Simply point and click your way through an uncluttered yet beautifully rendered living room, packed with challenges.

Ian Snyder's Push is a platform game with an exciting and inventive twist that lets you reshape levels in real-time with an omnipotent force bubble.

You awake in a room. Could be in a spaceship, could be in a space station, could be just a strange building in East Podunk, Michigan. As you explore the story unfolds, giving, in a few short clues, a vivid account of what may have happened and the personalities of the people involved. Who, by the way, are mysteriously missing. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/07/the_freewill_cycle_volume_1.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/07/the_freewill_cycle_volume_1.php escape Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:00:01 -0500 [Platform: Flash] ]]> Jay is Games Incredibots 2 Mini-Brawl!]]> http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/you_are_games_incredibots_2_mini_brawl.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/you_are_games_incredibots_2_mini_brawl.php physics Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:00:00 -0500 [Platform: Flash] ]]> 8 days (more like 3 years) since Anode & Cathode had us sleuthing the case of The Poison Coffee, adventuring around The Casino, or meandering through The Museum. Today they send us on another adventure in a similar style, The Fun Fair (Part 1 of what looks to be another episodic game like their last game, 8 Days).]]> http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/the_fun_fair.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/the_fun_fair.php adventure Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:37:42 -0500 [Platform: Flash] ]]> Bubble Cannon 2 is what the original game should have been, with tighter goals and more thoughtful gameplay. Eliminate balls by colliding them with their similarly-colored mates, but take your time, because each ball is important! Engaging and very addicting! http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/bubble_cannon_2.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/bubble_cannon_2.php skill Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:30:00 -0500 [Platform: Flash] ]]> In Kidnapped by Aliens, previously unsung developer Selfdefiant tells the story of a human protagonist who has been kidnapped, and awaits who-knows-what from his captors. By the use of a little ingenuity, our hero manages to escape his cell and explore more areas of the UFO that contains him, with the ultimate goal of returning to Earth... perhaps. The surreal but perfect background sound and puzzles that make sense without being too obvious turn this game into an enjoyable experience. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/kidnapped_by_aliens.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/kidnapped_by_aliens.php escape Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:00:00 -0500 [Platform: Mobile (iPhone, iPod Touch)] ]]> A big bunch o' arcade games have been assembled for this week's Mobile Monday.

It's old school adventuring at its best and manages to both parody and canonize classic Lucasarts games while providing a stiff set of puzzles to solve. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/time_gentlemen_please.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/time_gentlemen_please.php adventure Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:30:27 -0500 [Platform: Download (Windows)] ]]> Enlightenus is a story-driven hidden object adventure game made backwards. Instead of looking for and collecting a list of items in cluttered rooms, your job is to find where items belong and put them back. Compare your inventory with the objects on the screen and decipher which items go in which location. It's a simple gameplay switcheroo that shoves Enlightenus away from the pack and into the spotlight. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/enlightenus.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/06/enlightenus.php hidden-object Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:00:20 -0500
