Clicky clicky goodness!

There are some new games on Whirled that I'm really enjoying - Bang! Heroes has finally been released - a cowboy themed scroller with single player and multiplayer options. While there are still some bugs around, the gameplay is smooth and I really like the music and artwork. This is a cut down flash cross-over with the full game, Bang! Howdy, which has many more characters and features, so I'd say there are more features to come for this game.

My other favourite game was not created by Three Rings (the creators of Whirled), but instead by one of the many indie flash developers taking advantage of the Whirled platform to share their games. Emerald Activities new game, Create and Rate, certainly fits in with the Whirled spirit of creativity and player imagination. In it you use premade pieces, which you can colour, pattern and arrange, to make your own picture, which is then rated by your fellow players to see who has made the winning creation. Categories for the game include fashion, horses, dragons, and prehistoric.

I had so much fun with this, either by trying to weird out my fellow players, or completely throw the category and theme out the window (this is in the "Horse" mode game):


Or recreating movie scenes (this is in "Fashion" game mode):


And I think I'll stop there all I'll want to post all of the 20 or so scenes that I liked enough to use the game option that lets me save it to my hard drive. I'll try to embed it below - if you like puzzles and creating things, I recommend you give it a go!
