I do enjoy online browser games, they don't usually take up much time and can be quickly accessed from your browser. Yet I have trouble finding something unique, most of the stuff is just a copy of a copy of a copy and so on.

If someone knows any fun and fairly unique online browser games, I'd really appreciate it. (I'm really, really bored right now :D)

    I seem to remember that there were some pretty interesting platformers and arcade games on Neopets once upon a time. I think you can also play them without, you know, having to actually have a pet.

    Personally, I'm a fan of Destructomatch III which, while not unique in the slightest, is very fun and has explosions.

    Might as well throw in something, that had me hooked for quite a while, couple of years ago:
    Urban Rivals.

    On my bookmarks I have...

    Auditorium (free to play for a few levels, then it's pay)
    McDonalds Video Game (if you don't mind all the political "oh my god the food industry is TERRIBLE" signals, it's a fun little game)
    Pigs Can Fly
    Robot Unicorn Attack (a classic, but I'm sure Adult Swim has some other good ones if I give them a try, I think I enjoyed "Victorian BMX" as well)
    Sushi Cat

    And then I also have Homestar Runner's game page on there.

    I used to play a lot of browser games back in the day, so I'm sure there's a lot more I can't remember. :T I'll probably watch out for this thread as well for new ones

    It's a rip off of Crush the Castle.

    I've only played the prologue, but The Several Journeys of Reemus looks pretty decent. It's similar to Samorost gameplaywise and there are three parts in addition to the prologue.

    Then of course there's The Dream Machine. I'm surprised it's only been mentioned once on these forums before. Only the first episode is free, but I'd say it's worth paying for the entire series, even if it seems to take them a year to finish each episode. Episode 3 is supposed to come in early October, and I'm really looking forward to it. The game is made in clay animation and that works really well with the dark atmosphere in the game.

    Cockroach.se who is making the game, also made the fairly decent browser puzzle games Gateway I and II.

    Because it's a mass market. As always, you have to search the gems with a magnifying glass. Take a look at little wheel, for example. They are out there to find for the fearless internet explorer who wades through two hundred crappy browser games to find a decent one.

    I suggest trying the Double Fine games Tasha's Game and Host Master and the Conquest of Humor, if you haven't played them already.

    The former is a puzzle platformer where you place various kinds of platforms (static, vertical or horizontal moving, and trampoline) to get through the stages. The latter is an adventure game modeled after the Monkey Island era SCUMM games where you play Tim Schafer as he looks around his hotel room for jokes to use in his Game Developer's Conference speech. Both games are funny, and a lot of fun to play. :)

    There are several good experimental adventure games that I've played.

    One is One Chance, which I won't say much about. You really do get just "one chance", as the browser won't let you replay it, so choose wisely.

    I also like Time Fcuk. It feels a lot like Portal, and the music is really memorable.
