]]> 28 Jul 2007 09:29:44 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!
]]> 18 Jul 2007 11:35:47 Sprout Sprout is a creative and original adventure puzzle game created by Jeff Nusz. From the moment you lay eyes on it you know it's something special. 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)
]]> 29 Jun 2007 03:49:32 Miestas Created by Jurgis Jonaitis and Justinas Malijonis, Miestas is actually a follow-up to Menulis. Both games incorporate hand-drawn graphics and animation, and create a surreal world adventure to point-and-click through.
]]> 29 Jun 2007 03:22:48 Progress Quest Progress Quest is a next generation computer role-playing game. Gamers who have played modern online role-playing games, or almost any computer role-playing game, or who have at any time installed or upgraded their operating system, will find themselves incredibly comfortable with Progress Quest's very familiar gameplay.

Progress Quest follows reverently in the footsteps of recent smash hit online worlds, but is careful to streamline the more tedious aspects of those offerings. Players will still have the satisfaction of building their character from a ninety-pound level 1 teenager, to an incredibly puissant, magically imbued warrior, well able to snuff out the lives of a barnload of bugbears without need of so much as a lunch break. Yet, gone are the tedious micromanagement and other frustrations common to that older generation of RPG's.
]]> 26 Jun 2007 12:02:47 Pazzesco The game stars a... thing...
The rest of the storyline is still a working progress...
The gameplay is purely adventure/platformer. There are no enemies in the game, which might scare away a lot of gamers, but its more about story, finding new items, planting seeds, and more.
What makes it unique is the fact that there is no enemies, the art is very cool, and its going to be a storyline with a lot of twists, turns, and comedy.

WARNING: there are 3 things that may come as a bit of a shock.
1- There is no sound... yet. If you have musical skills, please contact.
2-There is a glitch that I am not able to run into at all, but others have seen it. I suspect it may be because of computer specs, but either way if you see this, I'd appreciate if you took a screenshot and explain what you did.
3-There isn't much to do yet... This is more of a tech demo than a gameplay demo, but if you want to help give ideas, etc then please contact.
]]> 12 Jun 2007 01:10:17 Nick Bounty: A Case of the Crabs
Something stinks and it smells like crab, only there's something funny about these crustaceans. You play as Detective Nick Bounty, who despite his ability to solve the most tangled cases, has yet to work for a paying client. This time it's up to you to discover who knocked off a local seafood salesman and get to the bottom of a diabolical counterfeiting operation!
]]> 24 May 2007 06:43:45 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 Metal Burger You play as Metal Burger, a burger who absolutely loves Heavy Metal music. Sadly, he has lost all ten of his favorite metal CD's, and they've been scattered all over the (unusually small) world he lives in. To make matters worse, he only has 3 minutes to get them back (for no apparent reason)! You'll need to make him run and jump his way through the world in order to retrieve the CD's with as much time and health left as possible.
]]> 29 Mar 2007 07:45:32 Troll's Tale Troll's Tale is an adventure game created by Al Lowe (Leisure Suit Larry, The Black Cauldron). An evil troll has hidden the treasures of the Dwarf King, and it is up to you to get them back!

Each screen featured a graphic and a menu of decisions. If you find the treasure, but the troll is on the screen at the same time, you would not be able to pick up the treasure.
]]> 19 Mar 2007 02:19:17 It's a Magical World I was walking in my back yard the other day and wishing I had a wonderland to explore like Calvin and Hobbes. It always seemed like they had miles and miles of forest and adventure waiting for them.
If this game ever gets finished (and I'm going into this with no experience at all, only ambition), it will be an adventure platformer similar to Seiklus and Knytt - though slightly more linear.

This game will be free as it is my tribute to Bill Watterson's work. I hope to have a working demo by June.

"It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy...Let's go exploring!"
]]> 18 Mar 2007 09:34:43 Buried Alive You wake up in the darkness and have no idea where you are. Point and click to solve the puzzles and escape your terrible situation. Buried Alive is an "epic point and click adventure" that only the brave and cunning will be able to solve.
]]> 09 Mar 2007 05:44:04 Interstellar Law Adventure games? You mean those things in the 80s? Right. But this is different. You just happen to be a crazy lawsuit fresh from Interstellar Law School. It's up to you, wether you'll protect the innocent or issue the worst scum bags of the galaxy with one way tickets to jail.

