I downloaded Dwarf Fortress, I opened the interface, and immediately gave up. It would have to be the best game in the world for me to put the effort into figuring that out. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

Am I a terrible person for having played all of these at least once?

| I'm actually playing through all of these right now. So far, the best one is Coma, and the worst is Doodle God. Seriously, what is the point of that game? |

Doodle God is a joke.

"Creepily" is annoying with that one part and the two monsters who kill you instantly.

My favorite one is http://www.rrrrthats5rs.com/games/dont-shoot-the-puppy/ - Don't Shoot The Puppy. It's surprisingly difficult. Also, thank you Henry for posting a bunch of ridiculously addictive games that are now sucking up all my free time and ruining my life.  -------------

I'm sure it's happened, but I don't remember ever beating a flash game. They're always so damn long unless you have inhuman reflexes. I got stuck on the level immediately after you lose the ability to walk left. I could have beaten it, but who has the time? Doodle God plays on our stupid human brains. Getting one is a reward, so we must get ALL OF THEM. For those who prefer their games to be infinite, http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/529110 - this is pretty awesome . I got to 4600 meters, I could have gone longer but I missed the invincibility powerup.

Flash games numb the misery of my unemployed existence. http://www.kongregate.com/games/glimajr/continuity - This is the best one I've played all year. A perfect mix of puzzle and platform. http://armorgames.com/play/2893/achievement-unlocked - This is a brilliant satire of the stupid 'achievement' system of a lot of modern games. In my day you only needed one goal - save the princess, get the highscore. Nowadays you haven't won a game until you've unlocked fifty different hats and found every pointless hidden shiny thing in every flippin' level. Bah. Finally, http://www.kongregate.com/games/TheGameHomepage/red-remover - this is the most fun you can have without actually having any fun. I have no idea how I've managed to maintain a meaningful relationship with a lady for the last five years. |

Lol, Josh has no life. Trouser, I already linked Continuity in the OP! I meant to link Achievement Unlocked but I forgot, so here's http://armorgames.com/play/6561/achievement-unlocked-2 - Achievement Unlocked 2 . The red game is fun, there's a game like that on the iPhone/ipod touch but that version is better.

| Oh, and before I forget, http://gamejolt.com/online/games/platformer/specter-spelunker-shrinks/1865/ - this is an absolute belter. It's amazing to think it took so long for someone to come up with such a brilliantly simple yet utterly revolutionary idea for a platformer. |
