Grzegorz Kozakiewicz’s Pencil Rebel is made with “Interactive Mixed Media Web Design”, which basically means that he takes cardboard, clay, and whatever else he can find lying around the house and turns it into a website.
Forget Web 2.0; this is Web 0.5, but it’s fantastic, and it shows what’s possible with a ton of imagination, a fair amount of skill with an X-acto knife, and lots and lots of patience.
The goal is to work your way through the puzzle, finding places and secrets along the way, but the journey is definitely greater than the goal, and you’ll enjoy the neat little touches that he added in along the way.

Shift is like the poor man’s Portal. To solve this puzzle platformer, you must ‘shift’ between yourself and your shadow.
Think of it as a 2D Paper Mario.

Orbox B is a fun and challenging puzzle game where the goal is to simply move your square to the red square.

If you already consider yourself a Sudoku master, and you’re looking for your next (and hopefully tougher) challenge, it might be time to give Kakuro a try. Kakuro puzzles are similar to crosswords, but use numbers instead of clues. The aim of the game is to fill in all of the blank squares using only the numbers 1-9, so that the numbers that you add in add up to the corresponding clues. Seems simple, but since each puzzle has only one unique solution, looks can surely be deceiving. Since it’s a great way to tune up your brain, and is the next logical step in the puzzle world, you’d better break out your pencils and get ready for the challenge, because Kakuro is coming.