Get involved in two intriguing cases, playable from both the defense and prosecution. Creative and wacky piece of gaming bringing a twist to the now forgotten genre of adventure games.
]]> 03 Mar 2007 10:21:26 A Mini Falafel Adventure Episode 1 of a Gameboy-style platform adventure game. Collect ingredients to gain abilities and become the ultimate falafel.

Single screen, free-roaming gameplay, with an emphasis on exploration and gameplay progression.

This first episode will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. 5-6 if you know where you're going. 3 episodes are planned, which will be compiled into one story.

Originally this game was started as an entry for a Retro Remakes competition.
]]> 09 Feb 2007 11:33:45 Kastle Kumquat Kastle Kumquat has always been a long standing favourite of mine from the Amiga days and for the 2006 Retro Remakes competition i helped develop this remake with my skilled partner (the code guru) Edgar M Vigdal. The gfx are by me, the sounds are by me (including the grunts and oofs) and we got some very nice music made for us by the talented "infamous". The tough part is all by Edgar though, without him these games wouldn't happen.

Collect fruits, find keys, press switches and open doors to make your way through the kastle. Dodge the twizzly boxes of doom, jump the lava and watch out for the traps. The remake did ok in the competition but the game turned out as great as i hoped. Its a joy to play, in fact only yesterday i played it through once again.

We are now working on a version which includes the room editor for a collaborative project. A whole new set of user made rooms with some new twists and traps. Hopefully that'll be underway soon.
]]> 06 Feb 2007 12:27:11 Gulo For 500 years the Gulo Nation lived in peace. But now a new threat has arisen, and it's time for action once more.

Living in a post-technological Utopian society was nice for nearly 500 years until a meteor storm struck the floating island of the Gulo Nation, wreaking havoc and killings hundreds of Gulos. Not only did the meteors obliterate what was left of the once great Nation, but the Oibri, helper robots designed to help preserve life, became corrupt and started attacking the Gulos.

It's up to one Gulo to take action and save what is left of his people.
]]> 02 Feb 2007 07:34:02 Adventures of Fatman: The Toxic Revenge The Adventures of Fatman: Toxic Revenge is an excellent independently-published game by Michael Doak of SOCKO! Entertainment. Created with Chris Jones' popular freeware Adventure Game Studio, Fatman combines a wacky plot, a wonderful sense of humor, a user-friendly interface, and fun puzzles into a great adventure game that is well worth the $14.95 asking price.


Ungrateful Freeloading Copper!



Game review by Home of The Underdogs.

Fatman, who looks like Batman's more obese cousin, is the crime fighter for the city of Shadowlawn. Just when you are complaining about how dull things have been, a supervillain named Toxicman is created from a botched act of corporate sabotage. It is up to you, then, to tear yourself away from food long enough to save the city from certain destruction.

The game plays like a typical point-and-click adventure game. Fans of LucasArts' classic adventures will instantly recognize the interface: commands at the bottom of the screen, next to the inventory window. Puzzles tend to be on the easy side, but there are several more interesting ones that require correct timing. All the puzzles are logical, although there is a few far-fetched ones that seem to be there only for the sake of lengthening the game. While you cannot compare the graphics to commercial releases, the cartoon style is consistent with the game's wacky sense of humor and comic-book-hero premise. Backgrounds are well drawn and animated, and there are few cases of hunt-the-pixel problems (most at the beginning of the game). Bonus points must be given to the cast of voice actors, who did a much better job than numerous commercial CD-ROM games. The designer himself and Francisco Gonzalez are especially outstanding as the voice of Fatman and Toxicman, respectively. In addition to full voice, the CD-ROM also contains funny outtakes, deleted scenes and animations, as well as Pizza Quest, Michael Doak's first game.


Fatman also offers a few features that are not seen in many games. The first is an optional "behind the scene" audio commentary that you can press F12 to listen to from any scene. This is the first time I have seen this feature used in an adventure game, and the effect is a pleasant surprise: it feels similar to listening to the director's commentary on DVD movie, and adds interesting insights into what the designer had in mind as he designed each screen. There are also two gameplay modes: easy and hard. This does not change the puzzles, but the easy mode gives you hints and allow you to retry immediately when you die, so you will not need to save as often.

All in all, The Adventures of Fatman has plenty to offer adventure game fans. Although I wish the game had been longer - I finished it in less than 6 hours - the game kept me entertained from the beginning to end... something that cannot be said for the majority of today's commercial adventure games. Formerly a commercial title (in fact, the very first commercial AGS title), the designer has stopped printing new copies and proclaiming it as "abandonware" in December 2003, so you can get the full game (minus voices) here. Two thumbs up, way up!

