GAMES
Vectorpark


Cancel that four o’clock meeting! You’re about to enter a crazily addictive game site called Vectorpark. There, you’ll find perfectly designed, shockingly simple Flash games that won’t overload your senses — but may just blow your mind.

Figuring out how the games work is half the fun — there are no instructions. But here are a few tips: Feed Your Head features facial features that go haywire with each click of your mouse. In Spider, you control a critter that’s on the run from a bizarre hybrid creature (part bird, part dog). And in Levers, you build a mobile out of objects that fall from the sky, making sure not to let weight imbalance drown you in the ocean below. When that happens — oh, you’ll figure it out!
