Computer Games

Need some good sites for computer games? Try these out!

Ferry Halim - This website has dozens of games to play that are fun and addictive. Try my first favorite The Amazing Dare Dozen, the hauntingly beautiful Constellations, or the extremely frustrating Cats. Stupid cats.

CLOP - Use the HJKL keys to try to get a unicorn to run. Sounds easy right? Riiiiiight...

This Is Sand - Click on that link, and you'll just be looking at a blank gray screen. Lame. Or is it? Double click and see what happens. :)

Color - Think you know color? Try this game! It's really fun!

Incredibox - Like music? Conduct your own a capella beatbox vocal group. Add dudes to your band and assign them effects, beats, and vocals. Take guys away, bring in more, and craft a killer composition.

Draw a Stickman - Or, if you like to draw, try this game and see what kind of trouble you can get a stickman (or woman) into!

Factory Balls - This is a tough one! Paint a ball to look like the one on the box - harder than it sounds!

QWOP - You thought CLOP was tough? Oh dear...

GIRP - This time you're a rock climber. Good luck!
