Sling - Today's Time Waster

Online games fall into all sorts of categories, and unfortunately many of them don't fall into one called "fun". That's certainly not the case with Sling, and online Flash physics-based game that is ridiculously addictive. Sling is a little dude that you control - he's basically just a head and a single hand on a stretchy arm. For such a modest little guy, he's got quite a job - nothing short of saving his world!

Sling's game play consists of grabbing Sling's head and stretching it away from whatever he's holding on to. When you let him go, he shoots in the direction he's aimed, and will grab onto anything he can during the flight. There are many different objects, obstacles and nasties that he must navigate through and past to get to his goal. You may find it's a bit too easy on the first few levels, but though easy, Sling is fun to play with just as a physics toy. But quickly the levels get more and more challenging, until you find yourself burning an hour solving a particularly difficult one.

Honestly, I don't usually let an online game suck up more than about five or ten minutes of my time. With Sling I couldn't help it; I've been playing it regularly now for days.
