’ll pick the cream of the crop for this post.
Robokill: Man I blew so much time on this game. I actually played it with a 360 controller using xpadder to map the controls to the keys used in the game. There are loads of weapons and levels in the free version, but if you want to play more you’ll have to pay for level 5 onwards. The screenshot doesn’t do it justice, this really is a great browser game.
Frantic 2: In my original 15 games post, I recommended the original Frantic flash game. They’ve now released its sequel. It’s pretty much been improved in nearly every way.
Ice Breaker: Really, really good game. I’ve seen this type of game before, but never produced with such a high quality. I have a soft spot for good pixel art, which this game has. It also has excellent music. The gameplay requires you to make cuts in the ice to free the trapped Vikings and get them back to their ship. Easy at first, but you will scratch your head in some of the later levels.
Okami Flash Game: Just keep getting the items to progress. The more items you get in a row the greater the multiplier. Simple enough graphics but effective.
Don’t Look Back: Very simple and old-school looking game but damn is it good. This one pretty much distracted the entire office where I work for about half an hour until we’d all completed it. It isn’t that difficult, but some of the puzzles will have you scratching your head in confusion.
Retroshoot: Very addictive game. It’s a throw back to the old arcade side/up scrolling shmups. On a few gos, I managed to get to lvl 11 before having to use a continue.
Koi2: Words can’t describe this game. I’ve played it quite a few times and I still can’t work out “why?”. I think the aim of the game is to shoot your hand at the woman on the other side of the table and poke her in the eye… just play it and see for yourself.
Domo-kun’s Angry Smashfest!: Domo-kun and the powerpuff girls. KEELLL THEM!!! I love the artwork in this. If this game had been released on the Genesis when I was a kid I would of bought (and probably paid £60 for it also, man how things have changed)
Amberial: Get a bouncing ball to the finish line. A lot more difficult than it sounds.
Giraffe Attack: Short but hilarious game. A basic upscrolling shmup. Music and graphics are excellent.
Canabalt: Great game, and what’s even better about is that the level is randomly generated so no 2 games of it will be the same. Just keep running to the right, the more you survive without hitting anything the faster you’ll go.
Cat Cat Watermelon: Simple (to begin with) physics based game. Just stack the cats and watermelons (as well as some other objects). The music is also retro-awesome.
SAS Zombie Assault 2: Similar to Left4KDead, it’s a top down shooter. Hold the house and fend off the incoming Zombie horde.
The Unfair Platformer: This game wants you to lose. It’s really a trial of attrition, how much failure can you handle before you quit, lol
Queens: I love the simple Pixel Art in this. Like the previous game this ones aim is to make you lose. You’ll pass it by correctly remembering the areas and timing your jumps.


















I bet you love the artwork in the Domo Kun game. It’s sprites were lifted from Capcom’s Megaman Exe.
Want some cheese with that whine, matt? Nice article, didn’t know about a few of those.
I played a game a long time ago. It involved shooting a ball into a map with different objects, controlling the angle and power of shot, and then the ball would affected by the gravity of the objects in the map. So you would have to get the right angle and power to get the ball where the ‘finish line’ was. Have you seen or heard of this game. I cant remember what it was called. Very addicting game.
Where Bloons Tower Defense? MOST….. ADDICTING…. FLASH GAME……. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you like Icebreaker’s pixel art, you should check out http://www.nitrome.com (the creators), all their games have pixel art graphics, and they’re generally very good.
No Samorost? Not even Fancy Pants Adventure?
Very enjoyable online games i like to play online games
