If you're eating, you might not want to read this. In the flash game I'm about to link you to, you control a little creature that looks a bit like Kirby who uses vomit as a projectile. Hurl in one direction, and you'll be propelled in the opposite.

In some cases, you end up in pits that need filling up with puke before you can swim out. Other times, you run out of chunder in your gut and have to 'fill up' by eating barf left by someone else before you can continue.

I'm starting to feel a bit queasy, so I'll leave the rest to you. Play the game online on Newsgrounds here, and direct download it here.

It seems that the boys in the Fire Brigade have been using their spare time to learn flash coding, because the government's just put out a flash game that teaches people how to prepare for emergencies.

Aside from the slight insanity of kites blocking your safe path out of your house, it's really well put-together and quite good fun. I got to about 6,000 points or so before feeling like I ought to get on with some work. How well do you manage? Give it a try right here:

Tetris, a perennial favourite among puzzle games, has been remade in HD for a modern audience. "Oh no!", you cry, "they've only gone and done a Phantom Menace on it!" - but fear not, for this is just as pure as the original. All they've done is increase the resolution. Massively.

So much so, that it now takes a good seven or eight minutes to make a line, and the record for even losing is somewhere around six minutes. Can you lose quicker than that? Our comments section is broken, so send us a tweet instead. @techdigest is what you're after.

The competition is certainly hotting up. The mysterious Vince won last week's challenge with a mighty 13,728,350 score, obliterating the second place score of 34,170 from Neil. Vince says he played for an entire semester to get that good. That or he's making up numbers. We'll never know.

This week, we've got Perfect Balance. It's less reliant on having a good mouse, you'll be pleased to hear. It's more of a puzzler, involving the stacking of blocks so that they don't fall. I managed a score of 16091, on level 18, before getting stuck. How far can you get? Entries in the comments below, please.

Last week's Flash Game Challenge was won by the illustrious, the magisterial, the benevolent and formidable commenter David. He rules, ladies and gentlemen. For a week anyway. Want to take his crown? Well then you better be good at making little rabbit sprites jump into bells.

That's right, this week, the game I've picked is Winterbells. To coincide with the mountains of snow outside, this game features frozen water too. Tonnes of it. I managed a top score of 4690, but I just know that you can do a lot better than that. Prove me right in the comments below.

Last week's Flash Game Challenge victor was won by Neil, with a world-beating score of 16,045,290 on his 3rd try. Not bad at all. Give yourself a pat on the back, Neil.

This week, there's a more cerebral game for you. It's a bit like a budget version of amazing TV gameshow Catchphrase, where it presents you with a phrase depicted graphically, and you have to work out which one, of three, it's supposed to be,

You'll need your thinking cap on for this - get it wrong, and you lose a life. Lose three lives and you're out. I scored 24 in 112 seconds on my second go. Beat that, and post your winning score in the comments below.

Last week's cricketastic Flash Game Challenge was won by commenter Alan, who hit my score for six with a mighty 127 runs. A polite round of applause for him, please, ladies and gentlemen.

As for this week, well, today is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year, so I wanted to pick something to warm your cold little hearts. How about helping some deer cross a forest stream, with rays of light cascading all around? On my first go, I scored a pathetic 9750. The second time, I scored a far more respectable 4991950. Can you beat it? Entries, as ever, in the comments.
