Do you feel like not doing your work and procrastinating sometimes?
Well, have I got what you need. Online games! That’s right, addictive online games are always a good way to waste your time.
Here are a couple of my favorites (in no particular order):
Winterbells

Winterbells is a very soothing game where you make a bunny hope on little bells. The higher you go, the more challenging it gets. The background music is also a plus.

Drench
Drench: http://www.flashbynight.com/drench/
Drench is a simple game where you have to “drench” the entire board in one color. Don’t be deceived by it’s simplicity, once you get past the first few levels, it gets really tricky. Again, this has no background music, so you might want to put something on while you play.
Guess the Colors
Guess the Colors: http://www.gamesforthebrain.com/game/guesscolors/
Guess the Colors is one of those games that makes you think. It’s a good way to waste time but exercise your brain at the same time! (Note: The colored pegs can, and do, repeat. So keep that in mind when making guesses)
Click Maze 2
Click Maze 2: http://www.freepuzzlegames.biz/game/103/Click-Maze-2.html
I don’t know what Click Maze 1 was like, but Click Maze 2 is fun. The first round is really simple, but then you start getting into moving walls, and that’s where it starts to get difficult. It’s a pretty mindless game, but fun nonetheless.
Cat Gets 100 Stars
Cat Gets 100 Stars:
http://www.nekogames.jp/mt/2009/05/cat_gets_100_stars.html
The premise of this game is really simple. You control a cat. Find all 100 stars, and you win! As you can see, there clearly isn’t 100 stars on the screen. Can you find the others? The game only has this 1 level, but it’s really satisfying when you find all the stars.
Dice Wars

Dice Wars is a bit like Risk, only there aren’t any special pieces and no countries. It’s really fun and addicting. Give it a try.
Captain Forever
Captain Forever: http://www.captainforever.com/captainforever.php
The premise of the game is really interesting. You pilot this ship and destroy other ships. Once you destroy them, you can augment your ship with their debris. Eventually, you can build it up into something like what you see to the left. Here’s some background game story info: http://www.captainforever.com/readme.php.
Desktop Tower Defense
Desktop Tower Defense: http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/Game.asp
The goal of the game is to defend the desktop from the creeps by building towers. There is some strategy involved in placing your towers, so plan it out well.
Bugs
Bugs: http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/bugs.htm
Another game from Orisinal. As per their trend, this game is another relaxing/soothing game, especially with the nice music. Click once to charge your jump (make sure none of the bugs touch your bubble), then let go and jump (making sure not to land on any bugs). Any bugs in your jump bubble fly away and you get points!
THE MISSILE GAME 3D
The Missle Game 3D: http://www.addictinggames.com/missilegame3d.html
Test your skills of dexterity in 3D! Navigate a missile through a tunnel with obstacles. I just found this game, and it’s a lot of fun.
That’s about it for now. I’ll update this post if I find more interesting online games.
Do you have any favorite online games? Let me know in the comments!
