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

Shop Empire
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.

Colors

Colors Game
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

Hack Slash Crawl

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

Black Sea 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.
