Out On A Limb.

GAMES.
Yeah, I haven't posted in a while. Sorry. Here's something to play with to keep you distracted. 2 things, even.

First of all, a game where success will cost you an arm and a leg, literally. It's called Pursuit Of Hat and your protagonist is a cheerful looking blobby fella with detachable limbs. He desperately wants his fetching purple bowler hat back and you'll need to rip off and reattach bits of yourself in order to do it. For such a stomach-churning sounding concept, it's all very sweet. Give it a shot:

Secondly, an old internet stalwart; Ninjas. They're everywhere on the world wide web, the stealthy blighters. Where are they all coming from? Where do they learn their skills? Well, I'll tell you! Sticky Ninja Academy, that's where. This is a physics-y game involving flinging a ninja about, making him stick to walls, knock out other, presumably evil ninjas and nab some precious gold before making it to the exit. This is good, solid fun and the way your li'l assassin goes into a flying kick pose whenever thrown is just adorable.

There you go, fill your virtual boots. See you next time.

Get Your Ninj On.

Another update in a cool series of games today. In this case: Bowja the Ninja 3. First plinked back in May '08. Huh, and spazzing back through the archive has just made me realise that I didn't post when Bowja 2 came out so you can have that too!

To recap, it's a point & click style game. You need to progress through the scenarios by finding the right object to click and in the right order. It's very slickly designed and dashed fun to boot. So, here goes!

Bowja 3: Ninja Kami.

Ninjaronimo!

Of all the overused internet cliché groups, I have to say that I prefer robots, vikings and pirates to ninjas. However! There are some cool flash games that feature them. The best of them all is N, which I previously thought had been taken off the web so that the maker could flog the pay-to-play version but no! Anyway, this one, despite featuring a stick man as the lead ninja, is pretty much all you could want from a ninja game, it requires quick reactions, expert timing and an element of stealth. It's all about stealing as much gold as you can and getting to the exit before the time runs out (grabbing gold replenishes time for whatever reason) and without getting electrocuted or blown to bits! Anyway, enough talk. Just Play the damn thing!
