Tom and Jerry Xmas Gifts

 Tom and Jerry. These two numskulls never got along(mostly). Day after day, Thomas would lay in wait over that little mouse only to be double-crossed by Jerry's indigenous maneuvers. At times, even Spike succumbed to his very own instincts. But nothing compared to the rivalry of these two rascals. Though there were a few exceptions.

 Tonight is one of those occasions. You see, a thief has broke into the local orphanage and stolen all the children's gifts. Despite their long standing contract, Tom and Jerry made a pact to put aside differences for one night and volunteer to deliver Christmas presents to those less fortunate. Only one thing stands in their way-an unfrozen river!

 This channel is only a few degrees above freezing. Luckily, a dover of ducks have opted to aid you getting across the frigid stream. As the little mouse, you must hop upon the ducklings backs(using the Arrow Keys) with present in hand until you've reached the other side. Tom will load the sleigh with each gift you fetch him. 

 But I must warn you. These geese have short attention spans. As soon as they spot a savory goldfish, down to the depths they go, leaving you to drown within the icy waters. So you must allow yourself some extra time and keep your eyes pinned at all times. These kids are counting on you two to save Xmas. Then after a job well-done, you can come back to your petty squabbles again!

Review of Tom and Jerry Xmas Gifts

 In no time does this game get quite challenging as those aquatic birds mercilessly dart for a snack. The music is very festive over the tinkling of magical bells. Despite lacking in overall interactivity, I find this Christmas gem worth your five minutes!

Cube Crush Christmas Edition

 Starting today, I will be reviewing various Christmas flash games on my blog. First on the list comes a quaint online matching game(by Gregor Haag) quite reminiscent of the candy crush saga. Only instead of treats, we're matching three or more Xmas bulbs til the board is mostly clear.

 There is a Classic(free mode) and a Timed mode(baubles get refilled but you only get 25 secs). All you'll be needing this evening is a keen mind to spot and click the bulbs with the greatest match cluster. That means no click-spamming to rush toward the next level(rush clicking will get you penalized). Scoring certain quotas will unlock new achievements. Knock yourselves out!

 This game will surly get you into the holiday spirit with a well-done rendition to The Nutcracker Suit caroling in the background(Thanks to Kevin MacLeod). The graphics are quite festive as well. So if your into cube crush but prefer there to be a seasonal flair nestled within, then Christmas Crush has got you covered!

Cut the Rope

 Meet Om Num. Just your ordinary green monster who inhabits standard UPS boxes across the world. This little critter craves only the best candy money could buy. Only on problem. He can't move one inch! That's where you come in.

 Within each course lays a scrumptious piece of caramel candy suspended on a string. You must strategically cut the rope so that the caramel candy ball lands in his mouth. Be sure to use every device in your disposal to maneuver this treat to collect three stars within each stage. Accumulating certain amounts will open new boxes jam-packed with new levels and more physics-bending obstacles! Each box contains 25 courses to satisfy the goobers appetite.

Cut The Rope Review

  Om Num has become a candy-crunching physics-based phenomenon within the online gaming arena! He's even got a cartoon and a downloadable sequel which you can find Here! I find this flash edition well-executed with standard graphics and succinct animation. My only complaint is a few intrusive ads between various levels. Otherwise Cut The Rope is an excellent strategy puzzler that'll boggle your brain!

What Do We Do Now?

 What do we do now? Well, follow our instincts. Or as they say "just follow the signs. There's always a way out of a dilemma". But then what?

 Let Sean McKenzie guide you with subtle hints and clues in his turn-key point-and-click physics puzzler. Just toggle that mouse in-hand and figure out these urban riddles just aching to get solved.

 Gameplay is short and sweet. Very simple and poignet. With squeaky-clean graphics and drawtastic 2.0 animation. The game leaves just as abruptly as it started. But hopefully, Sean has some more surprises in store. Yet for now there's nothing we can do except follow him on Twitter!

