*Here’s the Good Stuff!*

SHIFT SERIES
Play Shift 1 turn music on! (beat my time: 479.2 seconds– shouldn’t be hard!)
then
Play Shift 2 music boo!
*Things look nicer if you minimize the window a bit after clicking the link*
These 2 games have the most ingenious game design you have ever seen. I beat Shift 1 on my first try. Beware: the in-game announcements LIE! Also, there is a trick to starting Shift 2. I won’t give it away… unless you beg (in comments)! I have not yet beat Shift 2– just discovered it.
DESKTOP TOWER DEFENSE
Play The Game! (no clutter, but no directions!)
Play the Game! (with ads, directions, and tutorial!)
This game was suggested by a loyal reader (what’s he thinking?). The second link exists because I was way too stupid to figure it all out on my own!
BOOMSHINE
A strategy game with great music in which the player tries to set off explosions in chain reactions. There are 12 levels. I finished them all, but it took some time.
BALL BOUNCE
MAKE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AS THERE ARE MORE OPTIONS THAN YOU MIGHT THINK! I finished the game and got a score of “6911″. I’m sure that’s pretty low as you are judged based on time and I was sloooooooow.
MONKEY KICK
There are a bunch of versions of this game floating around. I spent a bunch of time playing a version that was much harder (Oh well!). To get a video of your high score (for proof!) click on “Challenge Your Monkey Friends”. You will be directed to a url with a permanent video! My high score so far: 5621 Monkey Meters!

After a mere 14 hour training session I posted a score of 5621
I kick monkey ball good
