Online Games


Leo Steel Probably the simplest game to play. It only uses the up arrow key. The aim of the game is to collect as much gold as possible and not die by smashing into anything. The good things are that it's very easy to use and does not slow your computer. The bad things are you can't pause it and sometimes Leo doesn't jump as soon as you press the up button, resulting in him smashing into something and losing a life; and it requires the latest flash player.

Fill It
This game involves flying a plane around a black box trying to fill it up with blue and avoiding getting hit by the birds. Its good points: it's very fun, very easy and very addictive. Its bad points: sometimes it doesn't load and the links don't work (we tried our hardest to post a good one) and sometimes the birds go too fast.

Bubble Trouble
This game is relatively difficult if you don't have the hang of it. Once you do, it's pretty good. The game has a different tye dye background for each level. The aim of the game is to make all the on screen bubbles disappear without being hit by them. You do this by shooting at them and they divide into smaller bubbles, until disappearing entirely. The good thing is that you can play in one or two player mode. The bad thing is that not only do you have to avoid being hit by the bubbles, you also have to shoot them all in a time limit.

Dinorun
Dinorun is very similar to Leo Steel, except you have to make the Dinosaur run and collect eggs instead of gold. You must avoid falling down trenches or being crushed in a tunnel collapse. The good thing is that it's easy to play. The bad thing is that whilst it is very similar to Leo Steel, it's less fun to play.

Copter
At first glance this looks like it will be similar to Escape and Fill It. It's much more difficult and less fun. The aim is to fly the helicopter through a tunnel. You press the left mouse button to go up and release it to go down. You can't go too far up or down in case you hit the top or bottom, and there are little blocks in the Its good point: The technique is easy. Its bad point: The controls are very annoying and difficult.

Red Beard
The aim of Red Beard is to collect the 15 gold balls, one at the end of each level. You use three controllers, right arrow key, left arrow key and space bar. The good thing is that if you lose all your lives you can start again at the level you last lost at. The bad things are if you fall a certain way you die instantly, and the little beads you use to control the moving platforms are quite annoying.

Bloons
The object of Bloons is to shoot all the balloons on screen with a dart. The number and arrangement of balloons varies, along with the number of darts you have. The good things are that it's easy to master and you can create your own levels for other people to play. The bad thing is that when the dart misses that one balloon you needed to win the level.

Bejeweled Blitz
This game involves having a grid of shapes. You switch the shapes around to get three in a row. If you get four in a row you get a special shape that gets extra points. Its good points is that it's fun, addictive and somewhat strategic. Its bad points are that it is only available on facebook. Also, you have a one minute time limit which starts counting down before you can start playing.
Tara:6/10

Escape
In the case of Escape, looks are very deceiving. What looks like a simple game is probably the most difficult. You must move the red square around and not get hit by the moving blue squares, which speed up every ten seconds. We have not yet made it past 15 seconds. Its good points is that it's very simple, very addictive and quick to load. Its bad point is that I don't believe it's possible to win.

Highest Score: Fill It (20/20)
