The unique artwork for a Flash game has a paper-cut appearance that lends a storybook atmosphere to the game. This environment perfectly suits the role you play as a young seedling trying to find its way home. Sprout has everything we love to see in a Flash game: originality, a simple design, and a beautiful presentation. (qtd. from Jayisgames.com)

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!

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 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.

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.

]]> 15 Feb 2007 06:26:45 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.

    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!

    ]]>     11 May 2007 10:02:37     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.
