An escape game that is heavy on story and light on escaping, since the goal is not to leave the room but to find a time capsule left by your now deceased wife to celebrate what would have been your 10th wedding anniversary. Even if you don't have a sentimental bone in your body The Time Capsule is still a lot of puzzle packed into a small space and definitely fun for any escape fanatic. Let the soothing music clip relax you as you solve puzzles that range from pretty simple to head-banging-hard and enjoy the mid-week escaping challenge.
Created in just 72 hours for Ludum Dare #22, this puzzle game took second place in both innovation and overall competition. Your goal is to eliminate all the tiles on the screen by moving the dual protagonists across the game board, each seemingly on a different planes. As you pass over a color-coordinated square, it disappears, barring further passage, in most instances at least. The lovelorn duo continually gain new abilities, inspired by their circumstances and feelings, adding new dimensions and means to move on. This twist on game mechanics not only keeps it fresh and fun, it makes the narrative truly interesting and enjoyable rather than just words bridging across levels.
TV shows would have us believe that all managers are clueless petty little tyrants. If your superior is one that might be well-served by a kick in the rear, then Origaming has a action launch game for you! My "Dear" Boss stars a set-upon office peon, whose workplace stress reaches such a fever pitch, that his only recourse is to kick his boss through a third story window. For distance. And cash to purchase upgrades. As you might guess, this is a goofy, funny little game, that makes for some good mindless fun.
All The Girl wants is a little time by herself, but that's not going to happen so long as The Bodyguard is on her heels. Luckily, he's prone to distraction, and The Girl isn't above using some rather unusual abilities to her advantage. A short point-and-click puzzle game made in just 72 hours for the Ludum Dare "alone" themed competition that will make you wish it was a whole lot longer.
Rarely are there arcade shooters as epic, gorgeous, playable, and steeped in story as Jamestown. A release from Final Form, Jamestown combines stunning pixel art with a vertically-scrolling top-down shooter (shmup), all set in a 17th century colony on Mars where Spanish Conquistadors have teamed up with native Martians to keep the new settlers away. What you end up with is a superb arcade game that's easy for beginners to get into but still a challenge to master.

Bringing in the end of 2011 with a happy little ring, the 22nd Ludum Dare competition challenged participants to make a game based on a given theme within a 48 hour time frame. Over 700 entries were submitted, and after some rounds of user voting, everything has been ranked and categorized according to awesomeness. We've featured a few of our favorites below, each one representing the compo's "alone" theme quite nicely!
- • Split Party!
- • One Final Trek
- • Stray Whisker
Symphony is a simplified adaptation of the popular music puzzle game Auditorium. Control the colorful streams of light into the target boxes by positioning the arrows to fill them with music.
MoonMana offers up simple but undeniably lovely arcade playing with this hypnotic game about catching stars and... no, that's about it, really. While there isn't much to them, both Stellar Hunter games are beautiful and satisfying in that way you sometimes just want that feels specifically designed to make you relax with a smile on your face.
Legend tells us of King Midas, granted a gift by Pan that all he would touch would turn to gold. The tale is the inspiration for Midas, a puzzle platform game by Wanderlands, and overall winner of the Ludum 22 Game Jam. In it, you must guide the king to his love, but not before you reach the river that will wash him of his "gift". The theme for the competition was "Alone", a word that's perfectly captured by this short, challenging, and even poignant game.
In 1993, a new star appeared on the NES horizon. A big man with big dreams, big muscles, a big mustache and no shirt, Abobo had nowhere to go but up. Recently however, he was lured back to spotlight by a team of developers, including ThePoxBox, Pesto Force, JackSmack, and the guys at I-Mockery, hoping to make the ultimate love letter to the Nintendo Entertainment System. The result it Abobo's Big Adventure, a retro arcade action-adventure game years in the making. It's a bold, brassy, over-the-top labor of love that pushes 8-bit nostalgia to its very limit.
Kanoti's short point-and-click puzzle might be aimed primarily at young kids, but that doesn't mean anyone can't enjoy it! Play as an assistant to the official Hot Chocolate Dude (yes, that's now his official name) attempting to deliver the royal frothing spoon before the King gets his daily cup. Short but definitely sweet, this is one game that's exceptionally easy but also packs in a lot of charm and silliness.
Should you have a yen for social studies trivia, Trip Alone The Globe, an arcade game by Symbio Digital, will more than satisfy that worldy desire. It's a simple challenge of collecting trivia questions, then driving a (somewhat difficult to maneuver) car to the proper location to score points. The graphics are pretty (if a little CPU-intensive), the questions are goofy, but clever, and while the game take only a couple of minutes to play, they'll be good minutes. All that's missing is Rockapella on the soundtrack.
Heaven is just beyond the city skyline! Or at least that's what the mechanical porker starring in this cute but simple launch game believes. Help our hero to fly out of the city to Pig Paradise by shooting him out of a cannon, causing massive property damage along the way, and purchase various upgrades to get you there faster. That'll do, pig.
When some despicable and toothy crooks burst into your village and make off with your people's most prized possession - a powerful wok which fell from the heavens one day in a cloud of smoke and fire - it's up to you to get it back in this whimsical point-and-click puzzler. Click around on each scene to interact with various objects and figure out how to successfully navigate past hungry monsters, deadly traps, and lava-filled caverns in your quest to recover your stolen mystical cookware.
Sometimes Cloudy Challenge, by Haretoki, is a fresh, fun, and fabulous Japanese escape game. The space is small and cramped, less a room and more of a large closet. Crammed within the confines are a plethora of strange and wonderful devices, each one more mysterious than the last. Take the plunge and enjoy a small yet meaty escape that is sure to tickle your logic circuits and prompt at least one "wow, cool!" moment before you're done.
Whodunnit? Well, if the clues are anything to go by, it looks like YOU'RE the murderer this time. But is all as it seems? Play in reverse in this creepy little point-and-click puzzler to find out how things got so bloody, and whether you're really a cold hearted, evil little creature... or just someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Like to share your candy? One look at the big, dewy eyes of Om Nom might just convince you to. ZeptoLab's iOS smash hit physics puzzle swings into your browser via the impressive power of HTML5. Slice through ropes with the flick of a mouse and deliver the candy to the wee beastie below, avoiding obstacles and nabbing stars along the way. A simple concept with a beautiful presentation and a whole lot of charm makes this one the perfect treat for coffee break style gaming.
You know what are always enjoyable? RC Tanks, especially ones that you can use to fire things at your least-favorite sibling. It took Emitter Critter to realize how this universal archetype of fun might translate well to flash form, and the result is the new top-down shooter, Awesome Tanks. It's nothing too complicated: Shoot stuff. Get coins. Buy upgrades. But when so many arena games are drenched with gore or zombie blood (not that there's anything wrong with that!), it's always cool to see polished genre works that are "kid-friendly" without feeling too "kiddy". Awesome Tanks' fifteen levels have the combination of frenetic action and colorful explosions that all ages should enjoy.
Dateline: Quadrilopolis. To the world at large, mild-mannered office worker Cube Kent seems to do nothing more than work at the office of Office Work Incorporated. However, due to a mysterious accident as a young involving a radioactive chemistry set, whenever there is a call for help, he need only to duck into a convenient telephone booth to become... Square Hero! NDGames' Champion of justice, and puzzle platforming protagonist extraordinaire! He's here in his poly-bagged, holographic, foil-embossed, varient-covered, action-packed first issue, and while it's not quite Eisner Award-worthy for innovation, it's definitely a fun romp, true believers.
Awem Studio has done it again, putting together a prequel sequel to the fun title, The Island: Castaway. In The Island: Castaway 2, play as the young tribesman, Yati, as he travels around the island during a time when everything was whole and right, just before any 'strangers' came. Using the same interface that worked for them before, Awem Studio offers another great simulation game that weaves a tale of wonder and mysticism.
A crazy, multiplayer romp through a visually lush game featuring three moderately-mad fantasy characters with their own unique abilities? Show us where to sign and we'll be there! Actually, now that you mention it, Trine 2 happens to be all of the things described above, plus a whole lot more. It's got action, it's got physics puzzles, it's got both single- and online multiplayer modes, and it's got a sense of humor that will probably remind you of Magicka. It's a modern-day version of The Lost Vikings, and any gamer will be proud to experience the world Trine 2 has to offer!

