Facebook and Twitter highscores come to Kwikgames

Sorry for the lack of updates in recent weeks, I’ve been extremely busy working on games for a couple of big clients and that has left very little time to update Kwikgames. Don’t worry though, I have some big updates planned for next week including 2 big batches of themed games…

Reason for posting today however, I’ve been testing the new HeyZap viral integration for adding highscore posts to Facebook and Twitter. This functionality will likely be added to all of my games in the future, but if you want to check out my first test then play Robot Run and see what you think!

It’s a simple arcade/action game, just see what highscore you can muster and then it’s a single click to share it with your friends…

4 new free Flash games

Something for everyone today - a fast past arcade blaster Zombie Assault 2, a real time strategy game Steam of War, a word game to improve your typing skills Typo Negative an a free cooking game for the girls Franktown Pizza.

SAS: Zombie Assault 2 More zombie blasting in this horror survival sequel.  This is the sequel to the hugely popular original SAS: Zombie Assault and this time there are more guns, more zombie, more gore and more fun… how long will you survive?

Typo Negative Defend the city from the invading words in this Missile Command inspired typing game.  One of the best typing games online today.

Steam Of War Nice RTS Real Time Strategy game where your goal is to take over the entire map.  Reminiscent of classics like Battle Isles or Command and Conquer, this is a nicely made Flash strategy game that will keep you occupied for a good while!

Franktown Pizza One for the kids… Make pizzas to order with the right toppings while staying in control in a busy kitchen in this fast paced pizza cooking game.

Like I said, something for everyone today.  Watch out for 2 big updates coming soon… a HUGE collection of new sports games, and a big update for puzzle game fans too… Watch this space!

Monday morning free games update

Monday mornings are never fun, but these fun and addictive new free games should make the day a little more bearable!  A real mixture today, from one of the hardest arcade puzzle games you’re ever likely to play, to some great new free Flash word games, to my game of the week, Huje Tower, which is just plain fun!  Enjoy…

Huje Tower I love this game!  The idea is to drag “Hujes” (Bacteria) around to create structures which allow you to reach new parts of the level.  Lots of fun, well designed levels and nice graphics make this my game of the week!	Word Cannon Fire letters from your cannon in an attempt to form words.  A simple but fun word game from Doctionary.com	Sea Star Scramble This is a new take on the anagram genre where your goal is to rearrange letters and form new words…
Die By The Word Ninjas and spelling - what a combination!  If you’re looking for a fun way to improve your typing and/or spelling skills this could be it!	Bloons Insanity Pack The hardest Bloons game yet, with 50 incredibly difficult but addictive levels of balloon popping madness. Warning - don’t sit down to play this unless you have some serious time to spare, you won’t be beating all 50 levels in a hurry!	Street Fighter 2 CE If you’ve not yet played this Flash version of the classic 1990s arcade beat-em-up we added last week then goplay it now! This is the champion edition of Street Fighter II which rocked the arcades back in the 1990s.

Great new arcade games, word games, cooking games

SAS: Zombie Assult game

Fancy a quick blast? Here comes SAS: Zombie Assault.  Echoing such golden greats as Alien Breed this top-down arcade shoot-em-up is fast, furious, and will have you on the edge of your seat. The graphics and audio are atmospheric, and there is enough variety in the game to keep you interested through the 20 levels…

Your aim is purely to survive. Fend off the attacking zombies using an assortment of weapons, upgrading and repairing your defenses, and even buying mines and sentry guns. You’ll need a mixture of a quick trigger finger, and a certain amount of strategy to make it through all 20 waves.

Fancy a challenge? Try to beat all 20 levels on your first attempt… I didn’t quite make it, dying just moments from glory on wave 20 with a score of 20,033

Can you do better? Leave a comment in the review box if you can!

Crush The Castle Sequel

Best Flash games of all time?

I got to thinking over the weekend, just what are the BEST Flash games of all time?

I guess there are many ways to choose a list like that.  You could choose the games which you personally found the most fun to play.  You could look at the stats on a bunch of games sites, and see which games have been played the most.  You could even run a poll and let people vote…

I compiled my list differently though.  You see, I’ve een involved in the Flash games industry for almost 10 years, both as a website owner and publisher, and as a developer.  Over those years I’ve played thousands of games - some great, some quite terrible.  And in that time a few games have really stood out from the crowd, either because they were the first to do something new, of because whatever they did was done with real style.

So I’ve compiled my list of the best Flash games of all time over at Squidoo.  Why not pop over there, see whether or not you agree, and play some great games!

Whether you agree, don’t agree, or maybe have a suggestion of your own be sure to leave a comment!

Keep having fun…

Troy - New free Flash game for a Monday morning!

It comes every week, and it’s never fun, but Monday morning can be made a little more bearable with the Kwikgames free game of the week!

This week’s excuse for wasting 30 minutes in the office today is Troy

Your goal is to defend the castle from attack.  You start with only a tower basllista and swordsmen at your disposal, but as you progress you can purchase upgrades to your tower, special attacks, and the ability to create advanced units such as heros and giants.

Will you be able to fend off the attackers?  Will you become a legend?

Here’s a challenge for you… try and beat 45000 final score on your first go!

Have fun…
