Hoshi Saga (a simple looking Flash puzzle game created by Yoshio Ishii) has a successor called Hoshi Saga 2 (Hoshi Saga means Search a Star in Japanese). Also in the second version there are little to no instructions given. The object of this puzzle game is to discover a star covered in each of the 36 stages. That’s all you get, as said it look and sound simple but the truth is different. It’s a game of trial and discovery. Your clicks will do something different in each stage. And, yes, there is always a star to be found.
All 36 stages in Hoshi Sage are all given a rating, and a general rule of thumb seems to be that the higher the rating, the more difficult the stage. To play all 36 stages you have to solve first 25 stages to unlock eleven other stages. Just use your 'Point and Click' skills to collect the 36 stars. If you're stucked you can return later to solve the other levels, an automatic save function allows you to return later. I will not spoil the fun by publishing the walkthrough for Hoshi Saga.

Pentago is a strategy game for two players invented by Tomas Flodén. Pentago is played on a 6×6 board divided into four 3×3 sub-boards (also called quadrants). Taking turns, the two players place a marble of their color (either black or white) onto an unoccupied space on the board, and then rotate one of the sub-boards by 90 degrees either clockwise or counter-clockwise. A player wins by getting five of their marbles in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row (either before or after the sub-board rotation in their move). If all 36 spaces on the board are occupied without a row of five being formed then the game is a draw. Play time for Pentago is approx. 3 to 30 minutes and suitable for age 6 and up and available via Amazon.

Next to Flash Puzzle game Click Maze there is also a sequel. Of course this puzzle game is called Click Maze 2. But you can play Click Maze 2 without playing Click Maze 1 first. Instructions on how to play are embedded at the beginning of the game.
Your objective in Click Maze 2 is to guide a small red ball to the big red ball without hitting any obstacles in the way. This requires sometimes some puzzling and defining a strategy how to pass all obstacles. If you hit the obstacles you lose a life, you have three lives total.
The obstacles range from walls to bullets that fly out to paths that are created for a short amount of time. You need to guide the ball through the path or moving maze without hitting anything. The obstacles get more challenging as the game proceeds.
Enjoy this lovely puzzle game!

Jim Blackler wrote a simple puzzle Flash puzzle game called Grid Rotate Puzzle. The idea is inspired by slide puzzle games (puzzle of fifteen) and Rubik’s Clock.
The objective of the Grid Rotate Puzzle is to return a grid of numbers to its original form by rotating individual 2 x 2 square bocks by 90 degrees. Hard to explain but give it a go, you’ll work it out quickly.
The grid starts out straight. You can scramble it yourself or hit the ‘Spin’ button and have it done for you (hit it again to stop the scrambling). You can also experiment with using the slider to create grids of different sizes.
It is worth pointing out something though. When Jim came up with the idea he thought that it would be about as difficult to complete as a standard slide puzzle. Wrong. It seems very, very difficult. Happy Puzzling !

Peg Solitaire (also known as Hi-Q) has very simple rules. Pegs (yellow balls in this implementation) are allowed to jump over adjacent (vertically or horizontally) pegs. The peg that has been jumped over is removed. So jumps are like captures in Checkers. The last peg should be on the black circle.
Best thing about the Flash version of Peg Solitaire by GameDesign is that the game board made of circles is always different so this limits your options to solve each level. Very addictive and different every time you play.
