Seventy-Five Flash Games We Recommend

We all love Flash games, so it's also when some are recommended to us. The more the merrier, in fact. So how about seventy-five? Seventy five games that are essential for any Flash gamer to play, whether they like it or not.

Note: Some of these games might not be actual Flash games. Don't bother informing us.

Here is that list:

1. MOTAS - The original escape the room game that started the whole wave of that genre. The subtle, creepy and mind-boggling adventure of an escaped clone will have you pulling your hair out for the next level. MOTAS is extremely innovative and one of the best games made to date.

2. Fantastic Contraption - Another game that demands the use of your brain. In this game, there is no one answer, but rather thousands of possibilities you can tap into to finish the level. It's also free-play, so you don't have to finish one level to get to another.

3. Mardek: Chapter 2 - The epic episodic (see, we're funny!) RPG series by Pseudolonewolf, which is extremely popular. If you're a gamer, chances are you've heard of it. I recommend you play Chapter one first (if you haven't already).

4. Motherload - Being one of the best games xgenstudios has ever produced, in Motherload you play as a digging machine traveling down into earth, collecting minerals and being cool like that. But as you venture deeper, some mysterious things start happening, and you soon find yourself traveling the unknown.

5. Kongai - A card game on Kongregate, that is highly balanced on a competitive level. Made by the lead designer of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix.

6. Portal: The Flash Version - It doesn't matter if you're a Portal fan or a moron (and those are the only two types of people), Portal: The Flash Version is definitely an acceptable work of Flash to match the original. All the awesomeness of the original Valve game minus one dimension.

7. The Impossible Quiz 1 and 2 - Two ridiculously hard quizzes where you're easily addicted to its hilarious questions and simply unfair difficulty.

8. Amorphous+ - You star a small warrior from bird's eye view, battling multiple merciless blobs who plan on taking over the world (or perhaps just having you for dinner). It's intense and quite difficult at times.

9. Pillage The Village - Pillage the Village is one of those rare games where your basic method of killing isn't weapons. In this game, it's brute force caused by your crushing grip. And it's awesome.

10. Platform Racing 2 - One of the best free multiplayer games where you race others and gain in level. Note: Number three will be released quite soon.

11. The Thing Thing Series - One of the most fantastic 'blood n gore' games out there, where there are too many games to pin down to one. We'll conveniently link to the fourth, however.

12. Grow Island - A game by Eyezmaze, being part of his famous Grow Series. This time it takes place on an island, where you... grow it. Tip: There are two final outcomes!

13. More Bloons - That game where you're a monkey that throws darts at balloons. How do people think up this stuff?

14. Submachine Series - A series of escape the room games, where you solve puzzles to escape various places.

15. Mobile Weapon - Pilot mechs and adventure and do the basic thing you do in all RPGs!

16. Dino Run - Run from the incoming apocalypse to escape the extinction of the dinosaurs. The usual awesomeness in a pixelated Flash game.

17. Dungeon Escape - Don't let this game's bad animation, and overall mediocre appearance fool you. Dungeon Escape is a very unique game where escaping the dungeon means clicking rapidly at appearing buttons.

18. Seven Deadly Sins - Seven Deadly Sins is a pretty backwards game. At the beginning of the game (which is gladly played to 'Mr. Blue Sky') you are challenged in a bar to committing all seven of the seven deadly sins in less than a fortnight. Can you do it?

19. Don't Look Back - An eerie, depressing, and faithfully pixelated game where might not want to look back.

20. Dot Action 2 - How could you forget this?

21. Super Serif Brothers - Super Serif Brothers is a text-based platformer, and is about as simple as it gets. It also has it's own level editor and pit, which you could say is the most important part of the game.

22. Desktop Tower Defense 1.5 - One of the original and best tower defense games out there, where you use different 'towers' to keep evil critters off of your desk. (squashing is not an option).

23. N - One of the most innovative and fast-paced platformers out there. It's good to be a ninja.

24. Dolphin Olympics 2 - Just another game where you're a dolphin who swims into the far reaches of outer space, by swimming very quickly. The usual stuff.

25. Codex of Alchemical Engineering - A game where half of it is figuring out what to do!

26. The Glean of the Glob - One of the most peculiar and creative Flash games on the market, where your job is to uncover a secret.

27. Mindscape - An amazing, mind-bending and absolutely creepy platformers where you journey through three worlds, all completely different.

28. Electric Man 2 - A fast-paced combat game starring an electric man who is riling for a fight. A fun way to let of steam - or electricity. (hur hur)

29. Inquisitive Dave - A short adventure game starring a man named Dave who is feeling particularly inquisitive. A good way to exercise your brain without playing a puzzle game.

30. Ball Revamped Series - The Ball Revamped Series is a relatively old series of games, where the focus of the game is to get to the end of the stage without hitting obstacles. As the game progresses there are more power-ups and obstacles.

31. Electric Box - A simple, yet quite difficult puzzle game where you work with the powers of science!

32. Grow ver.3 REMAKE - The great original Grow game that inspired it all now remade.

33. Windowsill - Playing a windowsill you dare to what no windowsill has done before, and go on an awesome journey of epic proportions.

34. Magnets - Similar to MagnetiZR, Magnets is a creative physics puzzle game with magnets, legos and other trinkets to mess around with.