A bountiful harvest of platform games? Sure, why not?! They're sort of the trail mix of the gaming realm. They're everywhere, and there are so many different flavors you can barely choose one to munch on at a time. Some of them have unsavory elements (like coconut flakes, who puts that in trail mix?!), but others are irresistibly delicious with all those banana chips and almonds and tiny bits of chocolate...
- • Bomb Detective
- • Seraphim Flame
All That Matters is a puzzle platformer that takes its inspiration from games like The Company of Myself and Limbo while remaining unique in its own ways. You must maneuver the five Greer family members, each with his or her own abilities and handicaps, through twenty-five deviously tricky obstacle courses while collecting as much love (hearts) as possible. Doing so unlocks bonus levels and achievements. If that's not enough, make your own levels with the editor. All That Matters is not only creative and heartfelt, it's endlessly fun. When was the last time you had so much fun with family?
A ghost, a wolf, a dark and isolated castle, and possibly even a werewolf? Looks like you've got your hands full in the latest hidden object hybrid from Elephant Games, Grim Tales: The Legacy. A sequel to Grim Tales: The Bride, the story and setting are connected between the two games, only this time around, you're stalking through a castle while a peculiar wolf hunts you from the shadows.
Ever wanted to be the king (or queen!) or everything? How about as a reason to blow everything up? This adorable, frantic arena shooter packs tons of action, upgrades, enemies, bosses, and even power-ups into one simple but explosively fun experience to keep you on your toes.
BUGS. Who needs 'em? Especially face-eating, acid-spitting, lurking-in-dimly-lit-corridor-ing bugs! Those are the worst! Blast you way through hordes of enemies in this atmospheric horror shooter that contains a lot of familiar elements, but also one very well done presentation. Upgrade weapons, complete challenges, and maybe even find out the secret of the cryptic "Owl Men"... they're so very hungry...
Bored with your job? Not enough potential petrification or deadly skewering in your life? Then why not try out a career as a tomb explorer in this charming little isometric puzzler? Spicing up familiar gameplay with appealing visuals and vicious obstacles, it makes for a solid chunk of gaming and allows you to craft your own levels for other would-be archaeologists to get lost in.
Japanese, Dghgbakufu, is one designer who combines simple yet beautiful visuals with challenging puzzles. There's no narration, no story, no music. Just a room. With puzzles. Logical puzzles. And sometimes that's all we need out of a decent escape game.
Soothing is the best descriptor of a Tomatea game, and Snowflake Night fits right into that oeuvre with its serene backgrounds, lilting music, and gentle puzzles. Start up the game and let the overall experience wash away any mid-week frustrations as you navigate around the beautiful space and let the calming music flow as you skip lightly from one puzzle to the next. Had a rough week at work or school? Stressed out waiting for the weekend? Take a deep breath, let it out, and experience the joy of Snowflake Night, a calming experience no matter what the reason.
Goime 500, a platformer by Cary Huang, might look a heck of a lot like Achievement Unlocked. And, with its 500 achievements to earn for every tiny little action, it plays a lot like it too. Comparisons are, of course, inevitable, but its webtoy feel and whimsical humor certainly helps make up for its lack of premise-innovation.
Alone. A word that has both good and bad connotations. For Matt Rix' Ludum Dare entry, it's a goal. In The Word Alone, you are given a Boggle-esque board where you are tasked to eliminate all the other letters to leave just 'A', 'L', 'O', 'N' and 'E'. Do you have the word and spatial genius to accomplish this?
Developed in 8 weeks as a class project, Orpheus is a puzzle platform retelling of the classic myth of a man's quest to bring his love back from the dead. Players who can look past a few rough edges will be amply rewarded with the lush and abstract yet accessible art.
Raise your hand if you've heard this one before: The evil Dr. Mad has corrupted the programming of six thematic robots and has sent them out to do his bidding, each utilizing a weapon that would be suspiciously effectively against exactly of their evil kin. The only thing possibly standing in Mad's way is the new creation of the good Dr. Thane: the high-jumping, fast-dashing, laser-blasting, ability-stealing Rokko Chan! Okay, Japanese developer King admittedly isn't exactly trying to hide the inspirations for his retro platformer. But if Rokko Chan may look and play like a ROM hack, then it is a very lovingly crafted one of high quality.
Making Monkeys is just as charming and quirky as Greg Sergeant's previous game Use Boxmen. With only 11 true levels, this puzzle platformer is definitely brief, but it works well as a coffee break game, maybe along with some monkey-shaped toast and a banana.
When Sam's girlfriend Anna is kidnapped after his articles in the local newspaper about a crazed maniac begin to get too close to the truth, he has no other options but to bow to the madman's demands and come alone to an old mansion on the edge of town. What he finds inside is both disturbing and strange, but if he wants to save Anna and make it out alive he'll have to master the puzzles and unlock the truth behind the kidnappings. A somewhat campy but extremely entertaining hidden-object adventure that will keep you wrapped up for hours in a surreal, dramatic world.
A New Beginning is a classically-styled adventure game from the well-respected Hamburg-based publisher and developer Daedalic Entertainment. With A New Beginning, the team has created a great-looking game that's billed as an "eco thriller", two words you wouldn't necessarily want associated with each other. But halfway through the prologue, you'll realize Daedalic pulled it off, as A New Beginning successfully combines socially aware environmental messages with a smart, puzzle-driven storyline.
If you're a logic puzzle fan (both paper-and-pencil and electronic, alike), you've probably heard of a little game called picross. It's a crossword puzzle meets number logic with an artsy twist. Fugazo brings their puzzles to you in the next installment of their popular series, World Mosaics V, where you find a familiar experience with a new storyline and, of course, 100s of new puzzles!

