That quality, along with the game's simple and colorful appearance, made me feel like a little kid. When I finally finished I had a huge, silly grin on my face. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/crazy_doors_of_rainbow_colors.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/crazy_doors_of_rainbow_colors.php games Wed, 14 May 2008 15:37:03 -0500 If you've been itching for a new, fun side-scrolling shooter, Postal Panic is a game you don't want to pass up. It takes the side-scrolling action of an arcade shooter and throws in some upgrading, a wacky story line and an even wackier set of enemies. Instead of the typical outer space setting, you play the role of a postal worker (in some crazy alternate dimension) who pilots a fully-armed, mail delivery ship. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/postal_panic.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/postal_panic.php games Tue, 13 May 2008 16:15:30 -0500 A game that combines wordplay with Sokoban-style block pushing? Are they mad?!? Arrange blocks with letters to form words by sliding them into place. Luckily, Alphabox recognizes solutions apart from the one intended, so sometimes you can get creative and mix the letters around, saving a few moves. A level editor extends the replay value of this innovative puzzler. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/alphabox.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/alphabox.php games Mon, 12 May 2008 22:16:25 -0500 free download and updated every 8 weeks.]]> http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/mixed_tape_20.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/mixed_tape_20.php music Mon, 12 May 2008 15:10:25 -0500 A fast-paced, single-player mouse avoidance game where your only goal is to survive as long as possible. Dodge angry red buggles and collect mysterious blue boxes to obtain a high score. Catch the little green buggles to become the mighty devourer, destroyer of red buggles! Eat them all!

Brute Wars is a turn-based RPG tactical strategy game where you pit your team of six creatures against opposing squads. The placement and order of their attacks adds up to a highly nuanced and rapid game of tactics that you won't want to miss. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/brute_wars.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/brute_wars.php games Sun, 11 May 2008 17:37:37 -0500 If something considered "retro" gets remade, is it still considered retro? Such is the question to ponder while playing Arcadia Remix, the juiced-up retro remake of Gamelab's multitasking classic, Arcadia. This newer version adds to the retro insanity with more mini-games and gameplay features to make your head explode in a neon rainbow. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/arcadia_remix.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/arcadia_remix.php games Sun, 11 May 2008 06:00:00 -0500 This Mother's Day (through 5/16/08), save BIG on all casual game downloads from Big Fish Games.

Each one spins an unforgettable tale using famous crime novel monikers everyone should recognize. Although the titles take strikingly different gameplay approaches, each one offers a deep mystery experience wrought with hidden agendas, misleading clues, and plenty of riddles to solve. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/weekend_download_detective_edition.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/weekend_download_detective_edition.php games Sat, 10 May 2008 19:40:39 -0500 Ready to fill your hard drive to the brim? This weekend we've got several commercially produced games released as freeware. That means you get all the polish and production value of a big studio title without shelling out the cash. You'll have to be patient while they download, and the games aren't as friendly to casual gamers as we'd like, but you can't beat paying nothing for a game that used to carry a retail price tag. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/weekend_download_38.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/weekend_download_38.php blogging Sat, 10 May 2008 09:26:04 -0500 Decorating your home is loads of fun. Assuming you have a huge budget, unlimited resources, and all the time in the world. Sandlot's new casual game Eye for Design drops you in the interior design chair with near total control over the inside of each house. You play Cheri, the top grad from a prestigious design school in Paris, working with clients looking to spruce up their abodes. Choose and arrange nearly every element in each room to make the customer happy and earn respect in the interior design world. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/eye_for_design.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/eye_for_design.php games Fri, 09 May 2008 20:30:25 -0500 The Flash-based Pararalyzer from Japanese developer, Heriet, is an adrenaline-based manic shooter if ever there was one. From the opening screen, there is action galore and soon enough amazing bullet patterns criss-cross the screen in a dazzling kaleidoscope of colour. Unleash a seemingly endless stream of bullets toward the equally endless droves of enemies who are bent on destroying you. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/pararalyzer.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/pararalyzer.php games Fri, 09 May 2008 16:00:00 -0500 They say that good things should never end. Take orange, for instance. The orange is infinite. Scroll down into the orange. It's ok, the orange won't hurt you. Perhaps it would be best just to give into the orange. Play. Grow things, drop things, poke things. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/good_things_should_never_end.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/good_things_should_never_end.php games Fri, 09 May 2008 14:29:32 -0500 My goal for this Link Dump Friday was to feature five games with one word titles. Did I succeed? Nope. Does that mean my mutant powers are waning? NEVER! It's just due to the position of Jupiter in relation to Capricorn, you see... And besides, one word or two, all the games are still fun, right? http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/link_dump_friday_60.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/link_dump_friday_60.php blogging Fri, 09 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500 Alan Probe: Amateur Surgeon is a cartoonish and casually offensive entry into the simon-says-surgery genre made famous(ish) by Atlus' Trauma Center. Your job is to follow the exact requirements of each surgery as quickly and as accurately as possible. The game is blessed with the finest production values a second-tier television network can buy, with bright, detailed environments and an ever-present sense of self-conscious irony. The violence is so over-the-top that it's not really gross, but there's still plenty of comically intense moments to go around. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/alan_probe_amateur_surgeon.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/05/alan_probe_amateur_surgeon.php games Thu, 08 May 2008 15:08:07 -0500
