While scrolling the massive amount of game submissions today, I came upon this little gem, color ball 3. Its one of those games a developer can make overnight that can be a lot of fun. It kept me entertained through my fifteen minute break I take between working on my sites. The point of the game is simple, there are different colored balls and you have to catch the balls that are the same color as you. Letting same colored balls go or touching balls of a different color loses you life. Its a game of quick reflexes and gets really fast after 4 or 5 level-ups.
The game is nicely put together an runs smooth but I do have a few complaints on the game. The first is that the game does get repetitive after a while as the game-play is constant and the same throughout. However, this is offset by the increases in speed and the fact that each game only lasts a few minutes. The music, while fitting at first, does get annoying after a while and I found myself playing on mute after the first five minutes. The final complaint is that the high scores are locked to the sponsor site and you have to usually go off the page you are on to see them. With the Mochi-ads API these days, there is very little reason why the scores shouldn’t be integrated in-game.
But besides these complaints, color ball 3 is still a fun game worth a few minutes of play time.
I ran across a cool physics-based egg game today called The Egg which uses a combination of walls and springs in real-life like fashion as tools you can use to get an egg to the final basket. I didn’t think much of the game at first, but was quickly addicted to its simple, yet challenging game play. Each level presented its own set of difficulties and sometimes new obstacles like bombs(added in stage 3) caught me by surprise when they appeared on the level. This is one game where a decent knowledge of physics and how collisions interact with each other actually helps you beat the game.
Even the first level wasn’t a complete piece of cake. I had to do trial and error quite a few times with the spring and the wall before I finally got the egg to fall into the final basket. It wasn’t so much that the egg had to fall into the basket on most levels, but the fact that certain targets needed to be hit and certain obstacles had to be avoided in order for the level to complete. The game is a great puzzle game for those people who want to bend their brain and figure out how to arrange the bounce platforms and walls to make the egg achieve the final goal. This game is well-executed with excellent playability.
If you don’t want to think that much and need a walk-through, take a look at this video, it is a complete walk-through:

Gravoider is the latest sponsored game from flashninjaclan.com. It, like click fest 3, is not some kind of amazing action or RPG game, but uses a simple mechanic that makes the game simple to play and fun. There are four modes and high scores for each of them. In this game, the objective is quite simple. You must use the mouse to drag the blue balls so they do not hit the falling red balls. If any of the blue balls hit, the game is over.
The harder the difficulty, the greater the number of balls you have to manage. There isn’t any overly complex physics in this game but the balls do follow basic rules of gravity and collision. For instance, the balls do bounce after they hit the ground and will bounce off walls, sometimes with very fast speed. You must keep track of this at all times or the balls will hit one of the falling objects and the game will be over. Its a game that is great for testing your ability to multi-task different objects to keep everything safely tucked away, out of the range of falling objects. I was not very good at it but had a fun fifteen minutes playing the game.
While not the game you may be looking for if you are looking to sit down for an hour and play a game, this game is great for killing that 10 minute break or snack-time you have.
This feature is on the shooting/point and click adventure JVC Stinger Sniper from Pencil Kids. Its a combination of a scope-sniping game and a point and click adventure. In some missions you’ll have a certain amount of time to kill the enemy or destroy a facility while in other missions you must interact with the environment to achieve an objective. In this game, you are part of an underground militia which is trying to liberate the earth from “stingers” in the 26th century. The stingers are bio-produced androids that have somehow taken over the operations of the world.
The game starts off easily with a simple sniping mission in which you must find and kill a few level 1 enemy stingers within a certain amount of time. The first mission is pretty easy and just by searching the building, you should easily be able to find all the enemies. The 2nd level is a bit trickier. You must deactivate a high-voltage security system, but if you touch the system without shutting off the electricity first, you die and the mission is failed. You must first get on top of the building to deactivate the electrical generator. To do this, remove the brick in front of the trash dump, then push the trach dump next to the building so you can use it to get on to the generator. Do not touch the generator! Instead click on the wire connection that leads from the generator to the cage to break it with a brick. Then climb down, enter the cage, and disable the security system. This took me a while to figure out. In most of these point and click adventures, you just have to find all the places where you can click in order to solve the puzzle and beat the level. For a more in-depth walkthrough, I suggest you visit This page(please note I am not affiliated with this site and it can be down at times).
Overall, I had a lot of fun playing this game and it kept me entertained for about an hour. Trying to find the solutions to some of the puzzles was frustrating but the sniping levels in between were enough to relieve the stress. This was a very well-balanced game between shooting and puzzles and the graphics were very smooth. If you’ve got a hour, I suggest you check this game out.
