SLACKERJACK: Ninja Run

by Stuart Heritage

Remember Canabalt? Of course you do – every third online game at the moment is a variation of it. Well here’s the bad news – Ninja Run is also a variation of Canabalt. But here’s the good news – it’s got NINJAS in it. And the ninjas THROW THINGS! That’s right, instead of Canabalt‘s simple [...]

SLACKERJACK: World Cup Penalty Shoot-Out

by Stuart Heritage

Now this is just cool. Penalty shoot-outs. Multiplayer penalty shoot-outs. Across the internet. World Cup Penalty Shoot-Out is brilliant. All the thrill of a real World Cup penalty shoot-out without the knowledge that your house will be torched by someone with no sense of perspective if you miss. What’s more, apparently if you’re really good [...]

SLACKERJACK: Crush The Castle 2

by Stuart Heritage

As regular readers will know, we prefer knocking stuff down to building it up. And that’s why Crush The Castle games hold our attention like no other. But, even by Crush The Castle standards, Crush The Castle 2 is amazing. Why? In a word, weaponry. You’re not just confined to balls here – this time [...]

SLACKERJACK: Faultline

by Stuart Heritage

As most of you will have realised by now, online games are basically just variations on about three or four set original games. New just doesn’t happen very often. But Faultline? Faultline is new. The aim isn’t in any way original – get your little man from one side of the level to another – [...]

SLACKERJACK: I Heart Panda

by Stuart Heritage

Remember that game the other day where you evolved some maggots until they could kill things? Well I Heart Panda is the exact opposite of that game. I Heart Panda is adorable. It’s just like Bloons or any of those other games – you win when you’ve hit a certain number of targets with a [...]

Top Five Tower Defence Games

by Hilary Wardle

The problem with writing about flash-based tower defence games is that they’re very… hang on a minute. I have to go and beat my top score on Cursed Treasure: those peasants won’t shoot arrows into themselves, you know. Oh great, I can upgrade my Fire Temple now… aha! Fry, scabby jewel thieves! Oops. Sorry about [...]

SLACKERJACK: Unnatural Selection

by Stuart Heritage

Ever have a wormery? No, us neither. But never mind, we can make up for our parents’ lack of worm-related gifts with Unnatural Selection. It’s more or less the same as having a wormery, with the added benefit that the worms can mutate really quickly. Stick them in the dirt and they become bugs. Throw [...]

SLACKERJACK: Destructo-Truck

by Stuart Heritage

God in heaven but this is a game. The first time we played Destructo-Truck, we dedicated close to four hours to it. We’re not lying. We wish we were. All Destructo-Truck does is let you fire a truck off a ramp to see how many buildings you can destroy. But the upgrades are so wonderful, [...]

SLACKERJACK: Vehicles

by Stuart Heritage

Remember that Pixar film Cars? The cars in Vehicles cure do look a lot like the cars in Cars. But this isn’t Cars. This is Vehicles. Are you following this? Good. In Vehicles, you there are some vehicles. It’s your job to shunt some of the vehicles off the screen with other vehicles while trying [...]
