Top 3 Flash Games Of All Time

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

There are literally thousands of free Flash games all over the Internet, and while there are some true gems in there, many of them are poorly designed and dull. Well fret no more, here are three of the best Flash games of all time – and they are all free!

1. Crush The Castle. As if it wasn’t hard enough choosing a handful of great games for a list like this, I had to pick on game to be FIRST on that list! Well, after a lot of deliberation I finally decided… that the order didn’t matter so I chose this one at random. Crush the Castle is extremely simple (as most great games are) yet is extremely well executed, highly addictive, and great fun. Your aim, as the title suggests, is to knock down a “castle” (collection of girders, planks and people!) using a trebuchet.

The controls couldn’t be simpler – press the mouse button once to fire, and a second time to release (aiming is done by timing the swing). As you progress through the levels you’ll get more advanced ammo such as bigger rocks and bombs, and you’ll need to carefully choose the right ammo to strategically defeat some of the later levels. When you eventually manage to get through every level don’t fret, there is a sequel known as the “players pack” which gives you a ton of new castles to try your skills against!

2. Bloons. This is another great game, with very simple but addictive gameplay. Your aim is to burst balloons by throwing darts at them, and while that sounds easy the devilish level designs mean that it takes immense skill and judgement to beat all 50 levels of the game.

As you’d expect your darts are limited, and the balloons are positioned in such a way that you need to use careful tactics to complete each level. As the levels progress you’ll have to contend with special types of balloon, walls, bouncing walls and more. However you also get some help along the way, with extra darts, boomerangs and even a pacman! Enjoy!

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.

Doesn’t sound like much fun does it? Well believe me, it is! You see the joy of playing this game comes from watching the clever animations of the cube, and how your additions affect the outcome. For example, add a man to the cube and he runs around, digging holes, chopping down trees, moving objects etc. Add water and the little man digs himself a swimming pool, and a river, but add things in the wrong order and it goes horribly wrong! You’ll never appreciate a game like this by reading about it – so go play it, and leave a comment telling me if you think it was worthy of being on this list or not!
