Physics Games and Physics-Based Game Downloads

Aaron Rutkoff’s latest Time Waster column in The Wall Street Journal Online is all about Fun-Motion. I find this to be rather amazing. Aaron contacted me earlier this month about doing an interview; we talked on the phone and followed up with an email exchange. The output of his type-wizardry is available to you now!

p.s. Expect a flurry of new reviews and interviews soon!

Someone took Line Rider to bold new levels of insanity:

P.S. New reviews this weekend! (Just about finished with a contract job that’s been eating time)

I’ve had a lot of emails asking for clarification on which games have MacOS versions available. When I get a free moment I’ll update the list of physics games with OS icons, so it’s easier to see at a glance. In the meantime, though, of the games I’ve reviewed so far these have MacOS builds:

1. Cat Sledding (Java)
2. Line Rider (Flash)
3. Lugaru
4. Pogo Sticker
5. Ragdoll Masters
6. Rocky the Monkey
7. Stair Dismount
8. TubeTwist
9. Truck Dismount
10. Toribash
11. TG Motorcross 2 (Flash)
12. Super Stealball

That’s just off the top of my head, so I may have missed a few. I’ll do a news post when I update the list with better OS identification. Keep in mind that the download links to any files actually hosted here are Windows (look for the link to the official game page at the end of the review).

Of course, there are piles and piles of physics-based Flash games out there too. I haven’t decided how to review those yet; I’ll probably do roundups with multiple games in a review, rather than do the whole video/etc treatment for each individual game.
