Minimalist Bubble Blower | Submitted by costik on Thu, 05/15/2008 - 01:06. |
A simple, clean little game, Floating Light is a level-based Flash title in which you must blow a bubble to each level's exit, avoiding the walls (which pop the bubble). You blow by moving your mouse pointer (an arrow), clicking the button to exhale, as it were.
Very simple structure, but curiously engaging, and a nice minimalist/ambient musical score. Scads of levels, and should you run out, there's always Floaty Light 2.
Avalanche is simply the best web-game I've ever played. You know how Diablo took the hack-n-slash mechanic, distilled it, then put it to an endless field of beautiful stochastic patterns, dungeons and bosses and special weapons? Avalanche does the same, in a simpler way, to platforming. You control what appears to be a block of tofu; you can move left and right, you can jump, and most importantly you can hang-slide down vertical surfaces and jump off them, like a tofu ninja (perhaps recalling memories of that secret mode in Resident Evil 2, speed-running with a knife, a sentiment not removed from hardcore play of Avalanche). You've got an endless torrent of blocks, big and small with trivial color variations, coming down from the sky, and an ocean of red liquid rising beneath. Get as high as you can without getting crushed or touching the liquid.

Reminds me of a game I played on the gameboy back in the day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_Ghost
Nice little game
Only problem is when the bubble is close to the edge of the screen and there's not much room for the mouse pointer. A few times I accidentally clicked outside of the flash box, leading to frustrated popping! I do like the simple style though.