How about some diversions for the last day of the year? Two games pulled from the recent Ludum Dare compo, both of which share some of the same basic ideas and gameplay directions but end up being very different from each other, Then, just to make sure you're paying attention, a totally different game! Wow!

According to popular myth, werewolves are pretty much all over the place, leading normal lives just like the rest of us tax-paying citizens. For the most part, they're pretty normal. Walking around, visiting Starbucks, and maybe even holding the door for you when your hands are full. But when it's the full moon, werewolf kind has a difficult time blending in. And we're not just talking about the smell! In the new hidden object adventure game from ERS Game Studio, Shadow Wolf Mysteries: Bane of the Family, you get to dive a bit deeper into the family structure of a family of werewolves, learning all about their curse and how this odd transformation travels from parents to children.
From Strawberry Café, here's a brisk escape-the-room game just for kicks! Bunny is chillin' with his shades on and there is some funky tropical Christmasy New Year's partyesque thing going on here. So hack into the computer, pick up some clues and solve the requisite puzzles so you can get out of this place.
Trigger Knight is an experimental one-button RPG where your mouse button is all you need to keep a cute little warrior upgraded and healthy as she relentlessly charges towards the right side of the screen. A nice proof-of-concept that's fun for a coffee break and hopefully a precursor to a more fleshed-out version later.
Joy to the world, a new Plexus puzzle has come! Let us receive the jigsaw! It's never too late for some jolly good puzzling fun, and this latest treat from the puzzle providers at Plexus has jolly sprinkled all over it. A PieceFull Christmas contains familiar images you might expect to see around Christmas time, including a decorated tree, presents, elves, and jolly old St. Nick himself. Perhaps the fact that this is a Plexus puzzle you can overlook the fact that it's no longer Christmas time.
Ever heard the expression, "They're more afraid of you than you are of them?" If we're talking about zombies trapped in an explosive physics puzzle game and you're armed with grenades, it's probably true. While it doesn't really offer anything new, the quirky presentation as the zombies chatter at you makes this a simple, silly treat.
Green spandex? Human beetles? Questionable silhouettes? It's gotta be a Detarou escape game. Mixing puzzles with strange environments and stranger characters, it has all the surreal oddities you've come to expect, plus three endings to discover.
A sidescrolling, action platformer with RPG elements set in the Epic Battle Fantasy world. It has the same set of characters as his previous titles, with Natalie being kidnapped by a big, bad guy driving a big, bad tank. It's up to you, as Matt, to travel through worlds of enemies, coins and chests galore to save her. Twenty levels of fun await you (perhaps along with some bonuses...), and each level contains 100 gold coins and 10 chests to find.
It's a truth universally acknowledged that a single lunch in possession of a good screwdriver must be in want of a sequel. So it is with Dismantlement: Box Lunch 2, the perfectly explosive follow up to the first box lunch dismantlement surprise. As with the first, this Dismantlement is on the easy side yet still likely to cause more than a few "face palm" moments amongst its players out there. Nevertheless, it is an irresistibly satisfying bite-sized bit of a point-and-click fun. Dig in and enjoy!
The bouncy blue elephant is back for another installment in the wildly popular puzzle platform series! There's just one level in this whole game... but once you get to the end have you really beaten it? Packed with riddles, pastries, challenges, and even a little bullet action, it's the perfect way to spend your free time.
Popular developer Mateusz Skutnik wishes us all a Happy New Year with another entry in his "Where Is..." series of New Year's games! In this installment, players help a gnomish-looking Santa find the infant personification of the new year. The adventure-platforming gameplay is fun, if not particularly difficult; and the quirky character design, watercolor background art, and atmospheric music and sound are all quite engaging.
Imagine if And Yet It Moves with smooth world tilting instead of 90 degree shifts, and instead of being a little dude, you're a little ball, so your big choices are to rotate one way or another way, except you also have a fire charge skill and you can stick to walls and you can shoot lightning and also drag scenery... yeah, Sideroller throws a lot of puzzle platform mayhem at you very quickly, but that just makes it more fun.
If there's anything Christmas specials have told us, it's that the big man at the North Pole is notoriously bad at managing his assets. In Tesshi-e's holiday escape this year, Santa has lost ten of the Happy Coins he's supposed to give the children, and in The Happy Escape it's up to you to find them and save Christmas once again. Tesshi-e has come through with a spectacular escape this time, as per usual; the puzzles flow perfectly and logically, the sounds and graphics are charming, and although there's still no changing cursor, you never really have to do any pixel-hunting.
It never hurts to have a dream. Unless, of course, your dream is to be repeatedly shot out of a cannon, crashing into various boosters and blockers, so as to earn money for the purchasing of upgrades. That might end up hurting quite a bit. Canoniac Launcher is a new Toss The Turtle-style action game. While unbalanced upgrades and unclear objectives mar the experience, its solid presentation and gorgeous art helps it stand as a hilarious blast of a game.
Knuckle Cracker's Creeper World 2: Academy introduces you to a whole new experience. Rather than the top-down view of the original Creeper World, you're given a side view which, at the very least, offers an easier visual of creeper depth. With both an interactive tutorial at the beginning of levels and the same control setup as previous games, it's a cinch to pick up even if you're new to beating back the creeper.
This sequel to Lucas Paakh's William and Sly is a vast, richly layered feast for the eyes. While gameplay remains much the same, there are also marked changes (improvements as far as most players will be concerned): no more darklings or boss battles yet plenty of exploration, item gathering, and questing. Gaining helpful abilities involves your platforming and puzzle-solving skills to add just the right amount of gameplay into what is a sumptuous work of interactive art.
Interactive art has a reputation for being light on the challenge, but These Robotic Hearts of Mine, a puzzle game by Alan Hazelden definitely shows that it doesn't have to be. It's a simple game of gears and direction... one that I would love to see re-created in the physical space of a gallery. However, each solution presents another line in a story of technology, hearts and heartbreak. The puzzles alone would be fine, and the elegy is affecting. However, the combination fits like one hand into another.
Verge is a puzzle platformer originally developed by Kyle Pulver (maker of Depict1) for a TIGSource game competition, and now ported to flash by Kristian Macanga. Its tone can best be described with the HP Lovecraft quote that was the game's inspiration: Life and Death - Death-its desolation and horror-bleak spaces-sea-bottom-dead cities. But Life-the greater horror! Vast unheard-of reptiles and leviathans-hideous beasts of prehistoric jungle-rank slimy vegetation-evil instincts of primal man-Life is more horrible than death. The twin opposing horrors of life and death is a haunting, challenging concept, and thus it should be no surprise that it makes for a haunting, challenging game... one where death and rebirth is the only way to progress.
Q.U.B.E.: Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion is one of those special games you don't get to see as often as you would like. It's a first person puzzle game, which is rare enough in its own right, but then you combine that with a stark method of storytelling, creative use of environmental puzzles, and an interface that's as smooth as the shiny blocks that make up the levels. What you're left with is a thoroughly satisfying game with masterfully designed puzzles from beginning to end.
Pity the poor dude who is in charge of Middleshire, one of the areas of the kingdom we first saw in Royal Envoy. First, he's late to the meeting with the king, then all he can report is bad, bad news about the region. The King is not happy about any of this, so he once again appoints someone (as in you, the player) to go and get this poor place redeveloped so that the folks will be happy in Royal Envoy 2, the latest time management amusement from Playrix Entertainment.
Frozen Candy, a holiday match-3 puzzle game from Avox Games, looks a heck of a lot like Puzzle Bobble. In fact, if good ol' dinosaur Bub was on ball-firing duty instead of that Brian Poesehn look-alike of an elf, one could be fooled at a glance for thinking it to be a complete clone. Once you start playing, though, the unique feel of the mechanics allow Frozen Candy to shine as it's own creation, making for something that feels both familiar and innovative.
Draka, the unsavory spider vampire, is at it again and is out to ruin the holidays for everyone by spreading his creepy curse in this physics puzzler! At just twenty levels, it's fairly short, but the weird premise and silly gameplay makes this an excellent anti-holiday treat.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow... and snow... and then snow some more in Snow Tree, this charming little arcade physics game from Alexey Izvalov. Control the snowfall by clicking and dragging with the mouse to create invisible air currents, directing the flakes into a tidy pile to form a delicate, branching, and ever-growing tree (keeping the white stuff away from your front door and driveway in the process). Pile the snow as high and efficiently as you can to build your score, and snag some of those neatly wrapped presents floating high in the clouds to earn extra points and increase the maximum amount of snowflakes available to build with.

