So this morning I'm driving to work, and my truck suddenly gets louder. Much louder. Like a jet airplane. I've long suspected a crack somewhere in my exhaust system, because of a muffled noise, but this morning the muffling was gone and my engine was as loud as an engine gets. A crack? Nay, a major rupture in the down pipe from the exhaust manifold. At least that's what I think the guy with dollar signs for eyes told me just a little while ago! That turned today into a sort of Monday, and I need Friday Flash Games more than ever!
Every Friday, whether my truck is working well or sitting in the shop, I present three or more games that you can play, so long as you have a web browser with the Adobe Flash Player. If you don't have Flash installed, well, you've got bigger problems than I do with my truck!
To avoid the sort of surprise I got within a few blocks of my office this morning, I'll warn you ahead of time when there is music or sound, so you have a chance to adjust your volume before your coworkers, classmates, or concubines realize you're playing a game when you should be... whatever.
XRaye is a smoothly polished game which demands that you spin a wrench. From nut to nut you spin, using the Control key to skip over some nuts and the space bar to let go completely and just go flying through the air.
The key is to tighten (or loosen; the game doesn't care) each of the nuts on the screen by swinging on it. Some glowing nuts require more than one swing, and things do get progressively tricky.
Each level has a code that lets you restart at that level, though you always seem to back up one level when you use a code. The game also remembers where you left off, so you don't have to worry yourself by remembering code words. There is both music and sound in this highly refined game.
