The genre also proved incredibly popular among flash game creators, due to the relatively simple planning and programming that goes into such a game. Some decided to take the hardcore puzzle route. One of them is Dismantlement: Barber Pole.

To play Dismantlement: Barber Pole, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

The gameplay is simple but addictive. You have a screwdriver, and there's a barber pole in front of you. Your goal is to completely dismantle the...bomb inside the pole before it explodes. You can click on certain areas for close ups so you can interact closely, and there is a particular puzzle either requiring a genius level of spatial awareness or a real life paper and scissors to model it out. It seems like it's much more difficult than most puzzles in the series.

What sets this series apart is the feeling it gives. It's similar to building a lego, only in reverse. The progress you're making right before your own eyes is its own reward.

This series of games All in all, if you're a fan of point-and-click puzzle games, then Dismantlement: Barber Pole is a great way to waste 10 minutes of your time. The steady stream of progress is immensely satisfying.