While the claim of holding a thousand doors may be a little much, Alawar's casual adventure game House of 1000 Doors: Family Secret is certainly packed with family secrets, not to mention a twisted plot that reveals information about as slowly as an episode of Lost. The story is the star, but the gameplay pulls its own weight, leaving you feeling confidently thrilled as you crawl through the hallways of the mysteriously vanishing mansion.
In this short yet beautifully artistic puzzle platform adventure decisions become turning points after two basic choices: evolve or destroy? Guide Cadence, the title character, through a series of decisions, each determining how the story continues. Several puzzles are based on those choices and there are two endings to choose from as well. Love's Cadence is as much a thought-provoking poem as a game and should be appreciated for how its graphics, narrative elements and game play coalesce into a melodious composition.
We all know the life of a snowball is short and packed with excitement. But it's not all high flying arcs and battle cries, as Godvil Games shows us in the festive Hide Snowman. Much like the Cover Orange series, your goal is to use the queue of objects (or optionally the ability to delete an existing structure) to put the happy little snowman heads in a safe place to hide them from the melting, hot pellets of the flying wood stove. What are you waiting for? The snowmen are counting on you!
Farmer Vlad has built a paradise for piggies. He sends a letter to the closest litter, inviting them to vacation in his literal hog heaven. Unfortunately, all sorts of danger lies in their path: bears, wolves, birds, UFOs... A reflex platformer by VladG, 300 Miles to Pigsland takes the non-stop gameplay of Canabalt, sends it through the cute-ifier machine and adds a sprinkling of upgrades, making for a fun, if repetitive, time.
You know that itch in the middle of your back that you can't scratch? No, it's not a patch of dry skin, it's your need to play tower defense games. Luckily for you, Char Studio brings you a dose of relief in Cube Tower. Earn stars based on how many of your twenty lives you have at the end of the level. And we all like earning gold stars, right?

Packed with Nitrome's signature style and charm, as well as an out-of-this-world surprise or two, this is a fantastic seasonal installment to a fan-favourite series with a lot of challenge.
This tricky little puzzle platformer will force you to forget any "nobody gets left behind" policies you might have, since someone's gotta bite the bullet for you to win. The Green and Red astronauts are stranded on a planet, and the only way out is for the Reds to nobly sacrifice themselves to open the way forward. A simple but challenging concept when both of them move at once.
It's hard to figure out what just happened. You took a walk in the park, like you do every night. This time though, there was a man... there was a gun. Now you find yourself a dark industrial world of shadowy figures and shifting backgrounds. You'll have to rearrange every single room to have even a chance of escaping... and you just know that time's running out. Five is a puzzle platformer from Z3LF where changing reality comes with the click of the mouse.
Stretch paths to connect numbers of the same color in this fun-filled browser-based puzzle pack from Conceptis. This pack contains 30 brand new puzzles in three sizes (10x10, 15x15, 20x20). These aren't the hardest Link-a-Pix puzzles out there, and they serve as a great introduction to this puzzle type if you've never tried them before. Regardless of your experience level, these path-forming challenges are a great way to spend a good stretch of time.
It's been a while since you've escaped the Playroom, and it seems the little girl who masterminded it has set up yet another difficult escape for you. In Playroom 2, the rather aptly named sequel by Kayzerfish, you've got a new room full of colorful toys and knickknacks to solve your way out of. At least this one has an open-air balcony and a nicer bed. If you're looking for a charming yet challenging escape that taxes your skills just enough to be entertaining, go play in Playroom 2.
Neutral's newest seasonal escape. What more needs to be said? This escape-the-room game, though miniaturized (that little banner at the top of Neutral's web page is the game—click it to begin), is full of the details and enjoyable, logical puzzles that you'd expect from the best escape game designer in the biz. Merry Christmas JIG readers!
Gameplay in Pinata Hunter is simple and distinctive, as you swing your mouse Wii-mote style to bludgeon your quarry for tasty treats. After a few upgrades it's immensely satisfying (and addicting). Like squeezey stress toys, or inflatable punching bags, no one can accuse relentlessly beating on a colorful elephant sculpture for candy to be a deep experience, but you'll hardly care once you can fill the screen with flying candy.
"Winners Use Government Grants!" says the opening screen of Digiwoog Disaster, a new edutainment point and click adventure game. Well, we should be happy that Digiwoog and BoMToons were the winners picked by the US Department of Justice to help kids learn about mobile devices, since they've come up with something really cool.

Santa Lina is an old-fashioned kind of town: big, dark, ugly, and corrupt to its core. One of the small few willing, or even able, to take a stand and protect the helpless is Anaksha, a vigilante sniper dubbed "The Virgo Killer" by the press. A successful businesswoman, the murder of her best friend snapped something in her mind, and so Anaksha took to the streets, a lone huntress with a rifle, dedicated to the destruction of evil, no matter what the cost, ever-pursued by both the police and the criminal elites.

