The creator of Line Rider makes this declaration at the beginning of his game’s description:
“Its not a game, its a toy. What i mean is there is no goals to achive and there is no score.”
It’s an interesting distinction he’s making, but it’s not enough to prevent me from posting it on TIGSource. Which stands for The Independent Gaming Source, not The Independent Toy Source. That would be a different acronym…
You get what I’m saying here?
In any case, Line Rider is only beta and it’s pretty fun, if a bit unwieldy. Draw lines and have a little guy ride them. Ride them so dirty.
With a little imagination and determination, you could even come up with scenarios like this.

This girl made a million dollars for playing Bejeweled and Zuma. The words “holy,” “fucking,” and “shit” come to mind.
And since I have some space here and I’m feeling a bit testy… new editors, if you haven’t posted this week and you don’t make at least one post in the next two weeks, you’re getting kicked off. It’s not because I don’t love you, but seriously, we have a staff of like 10 and only 3 people ever really post shit. It looks bad.

Hey everybody, I’m one of the new writers for TIGSource. So all you long-time TIGgers (a horrible, if adorable appellation) let me know if I have a terrible new flavor of reporting, the Crystal Pepsi of journalism if you will. But that is neither here nor there. What brings us here today is perhaps the greatest casual games website on the net, Orisinal.
Orisinal serves as a personal portfolio/compilation of Ferry Halim’s flash games, with Halim acting as perhaps the most prolific casual games auteur outside of the shooter scene. The games featured on Orisinal are done in a wonderfully painterly style, set to gentle, melodic scores, and most importantly, are masterworks of simple interaction and design mechanisms. Most Orisinal games require only the mouse to play and resolve within minutes, but can be played again and again (and again). If coffee breaks were a docile herbivore, these seemingly tiny games would be their most voracious predator.
My personal favorite is The Runaway Train, but it would be a long and boring post if I were to describe each game, so let it suffice that I have given you the URL, pointed you in the right direction and given you a small shove. Go have fun.
