The hang glider game is fun. I'll try to explain it by text, but if you need I can make an audio demo too.
Basically it's all about managing your descent. So you start out at -20 points and you're flying forward. The farther you fly forward, the higher your score gets (you check your score with s). You're also slowly descending as you fly (use d to check your altitude).
You can't change your altitude directly but you can fly into updrafts and downdrafts to change it. Steering into an updraft will make your altitude go higher, and steering into a downdraft will make your altitude go lower.
Don't aim for every updraft or downdraft though. The point of the game is to keep checking your altitude and score often, and when your score is close to 20, your altitude should be close to 0. Thus you have to use the updrafts and downdrafts wisely i.e. if you're score is close to 20 and you're high in the air, look for downdrafts to pull you down. If you're approaching altitude 0 but you're still far away from 20 points, look for updrafts to keep you from landing prematurely. I generally like to stay between altitudes 10-20 or thereabouts.
You can also change your speed with the up and down arrow keys. All this does is change your movement speed. Higher speed = faster forward movement and faster descent, but high speeds also will make it difficult to keep everything in check and will also reduce how effective the drafts are, since you won't remain near them for as long. I'm not sure if hang glider is a competition game though. It would be interesting if it was, since there's really no time constraint otherwise.
The gollumns game is indeed tricky. From what I can tell, in order to mark a gollumn, you have to get close to it and hit f, but you'll only survive if the gollumn is headed away from you, which means you have to chase it down, mark it, then quickly run the other way before it comes back. If you try to mark while one is heading toward you, he'll clobber you before you can get away.
You have to mark 5 gollumns to succeed, and they all seem to be located on their own little platforms which are separated by walls and ladders. I've never seen two gollumns roaming one section, so try to only pick out the one you're heading toward and focus exclusively on that one. It's tricky and the time limit makes it trickier still, but for me at least, it's not in my top 3 hardest games. Maybe top 4 though. Lol
HTH.
Make more of less, that way you won't make less of more!