Nations need to brace themselves for a complete loss of productivity as folks all over the world once again become immersed in the major time-suckage that is a bloons tower defense game. Enough talk, time to play Bloons Tower Defense 5!
Box? Wake up!... C'mon, do we have to get out the non-rotatable wooden objects and attach them to surroundings, and let the physics of the situation jostle you awake, like last time? Oh well... guess we do. Wake Up The Box 3 is the latest in Eugene Karataev's popular series of puzzle games. Even if it feels a bit of a step backwards, it remains a very fun coffee break kind of game.
Anything good is always better when there is more of it. So when Candyflame comes out with more Isoball, it's a no-brainer that it's going to be awesome. Merging the joy of a Hot Wheels track, a Lego set and a very fragile glass marble, Isoball X1 adds thirty-six more levels, eighteen hidden achievements and a complex sandbox to the player pleasing physics puzzler. Gameplay sounds simple: devise a route to move the ball from start to finish. Yet this feat is made complicated by a multifarious map, prescribed checkpoints and a limited number of building blocks. When you also take into account fun new pieces, a helpful "how to" menu and keyboard shortcuts, it's easy to see why Isoball X1 is not only compellingly addicting, it's more fun!
Natalie's got big problems. Or at least, to her they're big. With her parents threatening to cut her off unless she gets her priorities straight, the college student has no choice but to take a job over winter break in the sleepy little burg of Fairbrook. Will Natalie emerge at the end of 12 weeks just as aimless and self-absorbed as when she started? Or will the people she meets and the things she experiences drag her kicking and screaming into emotional maturity? A sweet and sentimental little visual novel simulation from Winter Wolves packed with charm and likable characters.
Bundling up indie games is what all the cool kids are doing these days, as is pricing them "pay what you want" while donating portions of the proceeds to charity. But here's something refreshingly different: The 99 Percent Bundle. This totally free collection of indie games aims to highlight some of the lesser-known developers out there, the people who continue to make the games they love and release them for free. It's sort of the indies of the indie community, and it's the perfect way to discover new titles you might have missed over the last few months.
Are you ready for a light science fiction adventure with some nautical flair? Nemo's Secret: Vulcania is an adventure/hidden-object hybrid offering you just that.

Haunty spooky ghosty hidden object adventure games are as common as the dark nights they take place in, but Haunted Past: Realm of Ghosts felt like doing something different. Aside from its well-built interface and crisp visual presentation, Gogii Game's hybrid release offers a different take on traveling between dimensions and hidden objects in general. Instead of just looking for things, you must also hide them, a sort of treasure hunt you play with yourself!
Slip and slide around with Lockehorn, the hero of Nitrome's wintry arcade avoidance game! Your fellow tribesmen have been imprisoned in blocks of ice by evil snow spirits, and it's up to you to save them while trying to avoid the same fate. Push your frozen pals across the temple floor and try to crush all enemies against the wall to open a pit of flame that'll thaw your friends. A seasonal treat that requires a lot of patience, but also offers a lot of charm.
Buagaga, creator of Rich Mine 2, has a holiday gift for you: addictive cut-the-rope fun. Using your precision timing, help the holiday gnome fill his sled with bright ornaments, collecting snowflakes along the way while defeating enemies and overcoming obstacles. This physics puzzle game is packed with thirty levels and a quite a bit of challenge; it's as much entertainment as anything you'd hope to find under the tree!
Alien war rages upon the surface of the moon. But would Santa dare forget those space marines that made it onto the "nice" list? By Kringle's beard, I say thee nay! Even it if means strapping a rocket to his back and launching himself to space, ol' Saint Nick will deliver those gifts if its the last thing he does! Berzerk Studios brings you Santa Rocket, and while not particularly innovative for the arcade launch genre, it is a solid holiday work.
What do you get when you can click an owl to hit a penguin to knock over a sleeping elephant? Why, you get Alma Games' physics puzzler, Snoring 2: Wild West. Your goal is to knock over the sleeping elephant, because he's being quite loud. Each animal has different characteristics, and you interact with some of them by clicking on them. While on the easy side, it's so cute you may just have to grab the nearest kiddo and introduce them to the wonders of physics puzzlers.
Pirouette, a piece of interactive art by Hayden Scott-Baron and increpare, is an infuriating work. Gameplay, which consists of linearly walking and talking to people, leans away from the "interactive", which might lead to the perennial discussion as to whether it qualifies as a game at all. The plot, depicting someone confronting those they loved and those they hurt, is vague and, with its frank talk of sex and toxic relationships, deliberately provocative. And yet... there is beauty to be found here. Pirouette will divide opinion. However, whether your opinion is positive or negative, it will be strongly so, and that can't be a bad thing.
Mike Morin, the creator of the popular Alice is Dead series, returns to the point-and-click adventure scene with this noir-esque mystery game about a private eye who receives a letter from a woman in his past. Seeking her out at a hotel, he finds he may have stumbled into a very strange secret in this beautiful, moody little tale.
Home. It's the only thing E.T. wanted. And to reunite with his robot family is all this adorable mechanical youngster wants in this whimsical point-and-click story from BeGamer. Help him get back to Earth by clicking the right places and in the proper order. Odd-yet-entertaining, although not as strange as Minoto, there's as much fun in watching each scene unfold as in figuring out how to get there.
Life's not easy for the fearsome pirate mercenary antihero Captain Zaron, star of Studio Meristem's adventure game Captain Zaron and the Trials of Doom. His sister Elsa is to be sacrificed at the stroke of midnight as part of a doomsday prophecy that will wipe out the kingdom, and he'll be damned if he's going to let that happen unchallenged. Don't let the cheap graphics fool you, Captain Zaron is a game with meat. It's an compelling adventure game with logical puzzles and the perfect level of challenge.
Wield the awesome power of language in this innovative physics puzzler. Click on different areas of each level and use the keyboard to change the environment, either by typing characters or deleting them, in order to remove the specified text from the screen. You can watch the text plummet by deleting the platform it's resting on, type "water" to make the text float away, or key in "fire" to ignite bombs and blast the text from the screen.
In Dibbles 2: Winter Woes, simply place commands on a field to order the little dibbles to create a path for their king... by killing themselves. Sound gruesome? Shhh. Look at the softly falling snow. All is right with the world. Just repeat "it's for the greater good" until it feels right.
Even if you don't speak Russian you are still probably familiar with matryoshkas, also known as nesting dolls. And just like the dolls this escape game unfolds in layers, each one revealing a lovely little surprise. Despite the fact that it is called a "mini-escape" Matryoshka contains all the bells and whistles expected in a well-designed escape game: easy inventory control, great puzzles, intuitive navigation, and even a save feature. Come and give Matryoshka a try and, even if you're a macho guy, discover the joy of playing with dolls (and escaping).
Something is wrong in Volcania. A mysterious darkness has suddenly befallen the harsh, inhospitable home of a race called the Celheads, and you alone are left to unravel the mystery with only cryptic clues to guide you in this clever and engaging puzzle platformer.
Haven't you always wanted to lord it over an entire tower, Trump-style? Well in Theme Hotel from Toffee Games you can do just that. Inspired by games such as SimTower and Theme Hospital, this simulation game puts you in charge of building a hotel from the ground up and taking it all the way to five stars.
We live in slightly unbalanced times. But you know what? That's not always a bad thing, especially when Ttursas is at the helm. Imperfect Balance 3, the latest in the physics puzzler series of odes to ultimate unsturdiness, has just come out, and it's shakiness is nothing but awesome. Imperfect Balance 3 may not be a reinvention of the formula, but it's a solid level pack that will appeal to fans of the series.
Like Portal? So do the folks at HighUp Studio, who openly took inspiration from it to craft this challenging little puzzle platformer about robots put to the test. While Invertion may not be an entirely unique game, it definitely offers a test of your patience, perseverance and puzzling skills with smooth controls, creepy narration and nicely detailed animation.

