- Endless War series. Love getting my eardrums blown out when the battle starts.
- Murloc RPG
- Autumn War
- Clear Vision. This one is so much worse than I remember.
I could keep going but I want to let other people post some too :comfy:
I'll always remember Sonny, that bizarre zombie RPG that got a sequel then rebooted on mobile or something.
"My blood may save you from death- but nothing will save you from me!"
oh man I spent so much time playing the various Endless War games back in the day
Last Stand (which Ross Scott had a pretty good video on) was a really neat zombie survival game (although I think I only ever played the first one, maybe a bit of the second one, I don't remember it too well)
Sword and Sandals, a really cool RPG with turn-based gladiatorial fights
Interactive Buddy, not much of a game, but it was a lot of fun dragging that little guy around
Bartender the Right Mix, a classic, pretty much what it says on the tin
not exactly a game, but still really fun - Pimp my Gun (it seems like the site for that one finally went down, it had stuck around without updates for like a decade) which allowed you to basically drag parts around and make 2D guns, it was really neat
IMO All Hallow's Eve is the obvious precursor to Last Stand and I think I managed to sink more hours into it
There was a game on miniclip that was a sidescroller where you played a samurai. Played the shit out of it back when I was a kid
Everything on Nitrome, but particularly Final Ninja. Damn that game was hard.
Fancy Pants Man
Shift
I fucking hate Adobe for discontinuing Flash, they destroyed hundreds of thousands of hours of work and took all of these games away. Fortunately some have been saved but they don't play as well as the old Flash games. What was wrong with Flash anyhow?
Flash had major security flaws beyond the level of just putting a tracker cookie on your browser. Flash could access your microphone without your permission, it could also trigger pop-ups. I remember one Flash exploit that could access your printer and start printing unlimited pages covered in black ink.
Still a shame it had to die. Flash games and cartoons were an unbridled and vast network of creativity, people doing things for the sake of art or messing around.
Surely there was a better way to do it than just abandoning thousands of hours of work?
A ton of that stuff was archived and there were a couple flash emulators that ended up coming out
Came here to say Nitrome .
Final Ninja, Dirk Valentine, TOXIC, Mutiny (even though it was just Worms).
I had fallen out of flash gaming for a few years, disillusioned about the capabilities of the form. Nitrome showed me flash could be more.
I don't remember if they're both flash games, but Powder Game and QWOP were my main two. Getting that QWOP dude to take even a single step feels like an achievement, let alone getting into the rhythm and actually making him run like a normal guy. The Knee-Heel-Hipthrust-Shuffle served me well up to that point.
So many hours spent playing powder game huddled around my grandma's computer with family lol
That one top-down stealth game where you sneak around school cheating on tests was fairly engaging from what I remember.
Fancy pants adventures & Dino Run had some memorable songs.
Crush the Castle was angry birds but everything was styled like medieval paintings.
IDK that it exists anywhere anymore, Sodaplay was this thing where you built robots out of vertexes and springs, it had cool examples with different locomotion like a walker or a ferris wheel thing that dragged the ground to move
Damn bunyips.
Also how I learned about the walking ecological disaster that is the cane toad.

Toss the Turtle, of course. Imagine the hedonic treadmill of a mobile game, but for no cost.

Somebody already mentioned Dino Run, so I'll just add Snowball!, a winter-themed pinball game made by the same team. It's very cozy :comfy:
-
Endeavor and Seedling are both nice little adventure games. Pretty impressive for flash games.
-
Superfighters. What if there was a fighting game that embodied the spirit of dumb action movies? This is that game. It rules. :miyazaki-laugh:
-
Any game by scriptwelder, but especially 400 Years and the Deep Sleep series.
-
The Submachine series. I have no idea what's going on with that plot, but it's certainly a vibe.
-
Haunt the House :specter:
-
Phoenotopia is probably the best flash game. There is absolutely no reason for a free browser game to go this hard. In fact, do not play it, go buy the Steam remake. Now :chavez-guns:
There's probably more I'm not remembering but this post is long enough lol
