Miami Shark
Almost a decade since the infamous photo of a great white shark attacking a Pave Hawk helicopter circulated the web via emails, things are looking up for the infamous shark. First, it got a movie deal (kind of) with the release of Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus … and now, its own Flash game.
Behold, Miami Shark by Felix Wiesner (Wiesi), where the object of the game is to eat your way in the Florida Keys while bringing down helicopters and planes. I won’t spoil the surprise about what sort of planes …
Awesome? JAWESOME! Link [Flash Game]
By the way the original shark photo was taken by South African photographer Charles Maxwell who was interviewed by National Geographic about the whole deal.

Leaving
Leaving is a video game based on a true story.
William David, a developer for Ubisoft, decided the best way for him to quit would be through the same medium, but in a rather different style. The combination of style, music and message make this an entertaining experience and by the time I had walked my way through it, I myself was willing William on to do great things. His plans are to continue work as an independent developer.
You don’t accrue points, you don’t compete against anyone, and there are no advancing levels, but the music is awesome. Use the arrow keys to advance and quit your job. Link to story. Link to game. -via reddit

Smart-Kit: Seriously Fun Online Jigsaw Puzzle Website
I *love* jigsaw puzzles but haven’t had the time to put one together since I have kids. Who has the time? (Plus, I’m sure that if I even try now pieces would be eaten forthwith by said kids). So, when Smart-Kit asked me to do a review of their online puzzles, I jumped at the opportunity.
First of all, there are limitations to a Flash-based online jigsaw puzzle: the workspace is limited and the pieces are already rightside up. But the benefits far outweigh the limitations for a casual gamer like me. For one, you’d never lose a piece! Pieces virtually snap together when you get the right ones next to each other – and no rotating necessary (so I guess that rightside up pieces is actually a benefit after all).
You can select how complicated you’d like the puzzle dimensions to be: 4×3, 8×6 (the one above), 12×9 or if you like a challenge, 16×12. See the pic above? It took me about 8 minutes to complete – just the right amount of time for a little fun break at work.
We’ve covered Smart-Kit before on Neatorama (they also have many more non-jigsaw puzzles – like the SwizzlePop! and the Hidden Object Puzzle: Find the Bear, for instance), so for a quick online fun, give ‘em a try!

Monkey Kick Off
The concept behind the cute Monkey Kick Off Flash game from Miniclip is maddeningly simple: just press a key or click your mouse button to get the monkey to kick the ball. Sounds simple, right? Well, it is … except when you’re trying to beat someone else’s score.
See if you can beat my top score (4194, which is woefully low as compared to the top players of Monkey Kick Off): Link

Splitter: a Fun Physics Engine Flash Game by Eugene Karataev
We haven’t posted a fun Flash game in a while, so here’s one to make up for the oversight: Splitter by Eugene Karataev.
It’s a fun little physics engine game with the simple goal: get the smiley to its goal by slicing and dicing through stuff. It starts off easy, but it gets more and more maddening (maddeningly fun, that is!): Link – via Onelargeprawn

Windosill by Patrick Smith
Patrick Smith of Vectorpark, the creator of the fun Flash game Feed the Head (previously featured on Neatorama here), told us of his latest creation a "what-the-hell-do-I-do-next" Flash game called Windosill.
Like Patrick’s previous game, Windosill features superb animation, fun, and addictive game play. The game starts out easy, but you’ll soon be scratching your head to solve the puzzle.
If you like Feed the Head, Samorost or other Flash puzzlers, this is the game for you (it’s a quick download to your PC or Mac – the free version lets you play the first half of the game. The full version is only $3).
I have 3 10 activation codes, courtesy of Patrick, which I will email to those you who come up with the best answers to this question: "How can we improve Neatorama (blog and/or online shop)?" Leave your answers in the comment section, please.

Nathan Jurevicius' Scarygirl Flash Game
In 2000, Australian artist Nathan Jurevicius created a character named Scarygirl, a cute but slightly odd little girl who has a giant octopus as a guardian, and thought of a game. Flash forward nine years later, he has finally finished it.
If you haven’t checked it out before, do yourself a favor and head on over to Nathan’s website. It’s the most beautifully animated Flash, like, ever!

White Zone Flash Game
Don’t you hate when you answer the phone and get sucked into the receiver? Me too. That’s what happens in White Zone, where you’re magically transported to a room with just four pieces of furniture: a T.V., a dresser and two chairs. How will you escape? That’s for you to figure out… but if you get stuck, there’s a walkthrough at JayIsGames (where I get all of these wonderful Flash games from).

How Old Is Your Brain?
How old is your brain? This fun little Flash Game will calculate it for you!
A year or two ago I remember seeing a video that showed how chimps have better memories than people, and a similar game to this one was used to demonstrate this fact.
The instructions at the site are in Japanese, here is a translation:
1. Touch "Start"
2. Wait for 3,2,1
3. Memorize the numbers’ position on the screen, and then click the circle from the smallest number to the largest.
4. At the end of the game, the age of your brain will be calculated.

Totem Destroyer 2
We’ve featured Gabriel Ochsenhofer’s Totem Destroyer, an extremely fun and addictive Flash game, on Neatorama a while ago.
Gabriel has since come up with the sequel: Totem Destroyer 2. It has the same easy and fun game play, but with snazzier graphics and a lot more blocks!

Bubble Spinner
Bubble Spinner is not that difficult. You can work out your strategy after only a minute or two, but the rest of your day may be sacrificed to this simple game. The object is to cluster three or more of the same colored balls together to make them disappear. Yes, you’ve seen games like that, but this one moves around on you! Link -via Buzzfeed

White Jigsaw
This starts out easy, but every time you successfully complete one of the all-white puzzles, you get another one with more pieces. I can’t seem to stop playing… I want to know how large the final puzzle gets! If anyone gets there, let me know.

An Escape-the-Room-Game: Vision
Vision is another escape-from-the-room game, sure, but it’s pretty. Be sure to examine every nook and cranny – you’re going to need keys or combinations to open almost everything. And take note of the shapes of things. That’s all I’m saying! Have fun and good luck.

Maze Game is Really Hard
Or maybe it’s just hard for me – I have perpetually shaky hands (it takes me two hands to play Boom Blox on the Wii) so I only got about halfway through before biffing it. Your job is to guide the little red dot through the maze without touching the walls, but it’s not as easy as all that. There are moving parts and twists and turns that make this pretty challenging! And if, unlike me, this maze is way too simple for you, there’s a link at the bottom of the page for version two, which looks darn near impossible.

I Wish I Were The Moon
I Wish I Were the Moon is a refreshingly different and genre-defying Flash game by Daniel Benmergui of Ludomancy. It is inspired by Italo Calvino’s short story The Distance of the Moon
and has been showcased at the Tokyo Game Show for its experimental gameplay.
The object of the game is to find the 8 possible outcomes or "endings" – all you have to do is take snapshots of something and click again to move it …
Supposedly there’s even a "secret" ending: Link [Flash]

Dominoes + Tomatoes = Fun Flash Game
This is pretty self explanatory, but strangely addicting. Figure out which domino will set off the chain that will splat the tomato. You don’t have to make all of the dominoes fall down, but it’s better if you do – you have a set amount of time to complete all of puzzles, and you get time taken off for every domino you leave. Have fun!

Crazy Doors of Rainbow Colors
Can you tell I’ve been sort of addicted to flash games lately? Crazy Doors of Rainbow Colors isn’t too hard, but it’s fun and colorful. Well, there is one tricky part, I thought: figuring out the code for the door. Have fun!