Uh oh...It's not on the World Market web site anymore.
I am astonished by how many people are buying this pepperoni here on the forum. I think the company owes me a few free sticks!John
I tried VT smoked pepperoni. It was kinda bland and almost reminded me of the sweet summer sausage you get in them gift boxes at christmas. For $21/LB I'd rather buy Filet Mignon.
Funny you should mention summer sausage. I was thinking about using some on a pie next time. Can't decide on chopped, shredded, sliced, etc.
I just got the last 4 at my Cost Plus in Oceanside CA
Atta Boy!!

FALL 2015 RUNWAYS saw a lot of Moroccan influence this year. In fact, Tory Burch's collection this year reminded us so much of our own Valor Collection, we couldn't help but notice.
The lines and contrasts of the arabesque shape invite a warm, seductive, spice-filled, almost fantasy feel that is subtle enough to remain enduringly classic.

A March return from an extended injury for a Duke player is nothing new to the Blue Devils.
But they think this could be different for several reasons.
Senior forward Ryan Kelly has been credited with giving Duke a recent boost at both ends of the court since he came back from a foot injury.
Two years ago, point guard Kyrie Irving, in what turned out to be his only season with the Blue Devils, returned to action after more than two months of rehabilitating a foot injury. He was back in time for the NCAA Tournament, with Duke winning twice before tumbling to Arizona in a Sweet 16 blowout.
"We're different players, different positions," Kelly said. "There are some similarities with the times, but I think in a lot of ways it's very different."
Duke will have at least one more opportunity to see how it all meshes together when it plays in Friday night's Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament quarterfinals against either Maryland or Wake Forest.
Even though Kelly arrived back in the lineup and produced 36 points in the victory against Miami, it's not a seamless situation.
"There's a period of transition," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "To think that there's no transition just because he had this exceptional performance would be naïve for me to think that. So I'm not going to think that.
"The other thing is no one really took Ryan's position at the level that he had played it before. So they didn't redefine a position. It shortened the court on us and made us less of a defensive team because Ryan is an outstanding defender."
Kelly has averaged 20.7 points per game in the three outings since his return.
Yet that might be only a small segment of what the re-introduction of Kelly brings to the Blue Devils.
"I think that had more significance defensively than offensively," Krzyzewski said of when the 6-foot-11 player was out of action. "So him coming back, he really doesn't change anybody's role at all, he just makes everybody's role better."
Irving's return complicated matters from more angles. The freshman was accustomed to controlling the ball as a point guard, a role that Nolan Smith assumed in the interim. Plus, Irving didn't make it back until the NCAA Tournament.
Krzyzewski has been quick to dismiss the comparison from the way the 2011 season unfolded to the current season.
"Kyrie Irving did not disrupt the flow of the team," he said. "I think we were a really good team and Kyrie gave us a chance to be an exceptional team.
"In some ways, Ryan disrupted our team (against Miami). I thought we were standing around watching him. He disrupted it in a really nice way."
Leading to Kelly's return for the March 2 game against Miami, Krzyzewski stressed the importance of Kelly working his way back onto the court before the NCAA Tournament.
"With Kyrie, we weren't able to do that," Krzyzewski said. "With Nolan and Kyle (Singler), you would've liked to have a couple games to see. I think it would have been better."
Duke forward Mason Plumlee has been on both teams when the Blue Devils dealt with players coming back to action after extended absences.
"I know everybody's talking about Kyrie and Nolan (Smith), but you had one guy playing point guard and then another guy came in and played point guard," Plumlee said. "And that position is so different from playing the '4' for us. Nolan, a lot of his stuff was having the ball in his hands and making decisions, and then all of a sudden he was playing off the ball and didn't have the ball in his hands all the time.
"I don't see his transition coming back being difficult like that was."
Plumlee said he likes how Kelly has maintained a strong presence for the Blue Devils since that surge against Miami. Kelly has averaged 30.3 minutes in the three games this month.
All told, Duke is 18-0 this season when Kelly plays.
"The fact is that he's a very unique guy, that's what made us a unique team (before the injury)," Krzyzewski said.
In terms of averages, Kelly ranks third on the team in scoring (14.6 points per game) and second in rebounding (5.6). He's second in blocked shots with 28.
Kelly missed most of the conference schedule, appearing in only five games against ACC opponents. He watched from the bench the first time Duke played North Carolina, then was in the starting lineup for last weekend's game.
"Having Ryan back is a big factor for them," said North Carolina coach Roy Williams, who made a strong recruiting pitch for Kelly several years ago. "Playing almost the entire season without him was difficult for them. They've played great down the stretch."
In Kelly's absence, there has been a trickle-down positive for the Blue Devils.
Playing time increased for forwards Josh Hairston and Amile Jefferson as both were used in the starting lineup at one time or another.
"They've been out on the court in critical end-of-game situations, some that we've won and some that we've lost," Krzyzewski said. "Just the experience of having been in those situations is invaluable. That's a plus from having Ryan injured, that we got that type of playing time, court experience for those guys."
Kelly's presence, though, offers something his teammates don't. He's has the size of a post player, yet he's a capable perimeter shooter, leading the Blue Devils at 53.1 percent (34-for-64) on 3-point attempts.
This causes trouble for opposing teams when trying to assign their defensive matchups.
"You have to cover him so when he has the ball it creates more space. It goes on and on," Krzyzewski said. "That's why when Ryan was out, the performance of Seth (Curry) and Mason were even more exceptional because they didn't have the spacing. You could game plan against them even better."
Now, there's the matter of Duke adjusting its style. Kelly's return means the Blue Devils will be seeing different things, too.
So this is the potentially tricky part for Duke.
"The court, the spacing on the court, looks different," Krzyzewski said. "There's more space. You have to be ready to make some moves, some looks. Some reads that you had (in recent games) you didn't see because it was the first time in a couple of months that they were there.
"To instinctively react to the things presented which are different. … We have habits with the 13 games (without Kelly) that we have to adjust to now that we're doing this."
Who: No. 2 seed Duke (27-4) vs. tonight's Maryland / Wake Forest winner
When: 7 p.m. Friday (ACC Network, ESPN2)
Earlier this season: Duke defeated Maryland 84-64 on Jan. 26 in Durham, then lost to the Terrapins 83-81 on Feb. 21 in College Park, Md.; Duke swept Wake Forest, winning 80-62 on Jan. 5 in Durham and 75-70 on Jan. 30 in Winston-Salem.
Note: Duke's 19 ACC Tournament championships are the most of any school. The most-recent title came in 2011, when the Blue Devils won for the third year in a row. This is the third year in a row that Duke holds the No.2 seed for the tournament. If Duke meets Wake Forest, it will be the first tournament meeting between the teams since Duke won a 2006 semifinal in Greensboro.

