I’ve been looking for ways to unwind after work these last couple of nights, and have enjoyed these high quality web flash games. These are some of the best examples of interactive flash entertainment on the web.

I hope you enjoyed these games as much as I have, and please suggest any other games you have found to be remarkable in the comments!

Maybe you can’t consider this one a game… more like a walk in a modern art museum with interactive exhibits. Try Wildcard.jp.org.

Test your structural engineering intuition with a game that makes Jenga look like child’s play. Try Top Figures.

Do you like Myst? Imagine you are a little elf trying to save your world from destruction. Beautifully rendered cute little puzzles in Samarost 1. And the sequel Samarost 2 is even better. Try Polyphonic Spree if you want more of this genre.

Have an itchy trigger finger? Blast the heads off of waves and waves of zombies with weapon upgrades. Search for other survivors to help you stay alive in The Last Stand.

Looking for a strategy game? Try Vector TD where you need to buy, position, and upgrade different types of cannons to prevent hordes of viruses from overrunning your position. Think or die.

If you are looking for something more mindless but compelling, try Cosmic Crush. Navigate only with your arrow keys as a piece of planetary debris bent on dominating the universe using your own gravity.

Leave it to the Japanese to come up with this elegant game. The goal is to push a ball into a certain part of the screen… sounds easy until you try it in Oshidama. (ignore the Japanese text, you don’t need it to play)
