Aaaaaaand there's seemingly no way to actually play the games. I just keep getting that stupid "sponsored by" screen and taken back to the main page.

Wow... I beat Clack and Thief, those were pretty cool. Go waste half an hour on these, they're nifty!

Frustrating? Mmm... If you play them for more than 15 seconds you'll start to figure them out. ;-) I had a great time with them all, especially Cyberpunk, Thief, Keys, and the sound-based Jewel Drop. Some really talented game designers.