I hear that the newer model horses come with GPS built in.
Perfect not only for the theme but also for the hard-core Halloween fans (which also seem to be Drakxxx fans)... just sayin' And let's not forget CD's coloring! What a duo!

This is pretty much 2000x better. It's an idea that actually takes part of one's own thought-process to create it. The other is a pure cash-in on a popular meme. Too bad we'll never know who made this.
Midnight is the perfect time to buy such a shirt.
Not only is this a great Halloween shirt, it also works for Back to School season. Plenty of students will be reading "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" this school year.

He's really not going to have any luck ready that map without a good pair of eyes... Maybe it's in brail?
Yeah, it sure sucks to stay up for a great shirt and miss out on a cheap-looking pop-culture reference.
Wow, I just noticed the gap between this shirt and 10th place isn't much more than 100 votes - 3rd is gonna be a tight race (perhaps even a tie?)
I love the colors and idea behind this shirt, but they lost me when I looked closely at the design. The question mark above the body and lines above the jack-o-lantern struck me as being overkill. I was _this_ close to buying another woot shirt, but made a right turn instead.

It's been a while since tie occurred. "Galaxy" and "Pandora's Friends", I think, in May of '09, if I recall correctly.
Move out of the way reindeers, Grandma Got Run Over by a Headless Horseman.
Why does the Headless Horseman pack a TV? He can't watch it....so, maybe it's just ammo to throw at helpless villagers?
YES! I was really hoping this one would print. This has to be one of my favourite shirts this year. In for two, (one in my regular size, and one to diet into.) Congrats on the print, Draxxx and CrescentDebris.
Why is he bothering with the map when the sign is right there? What a gourd
I think I'm going to get a "head" of myself and buy this for Halloween. Wah wah waaaaah!
WOW for two reasons. One, because this printed which I wasn't expecting and Two, that vote gap from 1st to 2nd. 3rd can't be more than 10 votes behind I bet, but either way, Drakxxx and I thank you. And again with the CREATOR line. I think typing out our names together in one long string causes an error in the system. But I almost like the missing names. Seems somehow appropriate for a dude with no face. Woot gives us both a Trick & a Treat with this one! Thanks!
Great result for DrakscentDebrixxx! Hollywood's best loved power couple.
MegaUltraDrakxxxCrescentdebrisAwesome! Congrats Guys!!!
Wear this shirt: on Halloween. HEY. ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT WHINE THAT WE NEVER LEAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU TO GET HOLIDAY SHIRTS. ARE YOU READING THIS? BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT THIS YEAR, OKAY?
Hey!... Don't I remember some movie, about Halloween taking over Christmas? HAH! I have caught you shirt.woot!, in this subliminal message! What you're really saying, is: "We've gone crraaazzzzy and lost our heads, printing this shirt...and you won't be getting it, until Christmas! (Suckers! ) OK...so I'm a sucker...and in for one. (Will also be telling the guy at work, who's been wanting a Halloween shirt...)
With mah super-kewl-kinda-good pumpkin carving skills I could have carved him a better head for directions. :P lol (Shameless plug ftw!) Congrats to you both! I knew this would print! (Okay, more like hoping badly but same thing. ^_^)
*Throws confetti everywhere* Congrats on a well-deserved print, DrakxxxCrescent! I'm definitely in for one. I will wear this at the most appropriate time possible, my conservative in-law's Christmas dinner.
I can't say what the problem is (maybe CrescentDebris is right!) but here's what was intended to be in that empty space: Bio: Drakxxx did the art. CrescentDebris did the colors. Washington Irving wrote the script, and New England Haunted Horses handled the animal wrangling. Shirt.Woot Productions, MMX.
Oh man, this shirt's got me excited for Halloween. By the way, you aren't a hard core Halloween fan unless you love candy corn. One of my all time favorite pleasures is that first candy corn of the season.

Vertigo: 2005/06
Show Day: Boston - Fleet Center, Show 4
09 June 2001
Show Day: Boston - Fleet Center, Show 4
There seems to be a tradition developing that on the fourth show in any one city it is open season setlist-wise. Tonight's offering was suitably unhinged, including the first public airing of 'Party Girl' since the mid-80's.
The highlight of the evening was an experiment with some new glasses for Bono. Not your ordinary shades, mind you, but a super high-tech pair of specs with a tiny camera built into the bridge of the nose. We've played with something similar on previous tours, but the picture quality has always been crap up to now, not to mention that Bono would have had to wear a large backpack transmitter.
Tonight's new toy had great image clarity so Bono wore them for the first three songs of the show - Elevation, Pride, End of the World (I told you it was a mad setlist night). The result was quite fantastic - fascinating and hilarious at the same time. Bono had them on walking out of the dressing room and as he got within range of the on-stage base station, the fuzzy static on the show video screens began to turn into images - images of exactly what he was seeing. There were corridor walls adorned with sports trophies, nods and smiles from crew members, a sudden very clear image of Larry (much cheering in the house), a chat to Paul McGuinness and then bright lights, a staircase, thousands of cheering people and finally a gigantic hand pulling a gigantic microphone from its stand as 'Elevation' kicked in.
It was so wacky to see the show through Bono's eyes - and, I have to say, also a huge distraction from the rest of the gig, but such a unique experience it was well worth it. The funniest moment was during End of the World, when Bono went forehead-to-forehead with The Edge, producing an image of Edge so bizarrely distorted you'd have thought Salvador Dali was switching the video - a gigantic nose and eye filling half the screen, then a smaller mouth and a tiny body playing micro-guitar squished in below. All live, of course, and all in terrifyingly crisp focus. I'm not sure we'll do it again (its really the wrong tour for that kind of gag) but I'm so glad I got to see it at least once.

