I'm a big fan of the fast-pasted silliness of the Wario Ware games. The frenzied action and wide variety of minigames are always good for an unwinding session on the Wii. Unfortunately, most of us aren't lucky enough to have 1) a Wii in our offices or 2) enough space to swing around the remote without drilling some unsuspecting coworker in the pie-hole. The good folks at Tinymania have a ...

Hey Wizard is fun little Flash Time Waster, though getting a decent screencap was a bit tricky. You'll need both hands to work the controls, which led to several untimely deaths as I tried to snag an action shot. As you already guessed, you control the short bearded fellow with the wand and pointy hat. Though your tiny mage can't jump, he gets by just fine. Aim your wand at the ground, hold the ...

Your office might not be the ideal place to whip out a USB guitar and start wailing away at Guitar Hero. Jam Legend, however, is a bit more subtle and can be just as much fun. You've got two options for controls - tap only or tap and strum. If you're into a more relaxed gaming experience, forgo the enter-key strumming. You can also choose wield your keyboard like an instrument and utilize ...

Space Game is a fun, addictive RTS where your goal is to extract minerals from asteroids while fending off attacks from nasty space pirates. There's quite a bit of depth to this one compared some Time Wasters we've shared so I recommend reading up on keyboard shortcuts and enemy ship weaknesses. Set up your network of mining and power equipment and build up defenses - you'll need them once the ...

XGen Studio's Pillage the Village is a devilishly fun way to waste your afternoon. You control the almighty hand of supreme power, and whether you use it for good or evil is entirely up to you. Gameplay is relatively simple. Click a villager to pick him up, give him a jolly good fling, and giggle at the ragdoll physicis shenanignas. Short distances will only daze the poor bugger, while an ...

If you're in the mood for some in-browser shenanigans this afternoon and feeling a bit wound up, Bloody Pingu Throw may be just the thing to help you work out that excess stress. A little warning: there's more than a touch of cartoon violence and bloodshed ahead. You control a Yeti wielding a spiked club the size of something a character from Final Fantasy would brandish. Click your mouse to ...

There's no reason that you should be alone in your Time Waster-ing. If you're feeling social and want to bring your teammates down with you, head over to GetBack's arcade and go for 300 in SNK League Bowling. Yep, it's the classic NeoGeo title done up for your browser. I still remember drooling over ads for the console and thinking that the NeoGeo was probably the best at home arcade system I'd ...

The goal in Time4Cat is to guide your kitty around the crosswalk and snack on falling food while avoiding pedestrians. Just like in real life, it's all good fun until someone steps on the cat. Nice green ladies move comparatively slowly, while purple men rush past with little regard for your feline. Trickier still, the speed of their gait is directly related to how fast you're moving. Zip ...

Get ready to be the bad guy! In Monster Evolution, it's time for humanity to suffer your wrath! Devour or squash enough people to reach the goal and you'll be able to evolve into a new, improved creature. You get a short grace period at the start of the game. There won't be any do-gooders around with guns or tanks firing at you, but they're coming. Later on, you'll be assaulted by even more ...

Quickly! We're under attack by circles! Grab your circle on a wire attached to to a dot, and smash them! It may not sound like much, but Sproing Reloaded is good, casual fun. Hollow enemies need a good thumping, while solid ones need to be avoided. Bump into them while you're flailing around, and your health meter will suffer. When you complete a wave, you're awarded upgrade points: use them to ...

Ok, this looks simple enough. Click the dots in the right order, and turn them all the same color. That's what I thought after playing the first level of The New Switcheroo. As I plodded ahead through the subsequent levels, I started to understand what makes the game a true Time Waster. New dots appear with new super powers: some cause adjacent blocks to rotate in place, others rotate the whole ...

Most of you have probably played around with Line Rider before, and with good reason. It's simple, thoughtful (or mindless, depending on your mood) fun. But why just draw courses for one lonely schlub on a sled when you can scribble roller coaster runs for 8 unlucky guinea pigs? There is a "goal" to the levels in Roller Coaster Creator. At your disposal are a freehand track pencil and special ...

Right off the bat I want to note that this time waster is PG13; if you'd rather not encounter some mild foul language, it's probably best that you move on to our next post. Still here? Great. If there's anything that those commercials for peanut butter cups have taught me, it's that something magical happens when you put two things that taste great on their own together. The timewasting flash ...

In Closure, if you can see it, you can walk on it. The trick is to illuminate your path all the way to a door through which you exit each level. The sketchy, hand-drawn imagery is incredibly cool. It's not as easy as picking up a light and walking around with it. You'll have to figure out where and when to place lights to navigate safely through each trial. Certain objects mirror your light ...

Maybe your job is getting you down. Maybe you feel overworked. You'd best take a breather an unwind with some Time Wasters before something terrible happens...Like what you've got to do to the protagonist in Karoshi Suicide Salaryman. Your goal is to bring about Salaryman's untimely demise (the word karoshi literally translates to "death by overwork"). While I'm not certain that revealing a ...
