Freeware Game Pick: FIG (Arvi Teikari)
FIG is a puzzle-action game by Arvi Teikari. It is about a green-clothed guy who seeks to return to his home. In order to do this, he must collect all stars from 35 different-looking islands. The player must guide him through all the masses of traps that can be found all over the islands in order to complete the game.
You cannot affect to the guy directly during the levels. instead you must interact with the environment around the guy, and find the correct order and timing in which to click everything to complete a level. Every level also includes a secret blue star, and you get access to the 5 last levels only by collecting all these blue stars from every level. The game has also some small bonus unlockables.

Hot damn! I just deleted the demo of this game that I downloaded like a year ago (or more). I was hankering for some clicky puzzle game. Fantastic.

I love Hempuli.
Seriously, he's an awesome kid.

This is like, really really good! The style is great, the difficulty is well set, and many of the levels are really hilarious. I'm 79% done so far but I'm definitely going to finish this if I can :D

I've gotten every blue star EXCEPT the one in stage 10. It's the one with the cannon you can control with the flying target and the weird ramp-monster. I've tried shooting just about everything with the cannon. Can someone give me a hint please?

Quetz:
You need to burn the ro...emmm, I mean, shoot the traffic light. Just be sure to do it _after_ your guy starts walking.
In exchange for this, care to tell how to get the star in stage 8?

Just after you've made the guy cross the bridge quickly turn of all the lights. It's easier if you time it so that the birds turns of one of the lights.

Thanks, Attan!
Now I'm hopelessly stuck at level 30. Cutting those holes each time you die sure is annoying. Oh well...

Apparently Hempuli's going to make level 30 less frustrating to control.

i can't entirely download this game from the site. I don't know why, but the bar stops at 14mb.
