Big Tree Defense is a member of the tower defense genre of video games, in which players arrange assorted types of gun turrets and other fantastical weaponry in order to intercept and destroy wave after wave of attacking enemies. It's a simple concept that's been around for years; at their most basic, tower defense games are easy-to-play time-killers, but some of the more advanced versions require a surprising amount of strategic thinking. This one definitely falls into the latter category.

Sushi and cats go together like... well, they don't go together at all really. But who knew that such a pairing could prove to be so charming? Sushi Cat, Armor Games' take on the Japanese peg board game Pachinko, is a cute romp bolstered by some solid physics-based gameplay as well.

When playing last year’s indie Flash favourite Little Wheel, did you ever stop to wonder where this wonderful world of robots came from? Developer One Click Dog is looking to answer that question with Mogo-Mogo, a prequel to last year’s popular robot parable that places you in the shoes of Bogo the Inventor. Be warned though, if you love Little Wheel, there’s a good chance that the only thing Bogo is going to invent for you is some pretty serious disappointment.

I like to blow stuff up. Mostly buildings. This isn’t something I’ve been doing for long. Just since I discovered Rubble Trouble. It’s a game about blowing stuff up. Mostly buildings. And I just can’t stop playing.

Shaun the sheep and his friends Timmy and Shirley are looking to escape the farm.

We’ve all heard the expression "bull in a china shop," but did you ever think you’d get to play as one? Minotaur China Shop puts you in the hooves of a minotaur who loves selling china. The problem, of course, is that he can’t help but break half his merchandise. Can you help the minotaur turn a profit in five days despite his clumsier tendencies?

Someone once said that there’s great elegance to be found in simplicity. One button game design seems to reflect that sentiment perfectly. Whether you’re running for your life in Canabalt or trying to solve an endless series of mini-games in Click PLAY 2, these games are built around a single simple principle: you’ll never need to press more than one button. One Button Bob, as the name would suggest, is the latest game to showcase this style of gameplay.

I’m the last person who’d want to borrow words from a company’s press release, but I’m pretty sure nothing sums up Robot Unicorn Attack more accurately than this; “In our new game Robot Unicorn Attack you are a majestic, robotic unicorn smashing your way through a fantasy landscape to the sounds of Erasure's 1994 synth-pop masterpiece Always." We’ll understand if you don’t need to read the rest of this review. Just come back after you’ve played the game.

Red Remover sounds more like an acne cream or stain remover rather than a flash game, but that’s what it is – a 45-level puzzle game from Gaz that will have you seeing red in your sleep.
