Hello,

I moved Zip-zapgames.com to the new - better - server today. I hope that everything will work great, but if you’ll find any problem, please make comment.

Thanks,

There is no doubt that casual games totally dominate the portal sales, but which type of game mechanics is most profitable?

For few years was Bejeweled (and clones) the Bestseller no. 1, another years there was Zuma and their clones and now it is hidden objects. It was surprise me a lot, because I do not like this type of game, but I am probably not typical costumer. Hidden objects dominate on most portals during whole year.

Second big genre is Click Management (Cake Mania, Diner Dash and clones) and during end of the year 2007 there pop up fewSim games like Alice Greenfingers or Virtual Villagers which takes a lot of attention too (23% on Yahoo Games).

You can find a lot of other interesting facts in latest Casual Games Quarterly.

Filling games are one of the old game archetypes. I play tens of games where you need to fill some percent of the level on many platforms: from mobile phones toDS.

Filler is not so special, but like another similar games in this genre is very addictive and fun (for couple of minutes minimal).

Your objective is fill 2/3 of level by balls which grow until you release the mouse button. There is also small balls and if this hits you, you lose a live. You can also kill this bouncing ball by drop your ball to him, butunfortunately it will appear again. And you can also lock these bouncing balls like me on the screenshots.

I must recommend to try this game. You can find it on Kongregate.

It is not for sure! And The Missile Game 3D HS is going to convince you about it. There are not many flash games in 3D. Of course even this one doesn’t have beautiful Crysis-like graphics, but does it hamper something?

To control this game you need only your mouse. You must control a missile that is launching from a silo. But it’s not as easy as it look like.There are many obstructions in the silo! And you’ve got only 5 missiles to complete all 9 levels. You can think, that 9 levels isn’t enough, but I can promise you, that it is! And another beautiful thing about this game is, that every level is created randomly, so it’s never the same.

So good luck and don’t try this at home,kids;o) Play The Missile Game 3D HS in your browser

Americans are said to be dumb, because they don’t know anything about the world within the borders of the USA. Do you want to show, that you’re better? Do you know every country of the world? Do you know in what country is Antananarivo? Show us your “traveller IQ”!

Sincerly, I wasn’t sure whether to call this thing a game or not. But it’s fun and it’s the main thing in gaming, right? And you can get even some knowledge here! What it’s all about? It’s quite easy - you have some time limit and a city, monument or anything else you can show on a map. In the time limit you must find this thing on the map and click as close as you can. The closer, the more score you’ll get. And of course if you’ll click on the right place sooner, you’ll get some extra score too.

Any game is perfect and even this one has some shortcomings. The biggest one is that the map is quite small. And even if you know exactly where the city is, you can click 200 miles away. But never mind, everyone of us has the same possibility, right? So waste no more time and show us how well do you know your world (play the game)!

PS: Antananarivo is the capital of Madagascar;o)

I like first sequel of this game very much (read blog post about 3D logic 1) and I can’t resist to write about this new one, when I try it.

In fact there are no changes in gameplay: control is the same, concept too. They’ve new fancy graphics, music and new levels and trust me; they make a good job with these new levels. First game was too easy and it takes me quite small time to finish it.

Concept is simply: you have cube in 3D (well, just three surfaces are accessible) and you must connect same colored pins. I enjoy circuit designing class while I was studied and this is something like that. But do not worry it is not for electrical engineers only.

Enjoy all 30 levels on Kongregate.
