Point and click games used to be all the craze until around the 2010s. Now, they're usually relegated to mid size productions or simple indie titles. The genre also proved incredibly popular among flash game creators, due to the relatively simple planning and programming that goes into such a game. Mateusz Skutnik is one of the best creators of the genre. He's known for his Submachine series, but he's created a lot of other series as well. 10 Gnomes is one of them. Let's look at 10 Gnomes 8: Water Forge.

To play 10 Gnomes 8: Water Forge, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

This game once again uses a photo as a background. You'll notice that the titles for the games are getting vaguer and vaguer. The Water Forge in this case is a forge by a river. The perspective is oddly eery, with you across the river and hidden by bushes - it makes one feel like a stalker.

Gameplay's simple and hasn't changed at all - you click to zoom in on certain areas and try to find the 10 gnomes in the 10 minutes you're given. The areas you can zoom in to are marked by your cursor changing so it's not exactly hard. It just means it's less about observation and more about just clicking a lot. There are still pretty much no changes gameplay-wise, but at this point, there likely won't be. A casual winning formula has been found, and there's no reason to change it.

If you're a veteran of point-and-click games, you should definitely give 10 Gnomes 8: Water Forge a try.
