I’ve talked before about the kids virtual world called WebbliWorld that myself and the Aardman Digital team built. Well it’s been an extremely busy 4th quarter for us as we’ve been releasing hundreds of in-world updates, as well as producing a really excellent racing game called WebbliRacers:

So, picture this. You’re lounging on the beach, wearing your special lounging overalls, thinking about how great it is that nobody has rammed an enormous ship into your island recently… when some jerk rams his enormous ship into the island! As if that weren’t bad enough, the hull cracks open and before you know it, you’re elbow-deep in smiling pineapples, green-legs-and-ham, and screaming… blue… mole… things! Clearly, this will not do, and the king demands that you saddle up to defend the land! It’s a game of reflexes and good old fashioned arcade action in Super Sloth Bomber!
Oh, did we not mention you’re a sloth? We thought that would have been obvious.
Control your trusty balloon with the [arrow] or [WASD] keys and drop bombs with the [spacebar]. If an enemy is close enough, you’ll blow them to that great big dancing ham graveyard in the sky. Some enemies require more than one bomb to destroy, while others appear on a timer or move in a unique pattern. You can keep track of them with the onscreen radar. Not only will you have to be quick to catch them all, you’ll have to keep an eye on your time and the number of bombs you have left. Run out of either and you’ll be one sad little sloth, and all the eucalyptus in the world won’t be enough to lift your spirits.

Telegraph is one of the most popular sites in the United Kingdom and ranked 279 worldwide according to Alexa (better than USA Today), so we can say it’s a quite an authority.
Some days ago it published an article about the best 20 Flash internet games.
Do you expect another chart seeing Bloons at the top? Big surprise, it isn’t in the list.
Let’s see what British casual gamers like:
1 – Doom Triple Pack

This should bring back some good memories from the original Doom, Hexen, and Heretic games. Doom Triple pack is a direct port of the original games using Adobe Alchemy to convert the C code to actionscript.
I should give a try to Alchemy… any open source C game around there?

“Welcome subject 7.” With those chilling words begins a new room escape adventure series by talented Portuguese designer Fausto Fonseca. Welcome to the Light Asylum! At least, welcome to the first two rooms.
You are (apparently) a mental patient in a rather odd facility who would rather be, well, anywhere but there. A disembodied voice will inform you — via text — that you must escape five rooms, starting with this one. Oh, and failure means death. No pressure there. But, the voice goes on to reassure you, this is the easy room. Oh, goody. Of course then you have to worry about the next room.
Navigation through the space is easily accomplished with arrows appearing around the edges of the screen. There is no changing cursor, so you will have to click around some to find the hotspots for close ups. Find objects that will help you solve the logic puzzle that allows you to… well, not escape, but move on to the next room.

“Multiplayer RTS Flash Game!”
COLONY FLASH GAME – Not a relatively new game, but wow, this flash endeavor is one of those games that push the frontier. It was released in July, but the commotion over the game still hasn’t quite died yet.
Created by Krin of ArmorGames, one of the developers behind the hit game Sonny 2. Colony obviously derives its inspiration from the likes of starcraft, especially in its art and design.
Colony also plays in the style of games like Age of War (MaxGames) and WarFare 1944 (ArmorGames) and is reminiscent of mainstream RTS games such as Command and Conquer. Graphics are superbly and clean, and action can get very frantic when alot of objects are on screen.
