Every Extend

It’s been a while since I posted a “Monday Break”, so I’d like to get back into the swing by bringing you Every Extend – a free, fun, single-button game with what appears to be a Japanese origin. I could easily see something like this doing well on the Blackberry or iPhone.

Monday Break: Free Comic Books from Marvel

Not so much a game, but it is marginally flash-oriented: Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited offers free issues of select titles every Monday)

Monday Break: Powder

I know I’ve shared this one before on other blogs, but Powder is a classic that keeps getting better – the code has had several updates since the last time I linked to it on a blog, and it’s exactly the style of “free-form play” that I find so compelling – there’s really no “Story”, no “Objective”...all that is expected of you is to have fun!

Monday Break: Ballistic Wars

Ballistic Wars is like a better version of that ancient classic “Marbles” – very addictive.

Fantastic Contraption

I can do simple math! This was supposed to automatically publish Monday morning for this week’s “Monday Break”, but I set the publish date to 2009-10-20 instead of 2008-10-20…oops!

Anywhere, here’s the awesomely addictive physics simulator Fantastic Contraption

Monday Break: Gemcraft

Like Randall Munroe, I’m a big fan of “casual gaming”. So I’m going to post a new “casual Flash game” every Monday in the section “Monday Break”. This week, I bring you the masterpiece Gemcraft. It took me about a month to work my way through with all the levels having highlighted frames. Enjoy!
