Smart-Kit: Seriously Fun Online Jigsaw Puzzle Website

Posted by Alex in Blog & Internet, Flash Games on June 30, 2009 at 7:56 am

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!

The Ultimate Vending Machine Challenge

Posted by Stacy in Flash Games on February 13, 2009 at 8:07 pm

There’s a little part of me that waits with bated breath every time I buy something from the vending machine downstairs at work. Will the little spirals twist enough to let my delicious snack out, or will it get stuck on the one just before my snack and leave it dangling there, mocking me?

It usually works out for the best, but on the days it doesn’t, you can always vent your frustration with the Ultimate Vending Machine Challenge from Adult Swim.
