Friverr Flash Games Review

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of friverr.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

When it comes to online games, the simplest games to play are the flash games. Of course, we owe everything to the software Adobe Flash for allowing us to enjoy these things nowadays. The Adobe Flash software along with the creative minds of animators are the ones who are responsible for the interactive games that we enjoy nowadays called “flash games”. And the best place to go in the internet if you would like to play several games of this kind is friv or Friverr. Friverr offers a wide variety of flash games to choose from. You can shift from one game to another if you want to.

As what I have said, there are so many games to choose from in Friverr. For the record, there are games that you used to play in social media that are present in here such as Candy Crush Saga, Bejeweled, Flappy Bird, and many more. It only shows that this is your ultimate place to stay if you want to enjoy playing your games or you are simply curious about other available games.

Personally, I love playing Plants vs. Zombies though this is an old game already.  This is a tower defense video game that I can play with the use of mouse and that’s quite relaxing for me. I’m a nature lover and this probably fueled my desire to play the game until now. I have crushed so many zombies in my entire career and I am thankful for PopCap Games for creating this one.

In Friverr, there are so many games to choose from. In fact, if you will arrive at its homepage alone, you don’t need to open any page just to access to them because their clickable thumbnails are present there. Everything is free in Friverr and this is an advantage to gamers. Flash games are played not just in computers but in smartphones as well and you will enjoy playing games offered by Friverr if your gadget has a flash player application installed in it.

Since I have played a lot of flash games already, I would like to try something new. And I have chosen Mimelet because of its simplicity. According to my research, the game is about Mimelet jumping on top of its enemies for the purpose of stealing powers. Mimelet will face a lot of obstacles along the way and success depends upon the skill of the player. The concept of this game is similar to that of the classic Super Mario.
The key to playing these games is having flash player installed in your gadget, I repeat. You can start downloading your free flash player online and install it either in your computer or smartphone. Stop having a monotonous day by finding excitement in games. With simple flash games in Friverr, it is possible for you to let of the stress of the day. This is also good if you would like to let go for a while from the bondage of work.

Tips to make the most out of your time

Tips to make the most out of your time

Do you feel that you don't have enough time to do everything you need to do in a day?

ANC On The Money's resident financial advisor Salve Duplito said time is man's biggest money-making resource.

In business and in one's personal life, Duplito said one should accomplish the most important things first. "This sounds so simple but difficult to do without actively watching how you spend your time," she said.

Most people are easily distracted by Facebook that they find themselves wasting hours of their time just looking at friends' photos and viral videos.

"Most of us these days get hooked on the least important stuff. At the end of the day, we miss opportunities to deepen a relationship with a client or understand more about a new investment opportunity. Worse, you don't have enough time to spend with your spouse and kids," she said.

Duplito suggests identifying the biggest priorities in your life. "Think about your non-negotiables, making them your priorities will help you earn more money or avoid losing money," she said.

Non-negotiables:

1. Quality time with God, spouse, children, parents or siblings.

"I'm sure that no one on their deathbed would say, I wish I spent more time in the office. Putting family first has big financial implications... Children who get more quality time with their parents tend to ask for fewer toys. Spouses who spend more quality time together end up having happier, longer marriages. Never forget that with the cost of annulment these days, it's always cheaper to keep your spouse."

2. Budget and track your finances.

"I suggest you consider budgeting and tracking your finances. With everything that goes on in a day, it's hard to track what goes out of your wallet. But when you don't, you are sure to lose money. Tracking your spending vis-a-vis your goals for each budget category will help you know at any point in time, whether you are overspending or not."

"The best-selling book and personal finance classic 'The Millionaire Next Door' by Thomas Stanley and William Danko surveyed more than 1,000 wealthy individuals in the US. It discovered that the truly wealthy in terms of assets, not measured by size of expensive houses or model of cars, spend a lot of time budgeting and tracking their spending."

3. Educate yourself about investments.

"Don't depend solely on sales people. It takes time and patience. Even if you're a doctor, there's no reason why you shouldn't understand how companies and the stock market work."

Duplito suggests using a timer when checking your emails or going on Facebook or other social networks, to ensure you are focused on your task. Another way of making sure you are on track with your tasks is by creating a "to-do list."

"There's one thing we share with the Bill Gates and Warren Buffetts of the world. We all have only 24 hours in a day. Using time wisely is the secret of many of the wealthiest and most successful people in the world," she said.

To get Fit: Eat more, Exercise Less

To get Fit:  Eat more, Exercise Less

Model-actor turned fitness consultant Edward Mendez is encouraging Filipinos to eat more and exercise less if they want to lose unnecessary fat and gain more muscle.

After testing it for himself and getting a lean physique, Mendez now actively promotes this fitness principle by holding classes and writing a book titled “Your Dream Body Come True.”

In an interview on “Mornings@ANC” on Wednesday, Mendez said the key to getting a strong and lean body is eating healthy food often and having quick, intense workouts.

He observed how a lot of people tend to exercise too much and starve themselves in an effort to slim down.

“Don’t starve yourself because if you do that, the thyroid gland will sense that there is no food coming in. The metabolism will go down and the fat, which is considered reserve energy, will be stored and will become more stubborn to burn,” he explained.

“That’s the common problem – they keep losing weight but they’re not satisfied with the shape of their bodies because they’re not really losing fat, they’re also losing muscles,” he explained.

“Most people like to train two to three hours in the gym,” he added. “The problem with that kind of regimen is they’re damaging their bodies more. And when they do that, muscles are being eaten up and the metabolism also goes down.”
One of Mendez’ clients or “jedis” as he calls them is “Mornings@ANC” host Pinky Webb, who attested to the intensity and effectiveness of his program.

