N has been described as reminiscent of lode runner -- you're a little dude running around in a puzzle-y world inhabited by enemies.

But in N, there's a twist: the ninja is driven not only by a thirst for gold, but also by a physics simulation.

Death, which happens often, is quite animated.

note: death never felt so good -clint

Place your towers around the track to prevent the creeps from reaching the end. You earn interest based on the amount of gold you have left at the end of each turn, so place your towers sparingly.

A real long time ago, in the peasant kingdom of Peasantry, some people lived... in fear. You are Rather Dashing, a peasant wearing short pants, who returns from his vacation to find his thatched cottage BURNiNATED! You set out on a quest to get revenge on Trogdor once and for all. So will he stay alive and protect this peasant kingdom from burnination? YOU decide!!!

This game was made by Mike and Matt Chapman of Homestar Runner fame, and by programmer Jonathan Howe. There are several in-jokes in the game that also commonly appear on the Homestar Runner site. It's clearly inspired by older adventure games like Sierra's King's Quest series.

Stinkoman 20X6 is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars Stinkoman, an anime version of the popular Homestar Runner character Strong Bad. This game is based on the classic Capcom Mega Man series. It also parodies the poor Japanese to English translations common to video games of that era.

This game was released in installments, beginning in March 2005 with the last update in September 2005. Creators Mike and Matt Chapman have previously said that a tenth and final level would be released, but this has yet to happen.
]]> 15 Feb 2007 04:34:37 TROGDOR! "The beefy armed dragon has had it up to here with those pesky peasants. Achieve burnination and watch the countryside go up in flames." -Videlectrix

TROGDOR! is a game based on the character of Trogdor from the Homestar Runner website. You play as Trogdor, squishing peasants and burninating cottages, all while avoiding knights and archers.

It was designed by Mike and Matt Chapman and programmed by Jonathan Howe. It features several voice overs by Strong Bad and includes other references to Homestar Runner as well.

On March 12, 2007, a new version of the game designed for use with the Nintendo Wii was released, joining five other games by the same team on Viidelectrix.com.
]]> 15 Feb 2007 05:15:56 Crush the Critters
  • NOTE: This game is still in development. For news on what's going on, check out the game's home page or the official blog.*

    • Crush the Critters is a game of whack-a-mole for your feet (using the dance pad), your mouse or your keyboard (you cheater!).

    The first beta is live!

    The game has entered the first beta, which is just the Classic Mode. Some graphics still need polishing up, the sounds aren't complete, but that's what these early betas are for :) The game works, and will at least give you an idea of what's coming. Also please note that the game is more or less for kids, particularly at this stage without the humor of Adventure mode. Also please note that the game is shrunken quite a bit because of the size of the webpage! For full size play and to become an official beta tester, go to http://www.hedonismgames.com/beta/index.html

    Instructions

    Click the critters as they come out before they can hide again! You can also use keyboard keys, although it makes the game much easier. They are (corresponding to the screen squares)

    Q W E
    A ~ D (there is no middle here)
    Z X C

    A Foot-Tastic Adventure!

    As the resident Critter Stomper, your hometown has been overcome by the imminent threat of an onslaught of cute critters! It's up to you, moving from your own town, through numerous locales and ultimately into outer space to stop the critters!

    Using the typical dance pad 3x3 grid (with the exception of the middle square, of course), the player must stomp on critters as they appear on the screen.

    In classic RPG sense, collect equipment (shoes, socks, shoe laces and aglets - you know, those little things that cap the end of your shoe laces?), level up and collect money through bounties and successful missions crushing the cute-but-monstrous critters.

    Play is best with the dance pad, although the entire game can also be played with the mouse (great for Wii players) or the keyboard.

    Classic Mode

    Classic mode is just like in the arcades! Play a quick round, choosing where to crush the critters, which ones to crush, how long to play and the difficulty. When done, collect your tickets, which can be used to purchase bonuses (cheats, artwork, etc.) or printable rewards!

    Awwwww... So Cute!

    Crush the Critters has a fantastic artist - Ariel Marsh - who is handling all the great, cartoony style of the game.

    Printable Rewards

    Printable Rewards are one of the greatest things about Crush the Critters! Why just let the game sit when you're done when you can print out all sorts of things, showing off your accomplishments?

    Other Features

    Other great features of the game will include:

    • Unlockable locales (places) and critters for Classic Mode.
    • Playable on the Wii Opera Browser!
    • Cheat Modes and Challenges.

    ]]>     05 Apr 2007 01:38:30     Chick Chick Boom Developed by extra toxic and sponsored by Nintendo, Chick Chick Boom is a Worms-like Flash game that pits two teams of baby chickens against each other. Each side has a number of offensive and defensive moves to unleash by tracing their shape at the bottom of the screen. Launch bombs, poisonous mushrooms, and lightning bolts at your opponent, then use defensive moves such as a lightning rod or medicine to keep your own team safe. The goal is to stay alive as long as you can to unlock bonus downloads from the main menu.
    ]]>     06 Apr 2007 01:14:32     Proximity I made this game in 2005 as just a little thing to do in between projects, and it's spread to just about everywhere on the internet that has games and is my most popular game by far.