Water Village-Holland

 The Netherlands has just been ransacked by a massive drought of historic proportions. H2O is running out fast. Many ships have been observed aground upon what once was a thriving bay or lake. Cows who once graced the land are now gauntly skeletal. The prime Minister has just mandated that the country's canal system be expanded to allow the North Sea to irrigate the land. Holland's largest river project yet-since the 17th Century. His proposals also include installing machinery to convert salt water into sweet water-a process commonly referred to as reverse osmosis.

 And so the Province of Holland has commissioned you to extract whatever is left of the water supply and furnish the farmers and villagers with the most basic element to life. I'm sure pirates would love to get soaked but try not to drown the villagers. There are many tools at your disposal. You must water the land as fast and efficiently as possible to accumulate a high score. Who knows the pirates might even give you a hand.

Water Village-Holland Review

 As with the other two installments, you will find the same great strategy to the Holland Edition. The main difference in this episode is the music and theme. If you are looking for a 15-30 minute strategy-builder to fart around with, then you might need to allow more time to get used to this!

Where Is 2013?

 Everything was just business as usual. Another time to make New Years Resolutions. Another night to watch The Twilight Zone Marathon-with a whole stash of goodies at your disposal. All is what it should have been.

 Suddenly, it was 11:55 P.M. Time to flip the station to Dick Clark! Anxiously, you watch as the ball glistens atop Time square. Many gasp in suspense as the clock ticks. Then the countdown begins!...

 Instantly, everything shuts down. All vehicles, electrical, and battery-operated appliances dwindle into oblivion! Maybe the Mayans were right after all. The apocalypse is here! Mankind must adapt or forever face extinction.

 The Government has chosen you to decipher the code of Earth's magnetic field. For they have discovered that the lay-lines have been out of sync with the planet's axis of rotation. So is is up to you to restore balance to this terrestrial ball and ring in 2013!

 Use your curser to find and find and store items in your inventory. You must restore 3 lay-lines to bring the world back on it's feet and to uncover the true culprit behind all this. Civilization is counting on you. Nay...2013 is counting on you!

Where Is 2013? Review

 With crisp sound-effects and surreal imagery, Matt has delivered another winner! The only complaint coming from me is the lack of puzzles to solve which make the game a bit too short. But other then that little quip, I am in love with his knack to turn the ordinary into virtually gorgeous scenery! That my friends keeps this solidly at 5 stars!

Not To Scale

 Puzzles are amazing things. Ever since their inception by John Spilsbury, no one could get enough of them. In order to bait more customers, the newspaper soon enough engrafted this art of logic into their subscription bases. The magazine then caught on right away.

 Just what is it that fascinates us with these problem-solving gimmicks? Is it our sense of accomplishment. Or would have to do with our sense of pride? Or just maybe the satisfaction of figuring out the world about us?

 Whatever the reason "Not To Scale" is sure to satiate each motive! Just sit back and let the music move those brain cells to unscramble each scene set before you. And do trust me when I say it gets tougher after awhile! Just hang in there, the solution could be right under your nose!

 With some life-like graphics and an outstanding orchestra, this pixilated work of art is sure to not only woo you but make you think! Despite it's challenging premise, I'm sure everyone will eventually come around to it!

But for now, go your way and play "Not To Scale"!

Da Vinci Cannon

 Ever visualize what a physics puzzler would look like in the 16th Century? How about one based from that era when Da Vinci did his masterpieces? Well Egoshin Alexy has got you covered on the Medieval battle field.

 Today is the day to be devil's advocate. As emperor, you are free to conquer the whole continent of Europe. Even if it means witnessing little people squealing in agony.

 In the menu bar below, set the angle of your artillery and click away to fire at your nemesis(who basically does nothing by the way). There are approximately 20 levels scattered abroad five different countries. As an added challenge, aim for a high score(on top of the bare minimum).

Da Vinci Cannon Review

 Although a bit too simple for seasoned gamers, Da Vinci Cannon offers a refreshing alternative to those not looking for a growling challenge-an exciting hands-on approach to the vineyards of the Middle ages.

 In addition, each level might become a little mundane and repetitive. However, the exquisite graphical design and addictive interaction quickly make up for these blemishes.

Ratings: 4.6 Stars!
