While I'm not normally one who gets wrapped up in click-and-find Flash games, I couldn't stay away from HeadSpin Storybook. The artwork is fantastic, and I love the concept.
The game centers around a pop-up book. Your goal is to create a perfectly mirrored reflection of the objects on the left-hand page by clicking items on the right. You'll have 30 seconds to complete each level.
It sounds simple enough, but as the number of objects increases and their details become more subtle the game turns into a real workout for the eyes and mind. Since it's like a pop-up book, you'll also have to do a bit of guessing from time to time since some objects will be hidden behind others.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Grammar pet peeve: things "center on" something... they don't "center around" It just doesn't make sense.
