Snow Tree: Control the blizzard!

This year's winter lacks the proper winter weather. Instead of frost and snow the temperature is above zero and it rains almost everywhere in Europe and America. While we can't make it snowing outside our windows, we can do it on our computers! The nice relaxing winter game “Snow Tree” provides the snow charge to see, what the real winter should look like.

In this game we control the way the snowflakes are falling. By dragging the mouse on the screen we can create an air flow, which will carry them towards the desired direction. Thus, the real blizzard with various wind patterns: whirlwind, wakes, turbulence, can be started. But, while this process itself provides much fun, it is auxiliary to the main aim of the game.

Ragdoll Cannon 4: Load, Aim, Fire!

Popular flash games usually have juicy graphics and colourful effects. But sometimes the game conquers the players' attention without that, being just a pure gameplay. One of such games is the Ragdoll Cannon series by Russian flash game developer JohnnyK.

In 2008 JohnnyK published in his blog the story about his first steps in flash game development.

But, despite this point of wiev, the games with new, addicting gameplay, still appear.

The bright representative of the games with innovative gameplay is Hungry Sumo. The idea is simple: several circle-shaped sumo wrestlers are floating on the screen, bouncing from each other and from the walls.
