This is a relatively simple game but definitely an original concept. Your job is to rotate the sky or school of stars into the position where an object can be identified say an apple or a cat.
This is the first time i see a flash game using this kind of style to approach a puzzle game so i am impressed. The game play is rather easy because all the objects are seen in daily life so they are easily recognizable. Sadly, there is no difficulty progression in this game.

Casual Game: Ching Chong Beautiful
Ching Chong Beautiful is a simple yet addictive game. The objective is simple, run through a obstacle course, this game reminds me of Mirror Edge somehow. Well, it uses very random characters and storyline which definitely made the game unique.
The artwork and animation are done superbly well, definitely a style worth looking into. The game depends a lot on momentum to get through the course as quickly as possible. The level design is critical here, it is very difficult to define what level is more difficult to overcome in this sense. However, i dont think see a progressive difficulty type level here, its just random different obstacle all together.

Casual Game: Madness Accelerant
Madness Accelerant is a game design by the awesome Tom Fulp himself, creator of Newgrounds. This is a game which definitely has high production values, the graphics and animation are fantastic.
The gameplay is unique and linear, where you control a Madness character and fight the clown through different stages of the world. You will drop the Hit Points of the Clown to a certain level and you will be send to another stage. So this goes on until the Hit points reach zero and you win. Simple

Casual Game: Viva Caligula
Simple hack and slash game. Objective is simple, collect 26 different weapons across a city and enter the secret arena!
The collecting part was fun and while it last. Great way to kill time, pretty brainless.
Interesting concept by co-ordinating the alphabets to each weapon.

Casual Game: Turn Based RPG
This is a very simple and straightforward RPG. There is only one story and one battle, thats it!
I find this game very well done especially the in-game GUI and mechanics.Something unique will be, during the battle you can actually shop! Pretty interesting to have a mobile shop with you all the time.
It definitely can be explored and made into a full RPG. However, i just dont like the clicking to select character for any actions, just too much of it.
Well enjoy

Casual Game: Zodiac Reactor
Pretty cool game. The objective of the game is to capture colored particles by pressing the corresponding key at the correct moment which is when the particles is near the center reactor.
This game is interesting because unlike other arrow corresponding game. This one require a person to gauge and react to different timing and speed to get the perfect score. Pretty addictive i would say.
The physics is very interesting. I guess the programmer must be darn good to make such a game.

Casual Game: Endless Zombie Rampage 2
This is one of the best zombie games i have played. Featuring great gameplay depth and replayability.
You control a survivor and from a top down view will slaughter zombies. Some zombies have different moving pattern like one where it will run in random directions to distract you and mess up your aiming which i thought was pretty cool.
As usual, you will have different weapons and upgrades that can be purchased. There is also different kind of missions, picking up crate, saving survivors or just plain slaughter, pretty straightforward. If they can add a better variety of missions, i think this game is a WOW.

This is a sequel to one of the best point and click game i have played. Reincarnation lets you control a little devil to hunt down a very "evil" human and bring him to hell through a rich and fantasy world.
This game has a rich and compelling storyline which appeals to me. What makes a point and click game successful is in one of the fundamentals of Great Game, a Rich story.

Casual Game: Space Mutants from Space
A game that's rather similar to space invaders. However, i enjoy this game as the there are different variations of enemies and the way they attack you are always different for each level.
There are also bosses in the game.
There is a upgrade system as well which uses money that you get from killing enemies.

Casual Game: Color Strike Down
Here is a colorful game where you control a little meteor. Your job is to ram yourself into spaceships by changing your colors to suit the spaceships. The color concept is not original but i like the fact that, i can easily get a hang of the game and there is a sense of randomness to the enemies and the learning curve is just nice for me.

