Found a cute little Flash game earlier tonight (via Digg) called Sling.As with many of the best games, this one is simple to play, but a little tougher to master. Here's a brief description from the game...
Sling is a green glob of goo consisting of a hand attached to a head by a long strip of springy slime. Players use the mouse to click and drag on Sling’s head, pulling him around to attach him to different items, or pulling back and releasing him to ‘slingshot’ him to another location. Real-world physics are used to model Sling’s springy arm, his motion and collisions.Be careful, though... As evidenced by the timestamp of this entry, Sling is extremely addicting. Make sure you have plenty of time to play.
Each level of Sling’s world is made up of a single screen of different ‘grabs’ and surfaces that he can attach himself too. There are many different grabs with different characteristics. The most basic grab is a simple ‘gray’ grab. On most levels, Sling must attach himself to all the ‘gray’ grabs and turn them green. Once all the gray grabs are green a portal will appear to take him to the next level.