Referring to Webb, he said: “Not only is she getting thinner but she is also getting strong. She started with the squats, now she is doing [more intense workouts].”
Mendez said that with his program, results can easily be seen after three months. His basic tips for a “dream body” include eating healthy food every three hours, working out for a total of four hours a week, and giving the body enough time to rest.

“You do cardio in one day for 23 minutes and you’re done. The next day, you do weight training for 45 minutes and then you’re done. So that’s three days of weight lifting and three days of cardio,” he said. “You focus more on nutrition. It’s 70% nutrition and 30% training.”

“You have to rest also. If you work out almost every day doing weight training or running, you’re not giving the body enough time to repair. Because every time you step into the gym, you’re damaging your body. You got to give your body some rest to complete the repair of the muscles. When you do that, that’s when you burn fat and shape your body up,” he added.
Mendez also advised those who want to get fit to avoid stress as much as possible.

“You have to control your stress level. Stress is the main culprit to weight gain and many other health complications. If you’re not stressed, you can easily burn fat and gain muscles,” he said.

After Flappy Bird, get ready for Flappy fish, Flappy Bieber, Flappy sperm, Flappy Troll and etc.

After Flappy Bird, get ready for Flappy fish, Flappy Bieber, Flappy sperm, Flappy Troll and etc.

Flappy Bieber, anyone? How about Flappy Fish or Flappy Sperm?

The success of Flappy Birds has led developers around the world to create their own versions of the mobile game. While some are outright copies of the game, featuring birds as well, others put a different spin to it, some ridiculous and some more successful than others.

Aside from the local version "Pugo," other versions include parodies designed for laughs, featuring flying mustaches, Cupid, spermatozoa, and Justin Bieber, and characters popularized in memes such as Doge, Nyan Cat, and the troll face.

One amusing variant, named Flappy Pipe, turns the tables on the well-loved (or hated) yellow bird, and requires the user to move pipes in order to avoid flying fowl.

While purists may scoff at the clones, players of the original game who are looking for a change ought to find them refreshing. In any case, they make great conversation starters.

Here are some of the numerous "Flappy" games on the Google Play and Apple App stores:

Flappy Stache by Team Chaos (Android and iOS)

One of the best-crafted among the Flappy Birds clones, Flappy Stache is made by Team Chaos, which holds the honor of being a Top Developer in the Google Play Store. The game plays smoothly and builds on the appeal of Flappy Birds by using a different, funnier character and adding music, sounds and animations.

Players get to play as a flying mustache, which gets "shaved" when it gets too close to electric razors which the game uses in place of boring old pipes.

Flappy Fish by Frojo Labs (Android)

This game uses non-pixel drawings, which is refreshing if you want your games to have a more polished look. It is ideal for the young’uns as it has a rather cute fish swimming through obstacles in the ocean.

Honorable mention: Flappy Fish by Octacore (Android) – This game poses a challenge for people who have gotten used to Flappy Birds by inverting the movement of the character. Instead of moving up when the player taps, the fish "dives" or moves down.

Flappy Gangnam by Awesome Crazy Fun Free Kids Games (Android)

This game is great for “Gangnam Style”-obsessed kids, as it allows the player three tries at the same level, and also features a small Psy lookalike flying through large gaps. However, parents should be wary as the game has in-game purchases, and the ads can be annoying.

Flappy Bieber by App5ive (Android)

Fans of Justin Bieber may like Flappy Bieber because they get to control the pop star’s face. His haters would probably enjoy it too, for the privilege of making his disembodied head hit obstacles while the classic cartoon sound signifying dizziness plays.

Flappy Stars - Miley Wrecking Ball Edition by Storm Factory (iOS)

If Justin Bieber is on the Google Play Store, Miley Cyrus is on the Apple App Store. In Flappy Stars, a caricature of Miley Cyrus, complete with protruding tongue and blonde hair, travels through gaps in pipes collecting—and trailing—hearts.

Honorable mention: Fallout Birds – This game features the members of the band Fall Out Boy. Instead of pipes, the band members have to pass through gaps in between guitars.

Flappy Troll by EgxGameFree (Android)

Set against a scene of the city by night, Flappy Troll stars the troll face, first popularized online as a meme. The troll face must avoid pipes just like in the original. Game play seems easier than the original, as the troll face does not jump too high when the screen is tapped, allowing for more controlled movements.

Flappy Sperm by mantisincgameproductions (Android)

This game presents a reproductive health angle, prominently featuring a spermatozoa swimming through a woman’s reproductive tract in its quest to fertilize the egg cell. The title screen also features a condom, with the text "Birth Control." While probably not for young children, the game ought to provide some hours of tongue-in-cheek fun for open-minded adults.

Flappy Pipe by WAEEBA (Android)

If you thought Flappy Bird was difficult, you should try playing Flappy Pipe. This clone game reverses the original—instead of players controlling the bird, they control the pipes. If you’ve mastered the original game, this ought to present much more of a challenge, as you have to perfect just when to move the pipes so the bird is able to move through the gap.

Flappy Pipe – Revenge of the Birds by Ben Gaddy (iOS)

In this game, as the name implies, it is the pipe's turn to fly and run smack into birds. It is a fun twist to the game, with the pipe inexplicably growing wings and sharp-beaked birds threatening its every move. Learning to control the flying pipe presents a challenge, as even a slight tap makes the pipe fly way up, and not tapping makes it quickly fall down.

Flappy Superhero Birds by Free Hot Games (iOS)

This game proves harder to play than Flappy Birds, as instead of tapping, you have to hold your finger down on the screen and release as needed in order to get the bird to remain at the best height to avoid obstacles and get the rewards. As the developers say in the game’s description in the App Store, it is "possibly the hardest game in the world!" You have been warned.