35. Crimson Room - You're trapped in a crimson room, and the only way to get out is to use your strategic mind to figure out puzzles and collect items of use.

36. Fancy Pants (World 2) - A platformer where you run around in orange pants, kick snail shells, jump on spiders and have a good time. One of the best Flash platformers out there. (May or may not include large rabbits)

37. Copy Cat: A Painter's Puzzle - An artistic game where you mimic paterns with stencils and paint. Very original.

38. Notpron - Here's the thing about Notpron. If you don't use a walkthrough, it's really, really, really difficult. And that's what makes it fun.

39. Seed - Seed is one of those 'grow' types of games, but what makes it unique is how beautiful the animation is. By combining different flowers' DNA, you get new, strange combinations that make your garden more beautiful.

40. You Have To Burn The Rope - You have to play the game.

41. Music Catch 2 - What's better than beautiful music to listen to? Perhaps a game to come along with it. Music Catch 2 is the full package for music and game lovers.

42. Monsters' Den: Book of Dread - A creepy, mysterious dungeon dwelling game where you use your warriors and mages to battle evil monsters.

43. Sonny 2 - You play as a zombie in a world which is quite unjust about zombies, and the game is a mere representation of the difficulty every day zombies face. It's likely you already know of this game.

44. Dwarf Complete - Yet another game by Eyezmaze, but this time it stars a dwarf! A good way to spend an hour.

45. Toss the Turtle - In Toss the Turtle you... toss the turtle. The game focuses on your shooting a turtle out of a cannon, and seeing how far it will go.

46. Fold - The point of the game is to get to the other end, but that can be quite difficult when there are so many instant-kill obstacles in the way!

47. Ether Cannon - Go go ether!

48. Emergency Exit - You're a workaholic Japanese man, who suddenly finds himself trapped in his office by an evil monster. The mix of humor and plane surrealism of this game makes it fantastic.

49. Nanaca Crash - Animu!!!!

50. Combat Heaven - Mechish shooting game with an interesting upgrade system and many secrets to figure out how to unlock. Can be pretty addictive, and stylish.

51. Hackerstory - The best idle game. Possibly the best game ever.

52. Sprout - A little sprout journeys to become a grand tree, like many before him. It's cute, artistic and a fun play if you get the chance.

53. Lint - Being the little piece of lint you are, the world seems big and unwelcoming. But you survive with your awesome jumping abilities, and undeniable cuteness.

54. Gemcraft 0 - The second of the Gemcraft series, where you use different gems to shoot down enemies and progress in the game.

55. Vector TD 2 - Another defend your castle game, but in vector style! Like many TD's, it can be very addictive.

56. 5 and 6 Differences - A 'spot the difference' game, but this time instead of being totally lame, the pictures used are often very interesting, and sometimes even a bit soothing when you've had a long day. Soothing until you can't find that one last difference, that is.

57. Line Rider - You know what this game is.

58. Free Rider - You know what this game is, too.

59. :the Game: - There isn't much to say about :the game:. There isn't as much playing as there is laughing, which makes it totally worth it.

60. The Majesty of Colors - In The Majesty of Colors you are an alien squid-like creature who is only beginning to learn the ways of Earth. You can learn to love, hate or die.

61. Death vs. Monstars - In Death vs. Monstars you are death, and they are monsters. Needless to say it's a pretty bizarre game, and you might like to know it's one of the best shooters out there.

62. The Next Floor - The Next Floor is the mix of a turret defense game and a third-person shooter, and it does it brilliantly.

63. Use Boxmen - Use Boxmen is a game where you do exactly what the game title says, you use boxmen to win, by having them go through certain paths. They are your pawns.

64. Microbe Combat - A fighting/capture game starring small, seemingly pathetic microbes.

65. Grid16 - A game by the famous developer Jmtb02, Grid16 is the ultimate example of multi-tasking, as there are 16 games within one for you to focus on.

66. Canabalt - Canabalt is the story of a man who dares to run from a world where the human race is being captured by evil, menacing giant robots. The game has only two controls, yet it is very difficult and a really engaging game.

67. Little Wheel - Little Wheel is an easy, quick play which focuses more around an awesome atmosphere than the actual gameplay, but is still a good way to spend fifteen minutes.

68. Stinkoman - 20XD6! Stinkoman is one of the best platformers ever created, poking fun at the Megaman-esque genre, and all of Japan (Because Japan is always fun to poke fun at).

69. The Shrine - A game about saving the world. One shrine at a time.

70. P.O.D. - An old game where you must defend your base from evil attacking aliens with lasers. Quite a difficult game, and one that is very satisfying to complete.

71. Gamma Bros. - A shooter game where you fight evil ships in space, and do it all in pixelated graphics of awesomeness.

72. Protector: Reclaiming the Throne - Protector is one of the most brilliantly designed defense games made, and one that might just have you captivated for hours.

73. The Visitor - A creepy game where you play as an alien landed on our planet, who comes to a small cabin to get a feel of what this 'Earth' is lile.

74. Dinowars - A multiplayer game where you load up your dinosaur with weapons and beat the crap out of other dinosaurs.

75. Peasant's Quest - Peasant's Quest is the tale of a bullied peasant in an 8-bit town who dares to stand up against his evil opressor, and the most horrible entity ever conceived, Trogdor.
