Acheivement Unlocked 2

After the success of Acheivement Unlocked - a game where you play as a dark blue elephant to complete a collection of 100 tasks - there is now Acheivement Unlocked 2! In the sequel you play as a light blue elephant, and there are now 500 acheivements to unlock. There are also five "level packs" to purchase using the in-game coin system. Is it possible to have too much fun?

PuzzGrid

If you've ever seen the hit TV Quiz show Only Connect and wanted to play along at home then this is the puzzle site for you. This site contains many "connecting walls" to play, as well as the facility to submit your own puzzles. Incidentally, you can play the official grids here.

All PuzzGrid needs now is a few Victoria Coren monologues...

Zombie City Tactics

Zombie City Tactics is a turn based strategy game themed around a zombie infested city. It plays a little bit (but not much) like chess - with the humans and zombies taking it in turn to move their pieces around a grid. There are three types of humans - bog standard one square per turn, soldiers who take a piece without moving, and slayers who can move two spaces per turn. They can be dropped into the playing field, but cost different amounts of energy to summon. The energy is gained by holding land against the zombies and so there's a balance to find between all out offence and simply staying put. Overall the game is nicely put together and the 3D layout is pretty cool.

ASCIIpOrtal

ASCIIpOrtal is a 2D ASCII version of Valve’s Portal. Run around, fire portals, jump through portals, dodge barrels, push switches and enjoy the company of your companion cubes... all in wonderful text format.

Interestingly (or not really) the character set used isn't ASCII - for instance the green player character (see Wikipedia). Also the game's author lists his inspirations as "Increpare’s Portile game, Super Serif Bros, and Valve’s Portal". So it's not ASCII, nor is it just Portal, but it is definitely awesome.

Shift 4

Shift 4 shares much with Shift, Shift 2 and Shift 3. Once again you are stuck jumping around in a maze of walls and not walls, which become not walls and walls (respectively) as soon as you hit the shift key. However this time there is the added complication of more people to control. A great game with an almost comprehensible "rescue the family" plot line; I give it five stars.

Shift 3

The title of this, the third game in the Shift series, won't come as a surprise to many; Shift 3 is incrementally titled after Shift and Shift 2. It introduces a new element of adventure with the PDA powered map. There are also a load of new achievements to attain and even a couple of secret characters to unlock.

Shift 2

After a weird opening Shift 2 quickly picks up pace and is a very good sequel to Shift. More puzzles and more strange in game text and a few extra things to interact with. Now there is also a level editor, medals and a high score table (which is of course impossible to get on).

Shift

A clever platform game where the floor is the roof and the inside of blocks is also the outside... Umm... Control the character with the arrow keys and then use the shift key to invert the man about the floor he is currently standing on. Collect keys to open gates and avoid the spikes (both sides of them). There is an in game timer from which you can find your score and plenty of in game text about the in game timer (almost all of which can be completely ignored :-)

Achievement Unlocked

The aim of the game is to "unlock" the 100 achievements by achieving them. The game is, in my opinion, brilliant although one of the achievements (#55) requires some rather specific knowledge, or a lot of luck.

Also I have no idea why you play as an elephant.

Meeblings2

The sequel to Meeblings - this game is very similar to the first, but with better graphics. Also the option to create your own levels.

Meeblings

Use the special powers of the various different "Meeblings" to bounce them to the exit. Yellow attracts, blue repels, ... you can pick up the rest as you play. Click and hold on a Meebling to activate their special power.

This game reminded me a bit of Lemmings.

Fantastic Contraption

Create a machine that will get the pink shape to the finish zone. Similar idea to The Incredible Machine, only with far far less parts you can use.

Possibly the most frustrating thing about this game is that once you have completed a level you can click on the "Other Players' Designs" button and see a thousand solutions that are much simpler and more efficient than the one you just came up with!

Grow Tower

At last, another game in the Grow series of games! Although it looks simple it's actually quite tough still. Anyway the game pretty much speaks for itself.

Find Obama

A very simple game where you have to find Barack Obama. He has been photoshopped into fifteen pictures and it's your job to find him.

Christmas Tree Puzzle

A festive puzzle especially for you!

Connect up all the wires to light up the bulbs (and also the wires) on the Christmas tree!

Amazing.

Auditorium (Demo)

This game is not only very beautiful visually, but also great to listen to! Change the position and the size of the directional circles to fill the sound bars. Once all the sound bars are completely full you get given another level (which is usually quite a bit harder than the last).

Very good puzzle game, and it bodes well for the full version.

Super Stacker

Balance the blocks on top of each other, but don't let them fall. How quickly can you stack the blocks for all of the twelve levels?

Cursor * 10

Click stairs and move.
The 16th floor is a goal.
Cooperate by oneself?!

You heard the man - now do it!

Grow Nano 3

More weirdness in the latest game in the grow series. This time the aim is to help the little man get back to full health. It's not amazing, but if you haven't already seen them I recommend trying some of the other games on the site!

Box Heroes Teleporter

Box Heroes Teleporter is a very simple game where the aim is to roll the coloured boxes around to their respective goals.
The game is made considerably harder by the presence of teleporter blocks which transport a block from the "in" end of one, to the "out" end of the other. These transporter blocks can be moved around themselves, and a lot of the levels involve using the teleporter blocks to stack towers of blocks.
Click on a block to select it, and then use the left and right arrows to roll a block. I've solved the first fourteen levels, so leave a comment if you want a walkthrough one of these.