Never been so wowed-out about an artificial plant and this is actually the first I have EVER had anywhere lived. I had some other neighbor's come out of their townhose to ask me if it was real while I was spritzing it with a water-based, scentless to humans--BITTER YUCK, that makes cats not want to chew anything that's sprayed on it. Have this in a once-empty corner behind my main desk, as my desk faces at angle so have great view of lush canopy of trees around where I live. My cat actually came up on desk and layed under the branches on desk, as if some hidden instictual trait was activated--so I am happy and so is my Maine Coone Cat. I priced this VERY SAME Capensia Bush and found it as high as FOUR TIMES The "O" and only lower one than that was at TWICE what The "O" has this great tree. I may now have to contemplate getting a second one for a corner in dining room as again, The "O" out-did themself and the FACT it's made in Georgia, USA means ALOT TO ME! Do not even hesitate buying this because I have a rather contemporary and eclectic artsy tastes and although a retired and disabled Veteran, I am an artist and musician when not wearing a the uniform and if this tree even remotely looked "trailorparkesque", it would have been sent back in no time!
I bought this for my wife and she really pleased. Our Ficus tree needed a companion and this was the perfect match. It filled out what used to be an empty corner in our family room. I would buy it again in the blink of an eye. Would I recommend it to a friend ? You bet I would.
The pictutre simply does not do this piece justice.Its perfect for the corner in my livingroom and adds such nice warm tomes to the otherwise lifeless area!
After receiving a destroyed first unit, and following Overstock.com's web page procedure for returns, Overstock sent a new one immediately. Second time was perfect! Box in great shape, so was the tree! Just what the picture looked like, just as the description said. Perfect. Rounds out the corner in our basement family room perfectly. Love the dual colors!
when my tree came in I was very excited until I took it out of the box. Its was not 6.5 ft. tall it was more like 5'7 my hight and I was looking for a tall tree because we have really tall ceilings... But the tree it self does look nice just wish it was the high they say it is
Bought this to fill an empty corner of a living room where a real plant would not thrive. It looks as real as a similar ficus tree that I have in another room.
I didn't think I'd like artificial plants in the house but this one is of exceptional quality and fills in a corner nicely.
Needed for a corner accent piece in a large room. Filled the space as desired, but was a little short on quality and visual impact. It works, but doesn't give that "pop" I was looking for
Internet showed one left. I ordered it and got a palm tree instead which arrived in a beat up box and missing a branch. I ordered a different tree and overstock customer service on returning palm tree was wonderful. Very pleasant to deal with. They sent UPS to my house to pick it up.
It's described as a bush but is actually a tree and soooooooooo many leaves. I have it on my front porch along side my St Francis of Assisi statue - a perfect fit. Pricey but worth it.

We re starting to get a sense of how Washington State counties followed and broke with tradition as the final ballots are counted.
In the race for governor, there may not be a winner yet, but it s following a trend commonly seen in Washington politics. The state's 39 counties break heavily for Rob McKenna, with every county east of the mountains supporting him and plenty of other counties on the west side as well. In all, Jay Inslee won only eight counties to McKenna s 31, but for now that s giving him the lead.
Referendum 74 has a similar breakdown as the state decided whether to uphold same sex marriage. County by county 31 wanted to reject it, but not the same 31 that voted for McKenna. Eight counties, some different than those supporting Inslee, lead the way to approving R-74.
The Cascades are often considered both a geographic and political divide for Washington State, but when it came to legalizing marijuana, the state broke with tradition. The supporters of Initiative 502 were made up of 20 different counties in all corners of the state. Supporters believe this large support will be the start of a global trend.

Angels, White Sox trying to shake early inconsistency
Williams, Quintana square off in second of three in Chicago
The White Sox wrapped up an eight-game road trip earlier this week. On Monday, they'll head out on another seven-game trip. And in their brief stint at home, they've got a date with one of the toughest teams in the American League.
It's not been easy sledding for the last-place White Sox, but despite their fifth-place standing in the AL Central, they're still in contention. After a 7-5 loss in the series opener against the Angels on Friday night, they are six games back of the first-place Tigers.
"It's nice to know that we are not 15 games back because the other team is running away with it," Chicago's Paul Konerko said. "But really I don't know if that's much of a concern right now. It's more just trying to get ourselves right, playing well and good ball consistently. We've had games here and there that have been OK."
The team in the opposite dugout this weekend has endured its fair share of struggles, as well. The Angels were expected to be a key player in the American League, boasting one of baseball's most formidable lineups, but they have sputtered out of the gates.
"You never know what's going to happen when you first start out," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said of the Angels. "They've had some tough breaks losing guys. You've got to play them good because they're a good team. It might not show right now but you never know when it's going to happen."
The Angels' Jerome Williams and the South Siders' Jose Quintana will each try to propel their respective team in the right direction in the second game of the series Saturday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
Williams had been pitching well out of the bullpen, with a 1.69 ERA through eight appearances, but struggled in his first start against the Orioles on Sunday. He gave up five runs on just four hits, but walked three. He lasted 4 1/3 innings.
"We, as a staff, we have to go out there and be better," Williams said of the rotation, which has an ERA of 4.74 entering Saturday's contest. "That's the key right now. We have to be better. The guys that are swinging the bats are coming around. We just have to throw up zeros."
Quintana took a no-hitter into the fifth inning of his last start, against the Royals, but ended up lasting just two batters into the sixth. He's 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA.
Angels: Hamilton hammers the Sox

• With their win on Friday night, the Angels won consecutive road games for the first time this season.
White Sox: Here for the day, gone for the week
Chicago's upcoming seven-game series will feature trips to face the Twins and the Angels. The White Sox are 4-5 during their current stretch of playing 15 of 18 games away from home.
"That's not ideal," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said of the odd scheduling. "We do have I think four 10-day trips, which strikes me as a little more than normal. It's for the betterment of everything, they balanced out the two leagues and the competitiveness from that standpoint. So there are some growing pains with the schedule. We'll get used to it."
The White Sox will play 17 of 23 games at home from May 20-June 12. They're 7-8 at home and 7-11 on the road.
Worth noting
Unfortunately for the White Sox and Angels, summer weather hasn't permanently made its way to the Windy City, making for some chilly temperatures at the park this weekend. It was 40 degrees at the time of Friday's first pitch.
"I don't know what it was like when we were gone," Konerko said. "I've heard a couple of people say it was nice. Early on, in April and May, you hope for good weather, but I think you don't expect it. You know until you get to June it's probably hit or miss. This something you have to deal with and get through."
Saturday's forecast calls for morning showers, a high of 58 degrees and temperatures down into the 30s by nightfall.
