Favorite Flash Games #2

So we're posting our favorite flash games, I had a tough time narrowing this down but one game that I have consistently come back to is Dolphin Olympics 2 by Alan Rawkins. It sounds weird, I know, let me explain.

Dolphin Olympics 2 is one of those games that is so ridiculously simple but also so addictive, you have to keep coming back to it. You've got two minutes to do flips out of the water. Hitting rings gives you a boost of speed, and the more flips you do the more points you get. That's it.



In my opinion it really has a lot of what makes a great flash game. Intuitive, addictive, and easy to play in small doses. Once you play it once you'll play it again.

Favorite Flash Games #1

Let's post links to our favorite Flash games, and talk about them for a bit. I'll go first!

My pick is Sean Coopers Boxhead: The Zombie Wars. It's an action game from a isometric perspective, allowing players to wander around the map in two dimensions. Boxy zombies spawn from each side (based on the design of the map) that you can kill with a variety of weapons. Your selection of weapons is upgraded as you kill more zombies, but the zombies grow in quantity and complexity as the game goes on. Eventually the player is swarmed and dies, but not until a lot of zombie blood has been spilled.



What The Zombie Wars brings to the Boxhead franchise (which also contains the spectacular Boxhead: 2Play Rooms) is base building. Through a combination of explosive barrels, barricades and turrets, you can construct a base to help kill off zombies. This adds a new layer of strategy to the Boxhead games, making The Zombie Wars my favorite entry in the franchise.

Boxhead: The Zombie Wars is a wonderfully addictive game that combines visceral action with tactical know-how. A must-play for anyone who likes action games or zombies. And everyone likes zombies.
