I have another great Flash game to share with you today. It’s simply called The Space Game, or TSG by its creator, CasualCollective.
TSG puts you in the middle of asteriod fields. Your goal is to either mine enough minerals or survive enemy attack long enough to pass each mission. This sounds simple, but it is actually quite complex while still being managable.
I’m very sorry for the late posts the past couple of days. Things have been quite busy, and I just haven’t had enough time to finish things up on time.
Today I’d like to introduce you to Auditorium.
Auditorium is a audio/visual logic puzzle Flash game. In the game, you have to use the different tools given to you to redirect the particle stream. As you begin to redirect the stream into specific collectors, specific sounds start to increase in volume. As you fill up all the collectors, you are rewarded with a beautiful symphonic sound.
Not only is Auditorium an intriguing challenge, it is both beautiful and a pleasure to listen to. There are times where I don’t want to successfully pass the level so that I can keep hearing the symphonic sound unique to that level.
You can play the first few levels for free. For a mere $10.99, you can get access to all the levels.
I highly recommend that all you puzzle and music fans try Auditorium out. I can’t be held responsible for addiction.
In one of my earlier posts, I talked about setting up Ubuntu 64-bit on my Dell Studio 17 laptop. I provided some information on how I set up Flash on my system. This solution used the 32-bit release version of Adobe’s Flash plugin and nspluginwrapper to allow the 32-bit plugin to be used with the 64-bit version of Firefox. I had just a few problems with this solution:
- Google Analytics would crash the entire browser if I tried to change the date range.
- Hulu would always take at least a minute to load any video. Full length videos would sometimes take as long as five minutes to load.
- Youtube would often times not work correctly.
- Random parts of certain Flash applications would not work at all.
- The new Hearts of Space Flash player didn’t work.
- All too often, all Flash apps would fail. This resulted in every instance of Flash being replaced with a light-gray background.
Fortunately, I found a great solution to this problem: an actual 64-bit Adobe Flash Plugin.

Today I recommend that you try out Shopping Cart Hero.
The last Flash game that I posted about was all about logic. This one is all about silly, pointless fun.
Try your best to maximize the distance, height, and style points as you ramp your cart into the air. Upgrade your cart to improve it’s ability to roll, attach rocket boosters, add groupies, and unlock tricks to build up the greatest amount of points possible.
Can you get a cart full of groupies in space?
I often enjoy simple games more than complex games. Grid is the latest time killer that I’ve found and became quickly addicted to.
Grid is a spin off of the old style circuit games where you have to get all the pieces connected in just the right order to form a circuit. The exception is that Grid requires you to connect every connector to some other connector. Each “grid” only has one solution, so you have to get it just right in order to move on to the next level.
