If you’re reading this, you’re just a click away from ‘Procrastination Land.’ It’s a glorious place where you don’t have to worry about answering emails and nothing gets done, a paradise where browser games about sharks biting helicopters and naked men riding tiny bicycles in the snow are the norm. Scroll onward for GamesRadar’s latest picks for the most bizarre and beautiful Flash games we can’t stop playing, and keep your productivity level to a minimum by click-clicking your days away.
Miami Shark
First, we read the title. It made us laugh. Then, we saw the title screen. We laughed some more. Finally, we started playing Miami Shark - and that’s when we realized that we just stumbled upon one of the best games, ever. Use the arrow keys to dive deep into the water to build up speed, then launch yourself into the air to bite swimmers, boaters, and pretty much anything that you can sink your teeth into. The best part is when you manage to lock on to an aircraft between with your deadly jaws. That’s when the game tells you to mash the ‘down’ key to pull helicopters and airplanes to a watery death.

Fig. 8
Who would’ve guessed that a game about diagrams could be so beautiful, so engaging, and so much fun? Steer your bicycle past increasingly complex figures while deftly dodging lines and tempting danger to increase your score multiplayer. Fig. 8 looks amazing in motion – and screenshots just don’t do it justice, so check out the trailer below or just follow the link above to give it a spin.
Icycle
Everyone enters this world naked, cold and confused – and that’s exactly how you start out in this trippy Flash game. With nothing but your birthday suit and a tiny bicycle to your name, you’re charged with the task of following a mysterious trail of frozen soap bubbles left by… well, we don’t want to spoil the surprise.

People Stacker (Hito Tsumi)
Pile up people in awkward poses without letting your tower topple over. The Japanese title for this game is ‘Hito Tsumi,’ which can be roughly translated as ‘People Stacker.’
Auditorium
A visually stunning puzzle game that will leave you in a trance, Auditorium has you bending lines of light to your will with gravity nodes in order to bring the music in each stage to life.
