I have found this little flash gem through RockPaperShotgun. The premise of Endless Migration is simple: you are a goose, the leader of the flock, whose job is to gather scattered geese and lead them for as long as you can, avoiding planes, helicopters zeppelins and UFOs. Add some simple graphics and couple of sounds and you get your average flash time-killer for a couple of minutes when you are tragically bored in the office.
Geese nightmare
But there's more to Endless Migration - add a little background story, achievements and upgrade system and suddenly what you get is your new flash addiction that will sap your time like a much bigger game would. The core gameplay gets much more appreciated when it's cleverly spiced up with smart achievements (Bourgeoisie and Consolation Prize cracked me up) and upgrades that influence the game style (some manipulation is necessary to be able to complete some more twisted goals, such as being a snob and having one's flock composed entirely of swans).
Overall, a barrel of fun, which I have explored down to the bottom and heartily recommend to anyone who is not overburdened with work at this very moment.
