Top 5 most addicting flash games of all times

Bejeweled
Bejeweled in my opinion is the most addicting game ever made though not all people like this type of games. They've just haven't tried it seriously, believe me. Matching beautiful and colorful gems with peaceful music as background - this is simply the best relaxation that you can achieve.

Tetris
The game mechanics are just too addicting. You can play the original game or try any of its clones and there are too many of them. The effect of this game mechanic on the brain is scientifically proven. You just need to play more and more, that's simple.

Bloons
Extremely popular and extremely addicting. The gameplay is very simple - cartoon monkey throwing darts at colorful balloons, but there are millions players addicted to this game and all its sequels all over the world.

Dino Run
Run to save yourself from the end of the world. You are cute little dinosaur that runs for its life in this great game.

Robot Unicorn Attack
Simple but addicting. And beautiful. Anyway I am a girl so I like the art but if white unicorns running over pink clouds is too much for you try the metal version of the game. Its as addicting as the original and the art is outstanding.

Shop Empire review

This game was pleasant surprise for me. Its cool, its fun, its very, very addicting and its beautiful. And addicting. Did I said addicting?
Your goal in this game is to build the greatest shopping mall, ever. You build in cities like London, New York, even Tokyo. Your starting location is Paris with the Eiffel Tower as your background. You can place shops like Burger Shop, Ice Cream Shop, Jewelery, Drug Store. Your horizontal place is limited so you must build more floors and elevators to them. Not all shops can be placed near one another, some will be more suited and will give you +1 compatibility. The toilet creates problem with any other shop except the drug store, I usually place those two behind the elevators but I don't know if its the best idea. Here is one short post about this, from the time when I first met this game. I'll edit it and will add more details later on.
You will need to hire security, technical and cleaning stuff for your shops. If you don't have enough security personal all your money will be taken by robbers. They will take money even if you have no money at all and your balance is bellow zero. I wonder if banks give you credits at night so you have money to give to robbers. Also your visitors will leave piles of trash so you must hire a cleaning stuff. And your shops will have electricity problems, so you need technicians.
Today I'll stop here because I'm very tired of writing all this. I am not a clever person, actually a blondie girl, so writing is very tiresome for me. And I'm lazy so I don't know when I'll continue this.
Anyway Shop Empire is very interesting game, with cool pixel art graphics and very addicting gameplay. Its only draw back is the problem when you have very big shop and many customers, your game starts to lag but with this many objects I can understand why. Anyway its great game.

Dinner Frenzy - are you hungry?

Dinner Frenzy is fast paced eating game where you control yellow character that eats flying food. Sounds hilarious, isn't it? Anyway, the game's goal is to eat as much food as you can for short time period. Healthy food brings you more points than hamburgers and junk food but any piece brings you some points so don't avoid food. I scored 1100, which is not too good but this is how much I can.

Play Dinner Frenzy

Colors

Colors is a puzzle game with very simple mechanics. You have a board covered with blocks with different colors. Your goal is to cover the board with blocks with only one color. You can change the color of the block at the bottom-left corner and all blocks that are in one group with it. Gradually as you change color the group will expand and eventually it will cover all blocks. To get better score you must play carefully and watch the number of your moves. The less moves you do the better your score will be.

Hack Slash Crawl - fun flash rpg game

Games like Diablo 2? On flash? Yep, they exist! Actually there are some pretty good online rpgs and one of the best is Hack Slash Crawl.

Its a dungeon exploring rpg game with random generated dungeon and easy point and click controls. At the beginning you can choose your character's race and class. Some of the races are Human, Demon, Goblin, etc. Some of the classes - Warrior, Necromancer, Mage, Paladin. Of course if this is too much for you, there is a random button that will make the choise in your place.

Once in game you will find yourself in a dungeon with a treasure chest near. Open the chest and pick your first present - it may be a weapon or piece of armor. Equip it if its better than your current gear. After this, its time for exploring the labirinth. There are different mobs arround the map - at the beginning there are some strange lizzard like green guys, some skeletons and some strange guys with two swords and without head. Anyway the battle is fun, and the loot is good and useful. You will gradually get better weapons and armor and will learn new spells and skills. At the end of each level there is a boss monster that is little tough than the others. Its also surrounded by other monsters and if you go head on, you will usually lose. For them I addopted the tactic of looring them outside the room and killing them one by one. The worrior has some binding skills that are pretty useful in case many mobs attack you at the same time.

The art is not something awesome but its good enough to create great dungeon atmosphere. The feeling of evil is there, you know. I like all the mobs except the lizzard-like ones.

Overall, Hack Slash Crawl is one exceptional game with great gameplay, good-enough art and great adventure. I hope that the authors will make a sequel soon.

