Pulsus
Jason called Pulsus "one of the best physics games [he'd] played in quite a while." Use your "tools" to guide the particles onto the goal platforms to score points and complete levels.
One Button Bob
Dead simple controls don't make this one any easier. Clockwork Monster's One Button Bob is a fun, pixelated adventure where you have to figure out what your left mouse button does -- and then use it properly to pass each level.
Home Sheep Home
A Time Waster by Aardman Studios? Sign us up! Guide the three sheep to the sign post to complete each level in this ovine physics puzzler.
Sushi Cat
Sushi Cat has a thing for -- you guessed it -- sushi. It's up to you to help him fill his belly (Plinko style!), and it's more addictive than you might think. The artwork is some of the cutest we've seen this year from a Time Waster.
Enigmata
If you love space battles and can't get enough in-game equipment upgrades, Enigmata ought to be right up your alley. Power up and destroy your enemies while avoiding their annoying (and debilitating) X mines.
Dogfight 2
Another one for those of you who enjoy aerial combat! Dogfight 2 is fun, addictive, plane-on-plane action. Don't content yourself with merely shooting enemies out of the sky -- you'll earn bonus points for acrobatic maneuvers!
Concentric
Test your mousing abilities in this slick Time Waster where graphics take a back seat to gameplay. Concentric also has a really nice soundtrack to accompany you as you nimbly mouse, dodge, and collect points.
Super Mario Crossover
What could possibly make the original SMB more fun? How about if you could play through as Samus, Mega Man, or Link? Sure, having full-time firepower might make the game a little less challenging... but there's something satisfying about blasting koopas.
Warlight
Fancy some one-on-one Risk-style gaming in your browser? Check out Warlight, which lets you match wits against an AI opponent or one of your friends!
Fantastic Contraption 2
One of our all-time favorite physics Time Wasters, Fantastic Contraption was back with a new version in 2010 -- and it's every bit as good as the original.
Sprocket Rocket
Help Wallace and Gromit complete their rocket and fly to the moon -- yes, it's another Aardman game, but it's a ton of fun, too. Interestingly enough, it's sponsored by the U.K. Intellectual Property office.
Pirates Love Daisies
Who cares about drag-and-drop uploading -- bring on the HTML5 Time Wasters! Pirates Love Daisies is a surprisingly addictive tower defense game. Protect your daisy patch from being pilfered by various beasts from the sea, and watch out for airborne attacks!

My wife denied throwing out my Atari game system, way back in ancient times. She also denied tossing my original Pong game too. I guess they just got up and walked away after I bought my Nintendo.

Definitely have to throw in Robot Loves Ice Cream too. Awesome timewaster game.
