2009 top 10 web games

2009 was again an excellent year for web games, so fire up your favorite browser and work your way through the bontegames 2009 top 10 list of free web games:


10. Music Catch 2 by Reflexive Entertainment
My nr.1 choice webgame of 2008 got a sequel in 2009: more relaxation and excitation combined in a unique game. (original post)


9. Lights by Neutral
Neutral certainly knows how to make a good escape the room game that is pleasing both visually and mentally. (original post)


8. Canabalt by Adam Atomic and Danny B
Sometimes pressing just one button is enough to have the most addictive game. (original post)


7. Fig.8 by Intuition Games
Stylish and original, two keywords that perfectly fit this Intuition game. (original post)


6. Closure by Tyler Glaiel
Excellent and stylish platform puzzler done in a unique way. (original post)


5. Drifting Afternoon by Ferry Hamim
Perhaps the dreamiest timewaster of 2009, but also the most addicting one. (original post)


4. The Company Of Myself by Eli Pülonen
A clever platformer in the company of a gripping storyline. (original post)


3. Windosill by Vectorpark
Vectorpark once more perfected the art of pointing and clicking in interactive landscapes full of strange creatures and surreal details (note: the full version is not free). (original post)


2. Machinarium by Amanita Design
The long awaited point and click adventure from the makers of Samorost (note: the full version is not free). (original post)


1. Don't Look Back by Terry Cavanagh
My number 1 webgame for 2009: a brilliant minimalistic platforming experience that you simply have to play till the very end. (original post)


What were your 2009 personal favorites? Did I forget some really nice ones? Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments!

2009 was also a productive bontegames year with no less than 3 bonte games that hit your browsers: Me And The Key, Must Pop Words and Full Moon.
Watch out for more bontegames in 2010!
