Kokosan posted a Flash Player 10 game on Kongregate called Snake Box that is a 3D take on the classic snake game. Rather than just being on a flat grid, you now navigate in a loop around the edges of a cube.

Its a good use of the 3D Effects in Flash Player 10, and they did a good job with keeping the cube rotated smoothly. Unfortunately for me, the controls are a bit twitchy, but still a good game.

Closure game

When it comes to games, I know I have a problem. There are too many really cool Flash games all over the web, and I only have so much (little) time. I love puzzle games, conceptual games, and lots of arcade games.

But today, I found the first game the first game that really seems to clearly make use of a Flash Player 10 feature. Glaiel Games recently launched “Closure.” The game is a conceptual side-scroller where you use balls of light to reveal and destroy parts of the world.

The extra cool part to me is the visual style. It is a black and white game which is styled by the application of Adobe Pixel Bender filters that do something conceptually related to halftone and shading to show off the world. Its pretty neat.

Also, another Glaiel game that I love is Aether. Definitely worth checking out.
