It's that time of the year again and it's a tradition here at bontegames to present you my personal top 10 games of the year. 2011 was once more an excellent year for web games, so fire up your favorite browser and work your way through the bontegames 2011 top 10 list of free web games:

10. Cardboard box assembler by @zurashu and @compositeredfox
A cardboard box assembler got stuck in a box and it took a lot of stylish 3d puzzling to get him back out. (original post)


9. Snailiad by @auriplane
A giant exploration platformer that got a lot of love here from the bontegames visitors. (original post)


8. Skinny by @senordarcee
A beautiful platforming adventure game that required you to help Skinny save the apocalyptic world. (original post)

Yoshio Ishii expanded the Hoshi universe again in 2011. (original post)

The story of a boy and the story of a girl in a clever puzzle platformer. (original post)

A puzzle game where you needed to save your fellow brothers and sisters in an extremely stylish way. (original post)


4. The end of us by @manojalpa and @OneMrBean
An experimental and moving game about two comets and the end of us. (original post)


3. Wonderputt by @dampgnat
Adventure golf, but with cows, toads, ski slopes, torpedos and a sprinkle of alien abduction for good measure. (original post)


2. Impasse by @leehsl
A minimalist puzzle game where you needed to discover the rules yourself as you made your way to the goal of each level. (original post)


1. The i of it by @gameshotorg
The story about the I of It on his quest to find the t again, an original platforming adventure and my number 1 free webgame for 2011. (original post)


That's it for my personal favourites for 2011. What were yours? Did I forget some really nice ones? Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments!

2011 was also a productive bontegames year with no less than 4 new games that hit your browsers: Sugar, sugar, 14 locks, Factory Balls 4 and Sugar, sugar, the Christmas special. Watch out for more bontegames in 2012!

OMG! I love all of the games on this list! Oh, and....... FIRST! :)

IThinkSnowIsInteresting said...

same as above! Um... SECOND!!! :D

My favorite out of the list is Brother. I love all of them though. :)

Anonymous said...

I think Wonderputt should have been 1st and the I of it second, but all in all a pretty good list.

Pam said...

the I of it was really original! and since we all know how humble Bart is, I insist on including Sugar, Sugar into the 2011 hit games! ;)

MJM said...

Really cool list, I was looking forward to it all year! My favorite was The End Of us.

Gwenda said...

I'd like to include Factory Balls 4 as well; really love that :)
Brother was my favourite out of this list.
I also really liked Dibbles 2 - winter woes

Pam said...

Yes last Dibbles really rocked! another great game was about the robot and his cruel mum (don't remember the name)

CheddarMelt said...

My favorite was 14 locks! Make another one of those!

KittenMitten said...

The "I of It" I could not figure out. Can someone give me a walkthrough. I know that there is a visual walkthrough but I do better with word walkthroughs. Other than that I love the games on the list. My favorites are "One and One Story" and "Brother".

Pam said...

other games which i liked are: pursuit of hat, You are a box, Langman, and THE END was a super game. (by the way, the robot and mother game was called K.O.L.M.)

-k said...

Fantastic list, Bart. Happy to have played through most of them with you over the year. I'd also have added several of your games to the top. Thanks for another great year of games!

NotMarian said...

Wow, I don't think I played any of these games. :(

NotMarian said...

I did play all of Bart's games, though.

Queen Fume-Boo said...

I, personally, was a huge fan of "The I of It", and I was so happy to see it rank so high on this list. :)

Queen Fume-Boo said...

Also, I LOVED Snailiad. Had me hooked for a while. Wish it could've ranked higher, though.

kjen said...

Hey Bart.. Thanks for many many hours of fun throughout the year.. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family.. Love from Australia.

Rava said...

I played (and liked) all the games in this list, but my favourite ones are One And One Story, The I Of It and Wonderputt (it was GREAT!).

But I couldn't have played any of those games without Bontegames, so... THANK YOU, BART!!! "Buon natale e buon anno nuovo!" (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Italy!) :D

Ana also Happy Holidays to all the timewasters from all around the world!! XD

dyork said...

Played 'em all, but didn't like 'em all. Not many of my favorites on this list.

I'm not a fan of puzzle platformers, but I do like escape games, removers, block puzzles, innovation and 'figure out the rules as you play'. Perhaps there should be a 'best' in each genre.

Bart's factory balls and sugar games are innovative, and deserve special mention.

Yes, keep up the good work. We need you.

my favorite was the end of us. it is such a beautiful "game".

Jane said...

Merry Christmas to my favourite games site, always has JUST the kind of games I like to play - I LOVE Sugar Sugar, Bart. x

Jane said...

Nearly forgot to mention Factory Balls! Another one of my faves. Thanks Bart.

Queen Fume-Boo said...

I was also a huge fan of "Mimelet" ...Or was that from last year? :/

Bravo et continuez.

@ A PERSON
aww. i am usually the 500000th 2 comment also. but it means " hello my name is (your name here) what do you call yourself?"

Anonymous said...

@A person
It's actually:
Bonjour, je m'appelle ________.
Comment t'appelles tu?
or Comment vous appellez vous?

Lilian said...

Wow, I usually agree with you on most of your choices. But this year I don't, hah. Probably because of all the platform games, which isn't usually what I love the most. :)
