Better Run Run Run

Nostalgic for a time when robots tried to kill you while being condescending? Well, Hunted Forever isn't Portal, but if you're jonesing for some Flash Friday, it might be right up your alley.

Some of the messages that flashed as the game was loading were mildly amusing.

I love the graphics. Few colors, but detailed shapes so that you can use your imagination to fill in the rest. Incidentally, I dislike games with "running through molasses" type controls. But it was fun nevertheless.

Like N but less awesome.

Crazy difficult.

I was enjoying it, but then I realized I would probably be running forever (rather than reaching some sort of new stage) and hung it up. Fun though.

I hope someone else recognized the Fela Kuti lyric.

Reminds me of the HL2 mod MINERVA except without a happy ending.

Like N but with edge hangs. Neat!

I seem to be the only one here who isn't nostalgic for a time when robots tried to kill you while being condescending.

I am nostalgic for other things though.

It kept saying that I had "11/7" parts or something similar. How is that possible?

Nice, I like this better than N. So neener, neener.

It's actually pretty short, something like 24 total machine parts (at least on easy, haven't tried anything else yet). Repeat playthrough is rewarded, but there is a stopping point that recurs.

These saves are tied to the computer and website they are created on and connot be transferred because Adobe is run by meatbags.

I had a chuckle at that.