    It takes all the elements in common strategy game and distills them down to their core: competing for territory and having battles. However, in this game, once a tile is placed, it can no longer be moved, only captured, so unlike most strategy games, a game of Proximity is usually over in about 10 minutes. Also, since the rules are pretty simple, it appeals to a lot of people who aren't normally into the big, unwieldly, and complex strategy games out there.

    I'm currently working on a sequel, as well as looking for ways to get the game onto consoles, and hopefully a board game version eventually.
    ]]>     11 Apr 2007 03:59:23     Hot Space Injection This is a multiplayer Flash based 4X game which pretty much adheres to the style of Master of Orion 1 and 2. Just trying to make a fun multiplayer version of those classics.
    ]]>     06 May 2007 09:51:13     Submachine 4: The Lab Submachine 4: The Lab is the fourth installment of the popular Submachine Flash Puzzle/Adventure game. Created by Mateusz Skutnik, Submachine is a compelling mystery that only gets more intriguing as time goes on. Scraps of paper, words etched into walls, and archaic computers leave clues as to what the Submachine is, and how you must escape it. All of the (so far) 5 Submachine games tie into one another, and references to previous ones are riddled throughout.
    ]]>     10 May 2007 02:38:54     Enigmatica Tricky block-sliding puzzle, like a 2D Rubik's Cube. Line up the tiles in rows or columns, as fast as possible and using the least number of moves possible!
    TIP: carefully watch the instructions to understand the strategy to solve a board!
    ]]>     11 May 2007 10:02:37     The Continuum The Continuum combines classic turn-based wargaming, collectibility and RPG character development into one multi-player adventure that will change the way you game. Characters, abilities and equipment combine with in-game artifacts, epic battlefields, and changing scenarios to provide an experience that is at once familiar and all-new.

    Players will have a huge impact on the ultimate design, features, and direction that the game takes as the beta rolls out. Pre-registration for the beta is open at the official website for The Continuum.
    ]]>     17 May 2007 01:28:46     Tetrageddon Although the controls take on the basic "pentomino" controls (Up, Down, Left, Right, Space for "drop", and Q to submit your high-score), the game-play takes a very unusual spin that tickles the "nonsense" nerve. You are presented with a quiet city scene where you control heaps of rubble dropped from the sky by a tiny alien (Minibyte), who decided to "pick on the big people" by planting his "Portable Entertainment System" (a giant crane) over Earth. The goal of the game comes in three tiers: to score by squishing people, play pentomino, and challenge your reflexes as blocks fall at random speeds. The traditional set of blocks are mixed with "surprise blocks" which you have to quickly find a place for in the grid. Even the individual block tiles are purposefully vague and hard to distinguish to add to the chaos. The game is very challenging to ones reflexes. The goal is to keep your grid under control as long as possible so that you can continue scoring on pedestrians. Only those with quick fingers can survive.
    ]]>     07 Jun 2007 06:06:37     The Cowboy Game The Cowboy Game is a showcase of a platform game engine made in Flash 8. The game is meant to annoy you. Before you can fight the aliens you must equip your gun using the inventory screen, by dragging the gun into your hands. To fire the gun, you must reload it first by clicking the revolver icon on the lower-right side of the screen. Items you pick up along the way, must be equipped the same way before you can use it.

    Keys:
    Direction left/right: Move left/right
    Direction up: jump
    Spacebar: fire gun (if equipped)
    Run: equip your horse

Strangely addictive yet stress relieving... how many levels can you survive?
    ]]>     03 Jul 2007 01:44:20     Space Eggs This is a pre-cursor to Retro Blaster. Jeff just finished it off a few days ago. The game is more like traditional Asteroids, but with progressive weapons. This game loads much quicker than Retro Blaster, and it supports 100's of on-screen objects (mostly shots) with little or no slow-down. Be sure to ramp your guns up to 3 + rapid fire, hold-down [Z] and blast everything back to pixels!
    ]]>     07 Jul 2007 05:11:59     RomZom One blistering night, when all seemed quiet;
    A meteor came crashing and caused a big riot!
    To edge closer or not? A question unanswered
    as we stumbled through the forest, this way that, we
    meandered.

    Oh look! The circus is here! The children exclaimed!
    And HULABOO-BUBBLE! of the juggling clown fame!

    We entered the tent, with hopes and promises
    of wonderous activities and sugar pop molasses.

    13 green cotton candies, not 4 or 5.
    Hung high from the ceiling, swaying here, swaying by.
    But what's this? It drips! Red, sticky, warm blood.
    A low humming voice whispers, and then a THUD!
