Get Smiley With 12 Swap

This is a very cute game and I do like the smiley faces. Players are presented with a grid of different colored smiley faces. What you have to do is move them around (one at a time) so that there are three in a row of the same color. To do that you just click on it and thereafter click on another one (that you want the original one to swap places with) and that one has to be to the left, right, below or above it and then those 2 faces will change colors.

I initially misunderstood slightly as I thought that I could move a smiley face as a first move to get a row of 3, but the game will only allow you to move a smiley face if it anticipates that by doing so you will create that row of 3 in that one move. It is not such a difficult game, but what can be quite challenging is that sometimes the colors look very similar (such as the red and orange; the green and blue) and the board is quite small (although there is a way to make it larger on a lot of computers) but these two factors probably render it tougher. Oh and the fact that as soon as you start moving the smiley faces, well, they just start smiling so that can add to the confusion.

You have two play mode options: either to play until your time runs out, or to play until you run out of moves and I always choose the latter option. Obviously the higher up you get in terms of levels, the harder (and more exciting) it gets.

Go For Blob Wars, Alone or With Buddies

Blob Wars is a great game to play, both whether you are alone and bored, or alone with a friend and bored. You have the option also of playing one game; best of three or best of five. I actually prefer to play Blob Wars alone primarily as I think all my friends are just way too competitive (but there again I guess they would say the same about me). Anyway Blob Wars is a lot of fun and you have to try and make everyone in to YOUR blobs (so they are on your side). You do this by putting a blob into an empty space or jumping into an open space up to one square away. You conduct both these moves with a mouse click. This highlights your blob and you must click on a highlighted spot to complete the move. Once you have made the move the blob becomes yours. The player with the most blobs at the end of the game, wins.

The music is pretty nail biting in Blob Wars. It sounds like you are setting up for battle. It goes quite quickly too and you have to be pretty much on your toes so that you don't get sapped to the other side (like I did A LOT in my first few games). As well as trying to get the opponents on your side, you have to try and not get taken to their side to Blob Wars is very much a game of defense and offense. Blob Wars takes a bit of practice to master the main ideas, but once you have done that, you can do pretty well really.

Play Flash Ping Pong for Great Fun!

The reason I originally chose to play flash games was because I just did not have the energy or inclination to start spending a ton of time downloading my favorite games from the Internet. But what I didn't imagine or expect was how great they could be. Because there are so many different flash games to play (a lot of which are free) I play a ton and thus go through phases of which my favorite ones are. Currently, I love to play ping pong flash game. I used to play ping pong with my brother when I was growing up so I understood the basic concept. But I tell you something...when I play ping pong in a flash environment it's WAY more exciting and I think I'm better skilled at it. Not only that but I'm sure that if I go out to play real live ping pong, because of my experience with flash ping pong gaming, I think I'll be really good at it.

It's a free game to play and the aim of the game is to bounce the ball as many times as possible. The more you get in to bouncing the ball without it dropping on the virtual floor, the more you begin to understand the whole concept of keeping a ball in the air - hence the reason I am sure I will be really good at playing real live ping pong. And of course with this ping pong flash game there is no downloading time (even though the size of the game is 353 kb) so I'm playing straight away without wasting any time. The mouse controls the ball so playing ping pong is also good for general computer skills as you learn to better control the mouse. It really is a great way of getting in to computer games as a general rule, especially since it's free!

Get Real Excitement from Bubbleshooter

There are very few things my husband and I come to blows on. And even with this cool and exciting flash game of bubbleshooter we are not exactly coming to blows! But when we vacation to a spa for 2 days and take only one laptop with us, we do tend to argue over who's going to play bubbleshooter first! It's just such a fun game! There are 6 different colored balls on a screen, filing three quarters of the screen (light blue; dark blue; yellow; green; red and fuscia pink). At the bottom of the screen are two colored balls - one that is going to come out immediately and the other one behind it that will come out afterwards. The goal of the game is to aim the first ball to the screen filled with balls, but to aim it to at least 2 of the same colors of these balls so that you knock them out. If you knock them out more balls do not fall down; if you fail, extra balls come down and you lose if too many balls come to the end of the screen.

What I've been learning in bubbleshooter recently as I've been developing my bubbleshooting skills, is that a good strategy is NOT to focus on the first ball but the second ball. If for example there are two options for the first ball (i.e. your first ball is red and there are two or more places where there is a clutter of red balls) then go for the red balls that will give you access to the next color that you are going to have to try knocking out.

My husband and I both find that the game is very unforgiving of 2 mistakes. And it is very unforgiving once you have knocked out one color on expert level (there are four levels with two ways of play: sniper and classic) then it gets really tough and the balls come down really fast. But that is what makes the game so exciting. You feel like you just HAVE to knock out another color. And the more colors you knock out, the faster the balls come down so you have to be really fast and clever. It's frustrating but in a fun way and we love it. Somehow it always adds to the enjoyment of our vacation!

While Away Time With THESE Cool Flash Games

Sometimes you just have to take a bit of time out. Not because things are difficult or anything, but just because you need to do something a bit different. My husband had been a semi-professional pool player for years - way before I had ever met him - and I guess because he was really good now, he just wasn't at all interested in showing me how to play. In fact it was his long-term pool partner who had taught me my first (and indeed until I discovered the flash game 3D pool) and only move in pool. Well, now that I was able to play on line, without even having to wait a moment to download the game (that's the beauty of flash games), I felt like I was actually managing to develop a skill in the game.

Within seconds of clicking on 3D pool, you can see your pool stick and aim it against the white ball (you can tell by my lingo that I know nothing of this game at all, right?). You get a small round diagram at the top of the board to show you how your pool stick is lined up, to help you organize your move. I have to tell you, it took me a while to get anywhere at all in this game initially, but once I did, I found that I was developing a skill that I had never managed to achieve when I played the game off line. And then when I next went to our pool table downstairs, my husband was most impressed that I was able to actually get somewhere in a real live game too! It will indeed take me some time to get to any kind of level so as to play the game against him, but I sure am a whole lot better than I was a few months ago! 3D pool is a great way of wasting time in a positive way.

Thunderstruck Flash Jolts You!

Thunderstruck Flash was the best game I have ever played.  I was using a different game by Microgaming when he had noticed the thunderbolt in the middle of the screen.  It said, "Play Thunderstruck Flash And Get a Jolt!"  Well, I thought that sounded like an exciting and enticing game, so I decided to give it a try.  Boy, I was happy that I had.  Thunderstruck Flash was so much fun that I couldn't let go.

Thunderstruck was exciting, full of music and great graphics, and bound to give out nice winnings.  These were the things that I love about Thunderstruck Flash.  The flash component always made the games more exciting and vibrant, and I try to play flash games whenever I can.  Now Thunderstruck - the Flash slot game - offers a great chance to play and enjoy.  This was just the type of game that I have been looking for and now it is right there for any computer.  I figured this blog would be a great way to spread the word about this fun game.
