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.

]]> 03 Mar 2007 11:59:45 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 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 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.

]]> 18 Jul 2007 12:33:52 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!

]]> 06 May 2007 09:51:13 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 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 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
