ClickDragType (version 3, just released) was the inspiration for a casual games design contest at Jay is Games. Play the games. See the winners. (All games in Flash, some require sound).

That's wierd, I meant the first link to go directly to CDT3, not the JiG review of it. I must have gotten the url wrong somehow. Anyway, hours of fun to be had with those links.

That Jay has one (1) really annoying writing style.

And why would that sort of thing annoy you? ;)

My favorite game of the competition was the honorable mention winner Gateway. JayisGames is also one of my favorite places in this crazy mixed up place we call an internet.

I'm glad you Ask(ed)Me, jay.

Why do you even let it bother you?

My website has a very large international audience and I use that notation out of respect for others whose first language is not English. Also, in my academic papers (I am still technically a graduate student until I finish my thesis) it is also common practice.

By the way, Cheers! Empath for the link. Direct links to content on my servers (Fizzlebot is a Jayisgames media server) are only allowed to come from my own domains. Otherwise HTTP requests are redirected to my review page (it helps to pay the bills.)

Thanks also to ND¢. I am pleased you are not annoyed by our content. =)

I hadn't realized that you were hosting CDT.

I liked the games, but hated that none had instructions at all. Casual games shouldn't take so much time to figure out.

I loved the CDT games I could figure out, and I really hated the ones I couldn't. That probably says more about me than the game, though.

Jay, I don't really have an opinion either way on the writing style, but I really appreciate the site and accompanying support for the casual games community.
