Boomshine is a surreal and addictive game with a rather soothing soundtrack where you pop little bubbles of light and try to create a chain reaction from the resulting explosions. As the levels progress you have to chain together more and more explosions until what was a relaxing game turns into rather a tricky proposition, with anything beyond level 10-12 being seemingly impossible [

Spot The Difference Explorer takes your regular "spot the difference" type puzzle and organises it into a level based game, with puzzles arranged in different categories to mix things up a little, letting you unlock more puzzles as you go along. The game also usefully saves where you are, should you have to leave it, meaning that you can spread your gameplay across more than one coffee break, which is very handy given that this type of puzzle is ideally suited for when you have 5 minutes spare here and there [

Incognitus Proximity of Doom gives you 10 minutes to escape the room (with a
24 sounding countdown). There's nothing like a bit of pressure to sharpen up your
point'n'click skills. And cheaters beware - you know which key you are reaching for, but you'll regret it in this game [

ClickClickClick is a ridiculous "game" that has a lot of click, but very little point (did ya see what I did there?). Yet somehow you are still compelled to at least give it a go. The idea of the "game" is to just click as much as possible, with your total of clicks going into a grand total for your country, you can then see how your country is doing in the
leader board. Ridiculous [

IQTest.dk gives you a series of simplistic (at least graphically) logic puzzles to
point'n'click your way through which, at least in theory, will measure your IQ. There's 40 minutes to answer 39 questions so unless you're feeling particularly speedy set aside some time before starting to play [

MindScape starts off as an average little platform arcade game where you jump around collecting candy. Albeit one with a manic soundtrack and evil monkeys (not of the spam variety) to avoid. Then you get to the first bit where the gravity changes. That's when it get a bit more special as your mind tries to understand where exactly you are going on screen (don't bother is my advice - I gave up trying to work it out as my head was spinning and somehow I still got all the candy). Then at the end of level one there's a silly game of stealing a key from a pink bunny rabbit (pictured above) which, as we all know, is always a fun thing to do. Following that level 2 has constant gravity changing platforms in a robotic world, and that's where I left the game for now, before my head started spinning so much I couldn't write this up for for you if I continued [

The
first chapter of Esklavos was a beautiful
point'n'click game, but as far as I can tell
Esklavos Chapter 2 is an arcade game, using the cursor keys, in which you swim under water trying to maintain your oxygen levels whilst avoiding various obstacles and missiles. I say "appears to be" as it could turn into a regular
point'n'click once you get passed the swimming bit but I haven't yet succeeded in doing this without coming to a nasty end [

UPDATE: OK. I've got passed the swimming bit and now there's a
point'n'click puzzle involving a ray of light and some carving type things... I can't vouch for what's next after this, as obviously I'm stuck on this now, but anyway my point is all you
point'n'click addicts shouldn't be put off by the arcadey (spelling?) bit at the beginning.
Head-Fi has your standard "escape the room"
point'n'click game plot, but in a weird twist of logic it's not keys you need to collect to get out, it's sets of headphones. Four sets to be exact. Well why not? [

After releasing a
teaser a couple of weeks ago
Grant writes to tell me that
The Black Lodge is out today for all you puzzle fans to unleash your url changing, source code viewing, Googling brains on. And it has a nice soundtrack for you to listen to as your brain implodes as well... which is nice.
Grant insists that it's not an entirely
Twin Peaks themed game, but you could have fooled me after playing through the first few levels... pictures from Twin Peaks, puzzles with Twin Peaks answers, and Peaks-esque music playing in the background the whole time. Not that this is a bad things in my eyes - in fact far from it. Anyway here's what
Grant has to say on the game:
Well, we finally got around to finishing our third game,
The Black Lodge. This one is a bit different than our other games. There is no ramping up of difficulty, the puzzles and riddles were placed semi-randomly throughout the game. The game is also very loosely based around Twin Peaks, not all levels are related to Twin Peaks. Also, be sure to have your sound up (not necessary for solving any levels) for the full experience. Good luck to all.

The long lost
Series Of Nekoryokan makes an unexpected reappearance for us to
point'n'click around in
Nekoryokan 3. Despite the absence though the kitty cat is still there to give the game it's trademark feline presense [
