Flash games have become a firm fixture on many websites over the past few years, and while there are some excellent games out there, many of them are well below par. If you're looking for fun free games then look no further, here are 3 of the best Flash games of all time.
1. Crush The Castle. This game, and the "players pack" sequel simply has to be on any list of the best or most popular Flash games of the past few years. Published by Armor Games, Crush The Castle like many great games is extremely simple, but amazingly addictive. The aim of the game is to use a trebuchet to knock down a castle, with each level getting progressively more difficult.
Controls couldn't be simpler - just click the mouse one to set the trebuchet swinging, and again to release. Power and aim are both controlled simultaneously from timing the release. As you progress through the 24 levels you gain the ability to use more advanced ammo, from small rocks, through larger and multiple rocks, to bombs! You need to choose your ammo carefully to complete the game, and certain levels need specific tactics to beat them. Completion unlocks a level creator which I suspect has been the cause of more lost work hours than the game itself. It's a great little game, well produced, great graphics... I just wish there were more levels!
2. Bloons. I love this game - I really love this game! It's so simple, the graphics are basic, the gameplay is basic, yet even though I've completed it several times I still get the urge to go back and play it again! (Luckily there are several sequels to keep my happy!) You're a monkey, with darts ;) Well, that's a pretty good start isn't it! So, the idea is simply to throw your darts and burst all the balloons on the level. You need to burst a specific percentage to proceed, and there are 50 well designed levels in total.
Each level gives you a set number of darts, and you'll encounter obstacles and special balloons types along the way, but you'll also pick up special darts and powerups to help you in your quest. Bloons is a great game, but the best thing is that there are a number of great sequels, many of which are just as good as the original.
3. Grow Cube. OK now this is an odd game, with very little gameplay in fact, but it's so clever, so well produced, and so much fun that I just had to include it. You start with a large cube, made up of smaller individual cubes, and 10 buttons. Your only interaction with the game is to press these buttons, and every time you do it adds something to the cube which has a knock-on effect. Your goal is to click the 10 buttons in the correct order to "grow" the cube.
Now if that doesn't sound like much of a game, that's only because you really need to play this game to understand it. It's the intricate and funny animations caused by the player's inputs which make the game so fascinating to play and watch. Get the order wrong and there will be terrible consequences, but get it right and you'll be rewarded by watching all sorts of things happen in a clever sequence. It's impossible to get across the beauty of this game in words, so go and play the game and I'm sure you'll agree with me that its place on this list is well deserved! - 36864