]]> 26 Jan 2007 11:44:00 Toy Robo Please try it and then let me know what you think :)

Toy Robo is an Action-Adventure Shooter that requires quick hands and engaging strategy. You play as Toy Robo, a robot action figure on the side of good. Your goal is to rid the world of evil toys which appear only at night. You will do this in Arena style combat using your Blaster and Energy sword. To help you along your way, you can equip several types of batteries, each with different combat effects and
bonuses.

This game was developed as an entry to the gamedev.net 4e4 contest which required that it encorporate at least 2 of the following four elements (elements of which ALL games are apparently made of): pirates, ninjas, robots and zombies.

I opted for robots and zombies because robots are easy to model and zombies are easy to animate ^_^

The contest had a 6 month time limit, so I wanted to make sure I didn't bite off more then I could chew. In the end I came in 2nd out of at least 20 - the 1st place finisher was developed by 5 people! so even though I didn't win I felt like the game did very well and the process was rewarding.

Belowe are a few screen shots and the game download.
]]> 23 Jan 2007 10:40:46 Emily Enough Emily Enough is a fun, professional-quality "black comedy" adventure game by Logan Worsley that offers a unique setting, an interesting plot (not for the easily disturbed) and cast of characters, good writing, and logical (but easy) puzzles.

Adventure Europe elaborated very well in their review of the game:

The Enough family has arranged a birthday party for little Emily in the Enough estate. Emily is a very demanding girl. When her parents fail to please her insane demands, Emily flips out, grabs a knife and stabs her whole family and their servants! Emily Enough became an instant phenomenon for the media and the journalists called her the kiddie killer. When asked why did she do it, Emily replied: 'I wanted to see what was inside mommy'. The court sentenced Emily to the Claxochem Center for mental wellness institute. This institute however is falling apart. The company that owns it had to go under several budget cuts, resulting in the layoffs of all the institute's personnel. To make things even worse Claxochem moved their offices in the institute!

Emily of course would rather be free so as the game starts you take control of her and your goal is to set her free. There are quite a few characters in the game, many of them are mentally disturbed individuals. All of them are quite interesting to talk to - well...at least those that do talk. Because there are a couple of them that don't. But even they have something special about them. The game's length is short, but not too short. It took me about 4 hours to finish the game, which is quite enough for a freeware adventure game. The end was satisfying and quite funny too. It is quite remarkable how Logan kept a balance between the dark matter of the game and the humor in it. All in all the story is very satisfactory and definitely a couple of notches better than your ordinary freeware adventure game.

Graphics: The graphics of the game although not state-of-the-art (not even for freeware adventure game standards) they do fit the story like a glove! Pale characters and moody-coloured backgrounds provide the player with a mixture that radiates melancholy and insanity at the same time. One thing that could have been improved would be the characters' animation. Most of them were quite stale throughout the game. Some variation on their movements would be a welcome addition to the game.

Gameplay: The interface is similar to the ones used in the Sierra point and click adventures. With the right mouse button you scroll around the possible actions you can perform, which are WALK, LOOK, USE, TALK and Inventory item. The dialogues interface is more similar to the Lucasarts one, where you have a number of choices on the bottom part of the screen that you can choose from. The challenges are quite logical most of the time, although there will be a couple of times where you won't be sure what you have to do next. However, the game world is not that huge so if you explore your surroundings you will be very likely to finish the game without referring to a walkthrough.


Overall: Emily Enough is one of the best freeware adventure games released this year. Due to the somewhat psychotic nature of the story, it is not for everyone, but then again which game is for everyone? If you enjoy black humor and odd stories you should definitely download this game and give it a try.

Unfortunately, this title was never released inside a box.

]]> 28 Nov 2006 03:38:57 Seiklus This is an strange endearing relaxing game. All about exploring the world.

It has many nice touches that come out if you take the time to play. Shows how much simple things and bare bones gameplay can still add up to an enjoyable experience.

The environments are strange and unexpected.. Might be a bit challenging for some and frustrating at times, but I enjoyed it overall.

This was made by a single guy using GameMaker, and given away for free! See developer's links below for more info

Well, when I make any game, I make
a game that Id like to see made by someone
else; like partly as just an effort to inspire other people to make little games. I know a lot of people who are really talented, or who have some ambition, but they dont do anything, because they just think they cant....

It's been five years since I first thought to myself, "Hey, why not try making a game?" I developed Cave Story at my own pace, taking my time, and while doing so I released a few other smaller games as well.
