  • Link Dump FridayLink Dump Friday —November 20, 2009— Link Dump Friday is here again, to put a song in your heart, a twinkle in your eye, and a new batch of games in your hot little hands. Featuring precious cargo, 3D platforming, rodents, and more, it's the Link Dump-iest day of the week, and all for you!
  • What You SeeWhat You See —November 19, 2009— In What You See, a new point-and-click puzzle game, sometimes what you see isn't what you get. Just follow the instructions for each level, trying to figure out what they mean and then performing the action(s) required. It's a bit like a classic riddle game, but with a large dose of pointing and clicking added to make it accessible to a more casual audience.
  • Forever SamuraiForever Samurai —November 19, 2009— Slash your way through monsters of myth and legend in this off-kilter side-scroller where you play as a lone samurai, pursuing a great dragon. Master special moves before they master you, buy upgrades, and drink in the sleek scenery as you race towards your destiny.
  • Way Too Casual: A Podcast <br />about Flash Games!Way Too Casual: A Podcast about Flash Games! —November 18, 2009— The JayIsGames staff along with FlashGameLicense have finally gone mad and decided to start a podcast! We call it Way Too Casual because, well, that's what we are. The bi-weekly episodes will focus on casual gaming news, events, reviews and lots more. We have some great surprises planned for future episodes. It's a great way to keep up on the biggest browser game releases and current events in the world of casual gaming. All while you go on your morning jog!
  • Byzantine PerspectiveByzantine Perspective —November 18, 2009— Byzantine Perspective is a tight little heist game from this year's annual interactive fiction competition. You're a student with less-than-legal plans for how to fund your education: get into a museum of Byzantine artifacts, get the valuable antique chalice, get out again. You're rigged out in your best cat-burglar clothes, with your best cat-burglar tools — some of them borrowed from an acquaintance, which raises never-answered questions about what sorts of company the protagonist keeps.
  • Escape from Mr. Y's Room 2Escape from Mr. Y's Room 2 —November 18, 2009— Escape From Mr. Y's Room is a relaxing way to stretch your brain in the middle of the week without overheating. Let the bare walls and lilting piano music take you to a very Zen place as you try to escape. Settle into a lotus position, take a deep breath, let it out, and enjoy the Zen of casual gameplay.
  • How My Grandfather <br />Won the WarHow My Grandfather Won the War —November 17, 2009— How My Grandfather Won the War is a stunningly beautiful game that is worth a second, and even third play through. Treat it as a simple side-scroller or go deeper and explore every inch of its breathtaking cardboard world. The detail is so fantastic you can almost touch the screen and feel the rough edges of haphazardly cut items.
  • Freelance opportunities at JIGFreelance opportunities at JIG —November 17, 2009— So you think you're a casual game aficionado with a passion for the indie game development community, and you would love to add your insights and perspectives to the ever-growing chorus of voices here at JIG but don't know how. Am I right? We have freelance writing opportunities available, inquire within.
  • MerubyiusuMerubyiusu —November 16, 2009— Come, take my hand, and frolic down the brightly lit path of retro arcade gaming in this 2D side-scrolling shooter featuring a flying fox! No, not THAT one! Despite only having three levels, three bosses, and four weapons, Merubyiusu is a fun and frantic tip of the hat to your favourite console games of yesteryear, with just enough difficulty to make it worth your while. Just remember not to cry when kids these days ask you what a "Gradius" is.
  • Casual Gameplay Design Competition #7!Casual Gameplay Design Competition #7! —November 16, 2009— We're pleased to announce a very special Casual Gameplay Design Competition, one focused entirely on interactive fiction! For CGDC #7, we're calling on IF authors to craft one-room games incorporating the theme "escape". It's text-only this time around, so you can spend your time polishing puzzles instead of pixels. Full details are below, so fire up your Z-code compiler and get to writing!
  • Mobile MondayMobile Monday —November 16, 2009— This intro paragraph was written under duress. I, a lonely garden gnome, am being held inside the house against my gnome will. I am being forced to eat vegetables, exercise regularly, and weave baskets as a hobby. If you read this, please send help. And cookies.
  • Mad Skills MotocrossMad Skills Motocross —November 15, 2009— Once upon a time, an exceptional game designer decided to put his hands to making a 'cool' game. It worked. The result was Excitebike, a fast-paced and challenging motorbike racing game. Released this year is the strikingly similar debut game from Turborilla, the aptly titled Mad Skills Motocross. While there are obvious differences between the latter and former games, the general idea of "move right using a motorbike while making jumps and going fast" is here, and that's what we like to see.
