Valentine & Cupid

Time for another Minoto game. This one's a bit romantic, what with Valentine's Day being just round the corner and all. No, the picture isn't all that representative.

Get to grips with American Footie

Pro Football

We know nothing about American Football, other than that "the best dee-fense is a good oh-ffense" and you should always go long. Miniclip's Pro Football is still absolutely comprehensible. In fact, it's incredibly addictive.

There are two stages. First you've got to score a touchdown by bulldozing your way across a field sprinkled with defenders. Then you've got to kick the ball between those two shiny post things. All this is achieved with the arrow keys and Z.

If you prefer the English variety (and zombies), try something from Mousebreaker.

Toy robots go time-travelling

Chronotron

Anyone out there read Calvin and Hobbes comics? There's an absolutely brilliant strip where the boy and his stuffed tiger go time-travelling. You should probably go read it. Then come back here and play this.

In Chronotron, you play a robot rocking a broken Tardis lookalike. Spare parts for the latter are scattered across the game's 35 levels (with another five available on Kongregate). To recover them, you'll need to create "clones" of yourself by repeatedly warping back in time.

Run and jump with the arrow keys, and hit space bar next to the time machine itself to do the timewarp (again). Be careful not to trap your past selves - everybody needs to make it back to the machine eventually.

No clone can run as fast as this one. Try Paradox Embrace for more meddling with dimensions.

Grinning fruit threatened by hailstones, again

Cover Orange 2

Cover Orange 2 is Cover Orange with mildly fancier visuals and a "2" on the end. No bad thing in our book - sheltering fruit from inexplicably wrathful storm clouds never gets old.

Click to drop objects around or on top of your spherical charges, protecting them from the elements. The fruit have ickle weeny arms now with which to wave happily should you shield them adequately, or gesticulate in agony should you fail to do so.

Do babies dream of flying hotdogs?

Babies Dream of Dead Worlds

What do newborn infants dream of? Their imaginations have no memories to draw on, save those of the womb, no intricate, fertile aggregate of neuroses and prejudices.

Perhaps they dream of sheer darkness, stasis. Or perhaps they dream of winged sausages jumping on blocks.

Gregory Weir is the mind behind the slightly more straightforward but equally earnest Grow Your Own Dragon.

Trapped in a broken spaceship with... some boobs

Space Oddity 2

The Space Oddity series continues. All's not terribly well aboard the USS Mysteriously Adrift In Asteroid Field. True, the percentage of cleavage on display has increased, but so too has the percentage of dreadful killing machine. That computer has the right idea.

The puzzles have got a lot simpler, being less of the crack-the-code nature and more of the find-this-and-use-it-on-this dispensation. As before, the gorgeously eldritch art style is a bit confusing.

Try Foreign Creature 2 and I Remain if your thirst for eerie scenarios remains unslaked.
