Scarygirl: a magical, illustrated platformer - Time Waster

Web-based games have come a long way over the years, and Scarygirl is better than most platform adventures you'll find on a console or desktop. Based on comic by Nathan Jurevicius, this game really feels like you're playing inside a comic or a cartoon. The art is phenomenal, the controls are easy to learn, and the level designs are a lot of fun. You play the title character, Scarygirl, as she attempts to locate a man who appears in her mysterious dreams.

You get help and clues from animal characters like Bunniguri and Blister (who is a giant octopus), as you proceed through treehouses, eel-infested water, caves and other fun levels, completing various mini-tasks as you go. Scarygirl is entirely free to play online, and you can register to save your game. You're going to want to do that, because Scarygirl's world is so gorgeous that you won't want to leave. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a bicycle to assemble in level 3.