Sometimes I wonder why people like a certain game so much, even though there is little to no point in it. Click Fest 3 is one of those games. At first glance its just mindless clicking of bubbles as fast as you can. But if you play for a while, its strangely addicting, especially with the high scores. Trying to beat other people’s time just makes you want to play over and over again. Another reason the game is so appealing is that the levels and background are designed very well.
While it may not win any prizes of graphical greatness, the background patterns, the way the bubbles are designed and the music all add to the immersion of the game. The choice of either 15 or 30 levels lets players choose between a very short and a slightly longer game.
This game ended up getting a whopping 3.8 on Newgrounds and more plays than 95% or more of the games that get submitted to Newgrounds. It may even hit frontpage with that high score. This proves that it does not take great graphical or programming skill to make a successful game. You just have to have an idea for a game that has simple objectives, make the game attractive to the eye, and make it easy to play. The games that do the best are games where people compete for a high score but the task can be done in a few minutes. The average flash game player only spends 3-5 minutes playing per session, so keep that in mind the next time you are making a game.
Today’s feature is on the strategy/war game Epic War from Kongregate. Its a game inspired by Tolkien’s middle earth. In this game you pay the good guys with an army consisting of elves, hobbits, dwarves, dragons, and angels and fight against the evil forces of orcs, goblins, evil dragons, and demons. Each unit has 5 levels of upgrades. Your castle also has many upgrades each with 5 levels. All upgrades are bought with XP points you gain from killing enemy troops. Units are summoned by mana reserves, which you must upgrade through the game.
You start with the ability to summon hobbits, but with XP points you can buy the ability to summon elves, dwarves, as well as high-tier units. Many of the higher-tier units have ability that disable the lower-tier ones. For the first level or two, the only thing you need to summon are hobbits. Be sure to upgrade your mana capacity you can keep a steady flow coming. I suggest you use your XP points in the first few levels to unlock the elf warrior and the dwarf warrior unit as well as to purchase upgrades for your castle arrow. The castle arrows shoot almost all the way across the map so they will actually be doing the bulk of the damage throughout the game. Also be sure to purchase upgrades that hasten your mana regeneration rate and the rate at which slain enemies give you mana, you will need these in the later levels. Once you upgrade your castle arrows to full and upgrade the fire, ice, and thunder arrows to full, it should be enough to carry you through nearly the entire game by you just holding down A,S,D,F. Of course, you should buy your unit upgrades and higher-tier units as you get more XP. Through most of the levels, concentrate on upping your mana reserves first while killing most all enemy units with your arrows. Summon a few units to mop up the units that got through. Once you’ve upgraded your mana reserves enough continue using a combination of the arrows and powerful units to kill the enemy base. Victory is pretty easy using this method.
There are fifteen battlefields in all and there is a boss called “the end” at the end of the final battlefield. The thing has 250,000 HP and an attack power of 666. It moves toward your base and you have to kill it before it reaches your base and blows it up. It took me a while to figure out how to kill it but I finally did it using a combination of elves, hobbits, and archangels. Before you take it on, make sure you have upgraded everything to its maximum level and hold down A,S,D,F while sending a steady stream of elves, hobbits, and archangels at it. With mana upgraded to 9999 max and the regeneration and kill mana upgraded to full, you should never run out of mana to summon archangels, elves, and hobbits without pause. Throw in a dragon every once in a while when you have extra mana left over. The point of the units is not to kill the monster because frankly, the units don’t do very much damage. The point of the units is to slow the monster down so your arrows can take it down. Sending a constant stream of elves and hobbits forces the boss to stop and destroy them before moving on, therefore buying you the time you need to take it down. If you send a steady stream of elves, hobbits, and archangels, you should be able to kill it a safe distance away from your base. Happy battles!
Today’s Game feature is on Shadez Black Operations by By Sean cooper games. Its a strategy/war game where you must buy soldiers, tanks, and artillery and combine it with special strikes to defeat the enemy and advance on the warfield. When the game begins, you have a certain amount of cash and the ability to buy basic soldiers. To unlock other units and strikes, you must buy them.
Upgrades cost a hefty amount so when you are targeting an upgrade, be sure you have saved enough to get it. For starters in the first few levels, I suggest you get the tank unit upgrade right off the bat and buy a tank. Then for the first few levels, all you need to do is buy a couple of troops to use to stall the enemy while your tank blows them to smithereens. About 4 or 5 common soldiers is all you need to beat the first few levels. You will eventually need to buy the strikes. The main target of these strike should be enemy artillery. Once you’ve killed off all the enemies’ artillery, your artillery can completely pound the advancing infantry. Money carries over from mission to mission, so watch it and don’t overspend on one mission or you might not have enough money to make it through the next. If you carefully plan and manage the battles with artillery and timed strikes, you should be able to beat the game.
Overall, this is a very well balanced game and one that will keep you busy for at least a few hours and comes highly recommended. Give it a shot.