  • Murder, She WroteMurder, She Wrote —November 15, 2009— Are you old enough to remember sitting down in front of the TV on a Sunday night, anticipating the appearance of Angela Lansbury in one of the longest-running mystery series ever? If so, you will be thrilled with Murder, She Wrote by Legacy Interactive, a wonderful mystery hidden object/adventure hybrid based on the long-running television series of the same name. Murder, She Wrote allows the player to join world-renowned mystery author Jessica Fletcher as she makes her way through five brand new murder mysteries.
  • Drifting AfternoonDrifting Afternoon —November 15, 2009— It's time to kick back, relax, and get ready to be wooed by the trademark soft visuals and simple, addictive casual gameplay of Ferry Halim's newest Orisinal flash game, Drifting Afternoon. Guide a kitten racing through a field on a windy day leaping from bubble to bubble as you try to rack up the highest score.
  • GardenscapesGardenscapes —November 14, 2009— What city dweller hasn't momentarily yearned for a little plot of land somewhere and a lovely green garden? A place to call your own, a place to breathe in nature, a place to make the neighbors, well, green with envy. This is the premise of Gardenscapes by Playrix Entertainment, a hidden object game with elements of time management and sim games thrown in to make a fun, exciting, and yet curiously relaxing experience.
  • ClickPLAY 2ClickPLAY 2 —November 14, 2009— ClickPLAY has returned! NinjaDoodle's crazy mouse-based game of discovery, geometric shapes, and rampant clicking is back for more with ClickPLAY 2! One part puzzle, one part action, and three parts experimentation, ClickPLAY is all about messing with your environment to see what you can accomplish. And, next to eating chocolate cake while riding a roller coaster through a pool of bacon, it's one of the best ways to spend 15 minutes of your afternoon!
  • Weekend DownloadWeekend Download —November 14, 2009— Alternate title for this edition of Weekend Download: The Balloon Bros. Return of the Attack of the Wrath of the Download: Episode 2 Part 4 - Tetripongfetusausable's Revenge.
  • Alabama Smith in the <br />Quest of FateAlabama Smith in the Quest of Fate —November 13, 2009— It had to be tough growing up with a name like Alabama Smith. I'm sure the mullet jokes practically wrote themselves. But somehow the kid named after the 22nd U.S. state made it, growing up to become a successful archaeologist. Now, following Alabama Smith in Escape from Pompeii, the time-traveling ruins scavenger has returned in Alabama Smith in the Quest of Fate. And this time he has to stop a mysterious nemesis searching for magical relics in Peru
  • Level EditorLevel Editor —November 13, 2009— Game developers will often provide players with tools that allow you to create your own level. In Level Editor, they've decided to skip the pre-made levels and just let you get straight to the level-building fun.You play a red hat-wearing stick man with an arsenal of building blocks and a craving for coins.
  • Link Dump FridayLink Dump Friday —November 13, 2009— This week on Link Dump Friday! Games to brighten up your day, whether the weather's got you down, you're not feeling well, or you feel fine and dandy but you just really like games. We have tiny dragons, big dragons, and physics puzzles, oh my! So what are you waiting for? Click on over to us and turn that frown upside down!
  • Popopop 2Popopop 2 —November 12, 2009— Who doesn't like popping stuff? Come on, seriously, every time you come across a piece of bubble wrap, soap bubbles in the sink, or a bunch of balloons held aloft by a happy little kid in the park, you just can't resist the urge. See bubble, must pop. Popopopop (or Popopop 2 as my right pinky will insist on typing it) plays on this instinct of ours just like the original Popopop and the Bloons series does. Only now instead of rampant popping, you have do do things with a little bit of strategy.
  • escapeescape —November 12, 2009— Don't miss our CGDC #7 announcement coming November 16th!
  • Wake Up The BoxWake Up The Box —November 12, 2009— Mr. Box has gotten himself in a bit of a conundrum falling asleep wherever you find him, and it's your job to wake him up! Push him, pull him, tip him over... whatever gets the job done. Short but solid, Wake Up The Box provides 20 winks of physics puzzle goodness and a bit of charm to boot!
  • Full MoonFull Moon —November 11, 2009— Bart Bonte has given us a stylishly-designed and enjoyable, bunny filled way to have a little fun and waste a little time. Clean, stylish, and polished, Full Moon is a fantastic casual gameplay experience.
  • Lunar Rainbow Room EscapeLunar Rainbow Room Escape —November 11, 2009— Although dark, brooding, atmospheric, scary, or slam-your-head-against-the-desk hard room escapes are always fun, in the middle of the week it's nice to kick back and enjoy something simpler. A nice break from the everyday that won't take up the entire day (or even the entire break, if you're really quick). So sit back, relax, and enjoy a cappuccino of an escape game. With colorful sprinkles!
