Weekend Download: the only day of the week where cats can go on dates with their owners, pirates demand their captives play football, and ninjas actually get trapped in castles.

Ninja Torappu (Windows, free) - Ever been in a castle when all of a sudden a rolling spike thing starts grinding down on top of you? Yeah, this ninja has, but you're going to help him stay alive! This simple arcade game challenges you to avoid things flying up from the bottom of the screen as you rush to hop from platform to platform, constantly fighting to stay between the spikes and the edge of the playing field. Collect coins to refill your health, just be careful about it! Spot-on controls and gameplay that's more than just speed and reflexes.

Flabby Blubberin Football (Windows, free) - Appease the pirates by juggling footballs. And there you have it! Move around the ship's deck and use [z] and [x] to kick your little pixel feet. Juggle the ball as many times as you can for great justice. Think of it like an old Atari version of hacky sack. Only... real hacky sack is much easier!

A Catastrophic Date (Windows, free) - You are a cat. A genius cat. Your owner is having a terrible time in the dating world, so you decide to give her a hand... by impersonating her next date! Genius cat, remember. Read through the text and use the [arrow] keys to respond. Depending on how you play things, you'll get one of several different endings. A cute game that's fairly short but scores high in the humor department.
