Nice. I've really missed stupid/short games like these.

Most Flash games have a separate instruction box for what keys to press. Any way to add this?

Yup, this is definitely one of the features I'd like to add in next!

The very first game I got (multitasking) started out interesting, and then at one point asked me to use the WASD keys.

I'm sure I'm part of an irrelevant minority, but it always bothers me when it's just assumed I can use these keys, when I'm actually not on a QWERTY keyboard (and not anything fancy like Dvorak either, just an AZERTY). Especially since I had already engaged some time in the game, only to be forced to fail later.

This is great. I usually use Stumbleupon for this which gives me games of any genre (other than simple fun games like these) which can be a pain sometimes. I commend you good sir.

So like the top bar has three buttons. The f, that's Facebook for sharing with your friends. The bird, it's Twitter, for tweeting to the public. And the +? that's Google+, where Circles make it easy to share the right things with the right people, just like in real life. Yay. Click. Oops. Nope. The + is to add a game. Ok.

I played the bomb game - love the squeaky voices. Because their voices are so weak but short-lasting, I feel superior but not awful. Nice subtle psychological manipulation for increased engagement :).

This is cool, but it preloads the "next" game and often an ad starts playing right away, which is super annoying.

Or the title music for the next game...

Heh did anyone else take like 14 rounds to figure out that you're supposed to go through hole(s) in the shape and not around it...?

Very nice, but please remove the confirmation for leaving the page. It's really annoying.

Or add a toggle switch somewhere for people that would like it
