Orisinal has been one of my favorite pastime online. It is the brain child of Ferry Halim, a professional flash artist based out of Clovis, CA. He started this site for fun in 2000, and kept adding new games to it ever since.
His graphic style is clean, refreshing and whimsical. The game play is simple yet addictive, though wonderfully well rounded when it comes to user experience (he thought of all the conditions of game interactions).
My favorite games are "A Daily cup of tea", in which a team of 2 tiny mice tries to steal a whole cupboard full of sugar cubes, evading bouncing balls, falling books and bees. Another one of my favorites is "Cats", in which the player "herds" cats, its quite ingenious how he (presumably?) used the invisible buttons as cats.
He has since started developing/converting some of the popular games into iOS games. I have a couple of these games, and he has not only incorporated simple game play from Flash but also user experiences unique to iOS such as the accelerometer. I highly recommend these games (online and on iOS).
