Slope game
Some games are really interesting. Slope game is as simple and clear as possible, it does not have anything incredible, the graphics do not cause any wild delight. You just battle with virtual obstacles, jump and roll to your goal. Along the way you get a lot of positive emotions. For someone it is already enough to occupy time on a trip or during a boring wait for something.
The Slope series of games is remembered by many as something simple and fascinating and is still popular among flash games.

Fancy Pants Adventure 2

Happy Wheels
Happy Wheels is a racing game that has gained popularity thanks to three aspects: extreme violence, high difficulty and custom levels.
The player here, avoiding the many traps, must bring the character to the end of the track. It is not an easy task: circular saws, spears, grenades and other dangerous objects often come out of nowhere at the most unexpected moments. And the main characters are very fragile – taking damage, they often lose limbs and begin to bleed.
Happy Wheels is interesting with its sheer craziness and the sheer number of levels available, including not only the classic ones, but also the “dodge the harpoons” kind of challenge.
