Keylight
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - Hakim El Hattab
Another Chrome Experiment, but pretty much a finished article. Use pointer control and a double-click to create new nodules, then drag them to reposition them. The sound they make depends upon proximity and positioning.
Keylight plays a bit like a three-dimesional, free form tonematrix. And in the same way it rewards experimentation. Very different though is the ease of making a harmonious composition, which is still proving elusive (see video) at time of publishing!

THE CURFEW
By Daleson
PC (opens in a browser) - Littleloud/Channel 4
'It's 2027. Welcome to Britain.'
The Curfew is an online game that you control using only
your mouse. The game is based in the near future and your mission
is to make sure that some important information doesn't end
up in the wrong hands.
The game does explain itself as you go along, although for me it
felt like i was on a rollercoaster. It's a fast paced game so if
your a slow reader like me then i wouldn't advise you to play
it!

Soccer Balls
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - robotJAM
"Annoy the referee's by kicking balls at them!"
'Soccer Balls' describes itself as a 'soccer physics-based puzzle action game.' This sums the game up quite well and is perhaps why it can be found to be so engrossing. The puzzle element balances the ease of the gameplay action to create a game in which the main barrier to playing it successfully is finding ways round the obstacles between your team and a ball in the referees face.

Power Soccer
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - Power Challenge Soccer
Power Soccer is a 3D football game, which is played in your browser. Meaning that whilst it is by no means Fifa or PES, it can be played on virtually any computer provided you have a good internet connection.
Pointer control can be used as the sole input for gameplay. Move the cursor to move the direction and dribble with a player whilst in posession. Click into space or on another player to pass. When the opposition has the ball tackle with a left click (or equivelant). To shoot on goal aim the cursor at the net and click as with tackling or passing.

Red Remover
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - TheGameHomepage
A charming little game in the same vein as Hungry Shapes and with the same ruthless message i.e. "Red shapes are MISERABLE. Remove them all by clicking on them."
Things start off slowly with the first levels simply aimed at teaching you the various ways of getting rid of the red shapes. As the levels progress and you are confident with the rules, you are challenged to think a little more for yourself, finding more and more imaginative ways of getting rid of the reds whilst leaving the cheerful greens happy and content on the screen.

Dreams
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - difference games
Dreams is a relaxing spot the difference game with no time restrictions (though speedy players will recieve Time Bonuses) and no quick reactions required.
The game is entirely pointer controlled with a left click required for selection. The targets are fairly small, therefore accurate cursor control is required.
Each time you start to play 'Dreams' you will notice that the differences vary, extending the gameplay time and allowing for repeated play. Play with 'Hints' on or off. When 'Hints' are activated, the items deemed as differences will move slightly the first time a cursor is placed over one.

Plasma Tree
By Bill (R&D, SpecialEffect)
PC (opens in a browser) - mhepekka
A lovely touchscreen (or any other pointer method) activity, requiring minimal input. Touch the screen (or left click when using a cursor) to start a new tree shoot growing. Fill up the screen with as many or as few as you like.
Due to the open nature of the activity and lack of any sort of time element, it lends itself well to pointer control and selection practice.

Trail 2 (of 3) is a great activity for practising cursor control whatever your access method.
