It has been awhile since we posted a free flash game here on the Game Giants Blog. The lack of free flash games does not signal an end to our goal of providing a guide to finding the “Best Free Flash and Casual Games” on the net, nor have we stopped scouring the net playing free flash games. The reason we have not posted many flash games recently, as we discussed in a previous post, is simple: The quality of free flash games has taken a turn for the worse. We do not expect this trend to change anytime soon, but we will continue to evaluate the free flash games. When we find a gem of a game we will surely post it!

An example of one of these rare gems is the free flash puzzle game Trains. In Trains your goal is fairly simple, assemble a train of various engines and cars and direct it to a station. Although the concept is simple on each level you are faced with a number of variables and obstacles that create the puzzles.

Each level of Trains presents a unique set of engines, cars, switches and track layouts all with different attributes. In some levels engines can move in two directions, in other levels the engines can only proceed in one direction. In some levels you must repair broken track before your train may pass the damaged area. In this case you must use the track repair car to do this. In some levels you need to use switching stations to rearrange car order, defense cars to fight rebels, reversing platforms to turn engines around….  You get the idea. The variety is the greatest thing about this game and every level is truly unique. There seems to be a limitless number of new cars, switches, buildings and hazards in the puzzle.

Although the solutions are complex, the game is also very forgiving. You may find yourself failing several times trying to solve a given level, but eventually you will arrive at a solution. There is no real time limit on levels so you can use your full mental powers to derive solutions as well. The game provides buttons to speed up the game, slow it down or reset a level. All of these tools really enhance game play by reducing the chance of getting stuck on a level or at least minimizing the pain when you do get stuck.

We are glad to see a new, quality free flash game! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
