Free your Viking friends encased in ice - Time Waster


Nothing makes me feel better about -40 degree temperatures outside my house than seeing cartoonish people actually frozen solid.

Ice Breaker is an addictive little Flash game where your goal is to free your Viking comrades from their icy prisons. To do it, slice off chunks of ice so that they slide (or fall) into the waiting ship. The brutish fellow with the hammer will then break the ice and free his friends.

It's a simple enough game, but make sure you eyeball the course before you cut a viking loose - you may need to modify his path first so he doesn't, say, fall into a nasty crevasse as in the screenshot. Fortunately, you can restart the level and try again.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
