Browser Game Pick: Green Terror (Karbaman)
Green Terror is a physics-based puzzle shooter where killing aliens is your goal. The object is to aim the cannon and fire to kill the alien, whilst making sure you don't hit the human at the same time.
It's a little trickier than a simple aim-and-shoot strategy, however. Magnets pull and push fired balls around, making aiming much harder work. Hitting certain body parts on both the alien and the human is a game in itself, as the cannonball will knock a number of different limbs off their little bodies. Managing to replace the alien's head with a ball is satisfying work.
Give it a blast at Newgrounds.

I think the potential isn't really used well. I didn't ever get a good feeling of control over the ball, as the magnet usually either didn't attract the ball a lot or it totally stuck to the ball. At least I'd find it a lot more satisfying if you really had to careful get the balls trajectory bent towards the target, ideally multiple times in a single flight. The way it is, luck seemed to be the greatest factor in determining if I won a level or not.
But I also got to say that the, eh, "loose anatomy" of the characters was indeed very entertaining :D

I ment, of course, that the ball totally stuck to the magnet.