Black Sea's Treasure

The summer! The sea! And of course our favorite match three games, with sea theme and nice, relaxing music. Black Sea's Treasure is one of these almost standard match three games that people like to play this days. Your goal is to match three or more sea objects in row or column. Its preferable to match five or at least four because then you will get a coin. For match of five you will get gold coin, for four you will get silver coin. To obtain this coin you must click on it. Don't search to match coins, they are not matchable. When you have at least one gold coin or two silver click on the button under the hourglass. It's small plus-like button just bellow it. This will extend your time with few seconds and will give you the chance to get more coins and again extend time. Pretty simple, but fun and addicting.

My top 3 favorite flash RPG games

Arcuz
Play Arcuz
Many people may disagree with me, but this is my list and my favorite games so Arcuz is first! It has great pixel art graphics and nice music but what I like the most is the gameplay. You can see many people complain about how hard is this game, but really I enjoyed that part. Except the final boss, that is little too tough.

Top 10 sites for free flash games

1. Armor Games
They are trying to collect only really interesting and unique online games. If you want to play interesting and cool games, rather than the next boring remake, consider visiting them first. They sponsor many popular games and my personal favorites are the GemCraft series, Crush the Castle and Bubble Tanks!

2 .Newgrounds
Almost all flash game developers publish their games there at some point. The community there is great and the site offers also art, audio and movies portals. The only think that I don’t like about Newgrounds, is that the site is really heavy and my mozilla has some small problems with their too big index page.

3. Kongregate
Another big and cool game portal! Actually its similar to newgrounds, but only for games. The site offers weekly and montly awards to game developers with the best games, so you could imagine that its collected many awesome games for you to play. They has an achievements system, and although I’m not into this stuff, you could receive medals and virtual prizes for playing games.

Frozen Imps - physics game

Fun physics game with cool gameplay, many levels and cute imps theme. Imps are frozen into ice balls and your goal is to move them to the fire. You can use some strange red guns to shoot at the ice balls or at the obstacles that are keeping them away from the fire. When an imp reaches the fire it revives and flies away. In every level your goal is to revive all imps.

Go help the imps at Quark Star Games

Big Bucks – online monopoly game

Big Bucks is great monopoly-like game where your goal is to buy property and bankrupt the other (computer) players. The game is fun, addicting and fast paced, as you struggle to keep your property, pay rents and taxes and buy more and more houses. At the beginning you can choose the difficulty of your enemies, as a noob player I prefer to start with all enemies on easy. You can choose the map size, small map will lead to short game, big one – long and even very long game. The computer is moving real time without waiting for the player’s moves so don’t waste time thinking complex plans.

Play Big Bucks on Salamander Arcade

Catch the Bubble – fast paced skill game

Catch the Bubble is light and fun skill game, where you must catch the bubbles with the same color as your mouse and avoid the ones that are colored differently. The game is great for your free time or to relieve some stress. Pass the levels and test your mouse skills!

1. GemCraft Labyrinth
Play GemCraft Labyrinth

The last of the famous GemCraft series by Game In A Bottle. GemCraft Labyrinth is one of the most addicting games I’ve ever played, and I’m not that much into the tower defense genre. The game has similar gameplay to the previous titles from the series but with several changes that make it a lot more interesting.

2. Xeno Tactics
Play Xeno Tactics
Actually the original Xeno Tactics is better than Xeno Tactics 2. One of the best tower defense games ever.

Each enemy ship has a letter or a word attach to it. You destroy the enemies through typing these letters or words. Later on the alien ships will spawn more ships with letters or words so the game is getting extremely hard even for pro players.

Play War of the Words

Flood

Flood is a cool game about defending a city from the flood. Water is flooding your territory and your role is to stop it from flooding everything. You can place big stone blocks to stop the water. The first level is really easy, you can pass it by just putting a block at one point at the beginning of the stone maze. Later on, the levels are getting harder and harder – you have to run more and place more blocks. In some levels the water is approaching from multiple sides.
The game is very addicting and challenging and I recommend it very much.

Go and play Flood

Blockz - more than tetris

Do you like tetris? Do you want to play tetris with hexagons or triangles? Then Blockz is the game for you! This game has the regular tetris rules but you can choose at the beginning the form of your blocks. And the graphics are actually sweet and colorful.
Anyway I can’t write much about its gameplay – just tetris game but it is cool and deserves mentioning.

Pathological – great puzzle game

Feed your brain with this great puzzle game – Pathological. Your unit is strange yellow triangle and you move it with the arrow keys. But its not as easy as it looks because when you start moving at a given direction you can’t stop or turn unless you hit an obstacle. There are different kinds of obstacles – some just stop you, others change your direction, thirds disappear at given time and so on. Some obstacles can be unlocked with keys but you must reach the key for them. Your ultimate goal is to reach the yellow circle – the gate point. At the beginning its really easy but after level ten the difficulty is rather high and the game is great challenge.
If you pass all levels you can build your own with its level editor. Not much games provide level editors with themselves and it’s a pity.

Play Pathological

Shmusicup - music and bullet hell

Shmusicup is great music/bullet hell game with very cute graphics.
A bullet hell game where the bullets patterns are generated by the music – sounds strange, isn’t it? Yep, but its really cool. You can use your own music or load the music that comes with the game.
