McPixel

Point and click games have a long history of utterly illogical puzzles, and here is a game that gives you one of these every 20 seconds.  In every level of McPixel, your only job is to stop the bomb going off.  Whether this is done by just throwing the bomb out the window, or angering god so that he punches the bomb into oblivion, McPixel is up front about how arbitrary the puzzle solutions are. 

Fortunately for a game whose main selling point is humour, McPixel is mostly very funny.  It also pulls the same trick that The Fast Show did; it doesn't matter if a joke falls flat, there'll be another one along in 20 seconds.