Casual Game: ZombieMan
A simple top down game where you play as a human and your job is to survive and at the same time kill zombies. The little twist game is that when a zombie gets you, you will turn into a zombie as well.
When you are a zombie, your job is to kill humans. Along the way you will pick up power ups.
Even though the concept is quite cool, there is no much depth in the game play. If the game has more actions than just shootings for humans and jumping around for zombies, it should be much better. Maybe an evolution system? or army , strategy system?

Casual Game: Fury Officer
Decent game. I chose this game not because its super good but it has potential as a good brawler. This current game is very weak in gameplay because a lot of the combos are hard to execute.
You control a character and suppose to slaughter through waves of enemies using different combos of attack. There are upgrades and items that you can pick up throughout the stages.

Very cool weather game. You are the wind and you are suppose to make a big hail stone by sustaining them in mid air as long as possible and try to land them on buildings, planes or people to gain points.

I came across this game or rather i will say more of a visual simulation. Its a puzzle platformer where you control a black man and go across a beautifully drawn world. The graphics are spectacular, best i have ever seen for a long time.
The game is pretty intuitive at the start, but i got bored after a while because there was not much action.

A game that uses the theme of reproduction.
You control a sperm and you have to make it through 5 levels of different areas around the woman's womb to reach the egg. Each level is different and offer a different experience.
Very creative and original game.
However, there is no re playability in this game and is relatively easy. This will be good for a
educational game perhaps. Maybe the designer can add power ups and different types of "sperms" to make the game more interesting.

Casual Game: KnightFall
All i can say is this is an awesome original game. A rare gem.
Its a simple and yet sophisticated puzzle action game with a lot of depth in game play.
You control a knight, actually you cant control him, you control a board that can be rotated left or right. There are random colour boxes scattered all over and you can destroy them by clicking them if 3 or more of the same color are together.
Your objective is to move your knight by destroying these boxes to get a key and to the gate.
Sounds simple huh? Well, the game decide to up the gameplay by putting monsters around, different monsters have different skills so the player have to think twice before they destroy any boxes.
Other features of the game include a level up system and certain items to help you along the way.
The production quality of this game is very high, it will probably be a commercial game soon.

Casual Game: Neverending Light
| This is a rather interesting game. You control a character who has taken a tour to an underground cavern, however, something went wrong and all of the other tourist were eaten by monsters. So you need to escape this place by venturing around this dark and creepy area using only a flashlight. The flashlight and shadow effects are really cool in this game, giving the game the creepy dark feel it needs. Rather short game, you can call it an interactive short movie if you want. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/484591 |
Casual Games: Portal Defender
| I just discovered a really good flash game. It has everything a game needs, awesome graphics and awesome gameplay. This game is basically a spin off of Castle Crashers on the Xbox360. However, its uses some of Newgrounds more famous and important people like Tom Fulp(creator of NG) and Dan Paladin(Artist of Castle Crasher) as the characters. If you never play before castle crasher. Basically, you choose a character, each character has different stats and then you fight through waves of enemies. Kind of like Little Fighter. The most of amazing thing of this game is the boss fights, every boss has a unique way to defeat them. Other features of the game include several mini games and achievements. I hope u enjoy it as much as i do. =D http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/484931 |

Casual Game: Block Drop
A puzzle game using blocks. You are a little Gem and your job is to jump across block ( which will sink them) and you must touch every single one and then land on a block with black and white boxes on it. Rather nice game with very relaxing music and atmosphere. However, because of the angle of the way the block is displayed, it is hard to gauge the distance between each block.
Anyway, pretty neat game.

Casual Game: Totem Destroyer 2
I have played Totem Destroyer 1 before and its an awesome action puzzle game. The objective is simple: There will be a Totem stack on top a lot of bricks placed in a specific pattern and at the bottom is a black brick. You are suppose to destroy all the bricks and make sure the Totem lands on the black brick and you win.
This game require a bit of luck and some skills and its really addictive because of the realistic physics that is applied here.
In Totem Destroyer 2 there are additional "Special" bricks and levels that you can play.
