Fun Flash Games

Whether in search for a few minutes of fun during those long hours in school, or you’re just looking for some games that don’t require too much fuss to install, flash games are a very fun and quick solution to your problems.

I’m going to tell you about my personal top three flash games at the moment. Of course, this classification changes in time for me, as I discover new flash games or rediscover old flash friends.

Occupying the number three position in my book is the hot new sensation Angry Birds. For those who don’t really know what this game is about, the idea is simple and found in everyday life… more or less. Some pigs stole some wingless birds’ eggs, and now these birds are really annoyed. You could even say that they are angry. Thus, they decide to manufacture a giant slingshot and throw themselves into the castles where the pigs live in. It’s a Crush the Castle sort of game, to be concise. Second place is occupied by a survival type of game, called The Last Stand. There is also a The Last Stand 2, but the idea is similar: you are one of the lucky survivors in a zombie filled world and during the night, these creatures attack your barricades. During the day, you must use your time wisely to repair your weapons, buy new ones and search for survivors. It may seem like a simple idea, but it’s a really addictive game. Or, maybe I’m just a sucker for shooting zombies.

First place is occupied by a game inspired by that “Kids Next Door” cartoon. The idea behind this game is simple and addictive: for some reason, some hamsters wanted to fly a really long distance; so, five furry volunteers line up and, with the help of three other such rodents they launch into the sky and try to stay there as long as possible by picking up hamster balls to bounce them off the ground, rockets to speed them up and other thingamagigs.
