Line Rider

http://www.linerider.org/play.php



- Line Rider front page, looks good by keeping it simple and keeping it within the theme of the game.




- The user is instructed to draw a line from top left to bottom right. Once pressed 'done' the rider rides along the line that the user drew.



- I really like this game, the fact the user has to think about the lines and how steep to draw them makes the game more fun. The rider easily falls and gains speed in places where the lines are drawn straight and downwards.

Neave

http://www.neave.com/



- Welcome to the playground of one Mr Paul Neave, serial Flash fettler and interactive designer. Paul says hello. Hello! < lol



- Audio/Visual tells you to play music and then allowing the flash player to access the microphone you then watch the shapes move with the music and reacting to the volume. This screen shot shows quiet music.



- This one shows loud music! Clicking the screen changes the shapes and the colours change automatically.



- My favourite part of Neave is Imagination. Paul writes that he forgot to do some so for us to show him ours and moving the mouse then creates and drawing tool which the user can make a new look for the screen. The markings change colour and thickness then slowly disappear.

Sissy Fight

http://www.sissyfight.com/


- SissyFight is a game/chat room were users play as school girls fighting strategically on a play ground.


- The user can choose the name, face and hair style for their fighter and use it to earn points fighting on the playground. With options like: scratch, tease and cower sissy fight gives several options to keep the user entertained.



- Users use the chat room part of the game to make friends and gang up on others in order to have a bigger chance in winning. The site is full of regulars. Teams are formed and things get very competitive which makes it harder for new members.



- I really liked playing sissyfight but it does take time to actually get in a fight, most people want to wait for the room to get ful in order to earn more points by beating up more people. Leader boards such as 'most points' and 'most addicted' keep people going back and making their fighter earn more points.

Orisinal

http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/


- Front page includes the small squares which represent a game. No other way of telling the games apart other than that square which i like. Uses nice, soft colours all the same shade.




- Bugs! I love this game! The user has to hold down the mouse to create a bubble, the longer you hold, the bigger the bubble.




- When the user lets go the little girl jumps and the bubble bursts around her making whatever ladybugs in that area fly away.









- Fire Dragon! Front page again uses simple colours, doesnt crowd any text or images making the user want to play the game. Really good game simply because it is nice to look at. The user has to do more than one task which makes the game more interesting.






- The user controls the dragon using the mouse to make him walk left and right, clicking the mouse makes the dragon fire, fire balls to hit the ice filled with apples. The user has to then collect the apples while the floor is rising making it harder to fire at the ice cubes.

Pong 4D

http://www.yomgaille.com/pong/



- Pong 4D front screen.








- Choice of 4 players, each user gets givin 2 letters on the keyboard to control their bar.










- Fast paced so keeps the user interested. Keeps score on how many times you hit the ball and how many times you miss.

Squares 2

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/squares2.php


- Squares 2 game front page, plays fast music. Includes help page.






- The user has the black square following the mouse to collect as many other black squares as possible. Game over if the user touches a red square and the circles give extra points or helps you by slowing down the game.



- Very fast paced, each game can only last seconds so the user doesn't get bored and is kept entertained.

Soda Play

http://www.sodaplay.com/index.htm


- Menu page allows you to pick from several squares called 'the zoo', each square then takes you to the 'SodaConstucter' screen (as seen below) where the user can construct, simulate, change gravity and the speed.



- 'daintywalker' slowly walks accross the screen until you click on and move one of its 'joints'.




- Moves in the same direction in which you pull the joints. Will do anything and gets tangled up and can break.



- 'Construct mode', the user can use the mouse to build or make any picture, placing the joints and changing the gravity and speed to suit the design. Once 'simulate' is pressed the user can then interact with the picture they just made, pulling the joints and changing the shape.

Noodle Box

www.play-create.com/pieces/noodlebox/noodlebox.html


- Menu screen allows you to visit different rooms of the two buildings. A rollover message tells you what rooms you have already visited.


- Pairs game, click mouse to turn over cards, match two and they disappear. No reward when completed the game :(



- Light up ball thing. User can interact with the ball by clicking and dragging, lights move with the ball but pointless.

Studio Tonne

http://www.studiotonne.com/
http://www.mute.com/distract/noisetoy/index.html

- Studio Tonne front page, the three creators recorded their reactions to eating different foods. The user can scroll through the videos and click on the ones they want to see. Can compare how the 3 react differently.



- Noise Toy is an interactive music maker which allows the user to make up different tunes with a variety of noises. The user has to click on the boxes to add and take away noises they want to use. The sound plays throughout so you can hear what you are doing whilst messing about with the boxes.
