Monkey Island

Monkey Island is a far more challenging game than it appears. Your goal is to collect bananas by hopping from island to island, but that can be tricky. Move your monkey by clicking on the mouse. The length of time you hold down the mouse button determines how far you'll jump. You can only see the island you're on and a little of the space around it though, so be careful to memorize the map at the beginning of each level, or you may find yourself jumping out into the ocean!

Shift

Shift is not your average puzzle platformer. It starts out simple enough... arrow keys to run, space bar to move, collect keys to open locks, and get your guy to the door to move on to the next level. But then things get a little strange and you learn about shifting... When you hit the space bar, all of the positive space and negative space is reversed. For those who don't follow, that means that if the floor and walls are black and the air is white, the whole map flips and now the white parts are the floor and walls and the black is the air. Use this to your advantage to find your way through each level and move on to bigger and more complex puzzles.

Draw Play

In Draw Play, you get to draw your own levels! Well, mostly. The obstacles are already there, and getting over, under, around and through them can prove to be quite tricky. This game is sure to challenge the creative thinker in everyone.

Snow Drift

The platformer Snow Drift is a great little game with a lot of heart. You play as a Yeti who must run, jump and slide it's way through level after level, knocking down penguins and bowling over enemies as you go.

Featured Game: Mr. Mothball

From the Casual Gameplay Design Competition at Jay is Games comes Mr. Mothball, a scroll-free platformer where you play as -- yep you guessed it -- a mothball. That aside, the game is rather pretty in a dingy, unique kinda way. The controls are simple: arrow keys to move and jump. The objective is easy: collect all of the coins and move to the next level. So what are you waiting for? Go give it a try!
