Another Friday, another week, and still we don't have houses on the moon or flying cars! Some new decade this is turning out to be. Why not cheer yourself up with tiny dragons, racing hounds, or gears? This week's Link Dump Friday has it all... provided your definition of "all" is a limited selection of five games.

If you're searching for a fun and chipper exploration game to kill a little time with, good for you! Searching is one of the key components of exploration games, so you're already off to a good start. After that, the fun is in what you do with what you find. In Little Rocket, you get to explore a small universe AND solve puzzles along the way! Aren't two-for-one bonuses lovely?

My lil sister got a pen tablet for Christmas. I have a Macbook, and it came with Adobe Photoshop Elements. And honestly? Its better than nothing! I have PS 3 and all that jazz, but ONLY for PCs ATM. I'm buying an iMac sometime this year. But I have installed PSE on my Macbook, and last night I made this:
Just as a test to see how the program works and whatnot. And well, it's easy as usual! I was using a very VERY outdated program before (b/c CS3 wouldn't work on my Dell, b/c it's a twat). So I just had to refresh my memory. THIS MEANS I'M BACK TO MAKIN' GRAPHICS. It's been awhile, but now that I actually have a program, I can get back to doing things.
Thanks to all for being patient with this. I'm working almost every day, which leaves little time, but hopefully that will be dying down soon. I can't seem to recover half the graphics I did, so it seems I'll have to start overand throw my Dell out of the window during the process.

Not quite a pipe puzzle and not quite a gear puzzle, Grayscale is a melding of the two genres into something both unique to play and easy on the eyes. The difficulty ramps up quite nicely and is enough to hold interest through the levels as you struggle to produce the black and white fireworks that denote success. Quite a lot of brain twisting, turning, and teasing bundled up into a beautiful little bow. Tagged as: browser, fhimsl, flash, free, game, komix, macwinlinux, maze, physics, puzzle, rating-g, unique

What do you when you have a yen for some online puzzle platformer fun, but find that no one game will satisfy your itch? Why not try three puzzle platformers at once? Paradox Embrace, by Zeebarf and Steve Castro, provides exactly that. The trick is in switching between 3 distinct game-worlds, achieved by activating pedestal-mounted "changers".

Robamimi rarely disappoints and the New Who Am I? is no exception. A little shorter than usual for Robamimi's work, but nonetheless lots of casual gameplay fun is here to be had. Perfect for a short break, most gamers will find themselves out in ten minutes or less. It's worth playing just for the final puzzle. After all, how many room escape games (spoiler alert!) require you to bribe your way out? Tagged as: browser, escape, flash, free, game, japanese, macwinlinux, pointandclick, rating-g, robamimi

The godfather of 3D shooters, 1995's Quake, takes a leap out of monster-infested dimensions and into your web browser. And it's surprisingly well-done, despite the control limitations imposed by Flash. Tagged as: action, browser, classic, flash, fps, free, game, macwinlinux, rating-o

In space, nobody can hear you scream. But that doesn't stop you from tearing around, blowing up other ships, and slapping their debris onto your rig before running away from some angry bogeys flying in on your six. When a sleep-deprived pilot puts you in charge of his ship, you have to navigate the depths of Captain Forever, fighting other pilots for pieces of their ships to build the meanest spacecraft on the galactic block. Engage in your ultimate build-a-space-ship-from-stealing-other-p

Based on the classic short story by Edgar Allan Poe, delve deep into the heart of Paris as you track down a brutal killer alongside one of fiction's most influential detectives. While it may not be as challenging as some veteran gamers might like, this is still a gorgeously rendered hidden object game, and a lot of fun, with just the right amount of... monkey business?

Once in a while a game comes along that, well, you don't really know how to describe. Great Adventures: Lost in Mountains is one of those games. Designed by Fenomen Games, Great Adventures is advertised as a time management game. Actually, it's more like a casual sim. No, it's more like a point and click adventure with casual sim and time management elements. But really, it plays like a room escape game with RPG and hidden object elements. See? Difficult to describe. Basically, all of the above is incorporated to make one wildly fun, inventive game.

Have fun wandering in all directions, back and forth, up and down, and see what you can find. It's amazing what can be packed into such a small space and there's lots to see and do before it's all over. Atmospheric, moody, and yet surprisingly cute while simultaneously sending a chill down your spine, Where is 2010? is a perfect way to start the new year right.

To celebrate the passing of a year (and of a decade), Joe, Dora and John sat down around a cozy fireplace, sipped some sort of expensive kind of drinks we couldn't even pronounce, let alone afford (it was hot cider), and had a nice little chat about the year behind and the year ahead. How was 2009 for casual games? What does 2010 promise? We don't know. But we sure sound like we do! Tagged as: blog, podcast
