PETA's latest public target is Super Mario 3D Land, specifically Mario's use of the
tanooki suit, which PETA claim signify the wearing of a
tanuki skin. To raise awareness, PETA had a little flash game made:
Mario Kills Tanooki (warning: cartoon blood and gore), in which
you play a skinless Tanuki trying to get your skin back from Mario (YT, 1:19 - slightly stuttery gameplay video). But as
this Kotaku article points out, PETA's outrage is "an epic culture misunderstanding," overlooking the
long, cultural history of the shape-shifting trickster. Nintendo's quick response: "
Mario often takes the appearance of certain animals and objects in his games," that are "lighthearted and whimsical transformations."
PETA clarifies: the graphic little game was just a joke.

Friday Flash Fun: Japanese designer
Tesshi-e makes beautiful, evocative, maddening
escape games. Most recent among them is
Escape Hotel 4. You may like to check into rooms
3,
2 or
1. Or perhaps you'd prefer to escape from the
tatami room, the
small bar, the
hexagon room, the
dome room or the
restroom. Examine every item carefully, because nothing is quite as it seems. Expect a lot of lateral thinking and a sprinkling of maths. And before you leave, be sure to take one last look for the Happy Coin:
Happy coin will bring happiness to you!! English-language reviews and walkthroughs are
here.

This year marks a decade of
Strong Bad Emails, sent from Strong Bad's desk. Next to his computer sits a box of
floppy discs, often displaying game titles. If you missed those titles, the detail-oriented
Homestar Runner wiki (
previously)
provides game titles, summaries, and links. Many of the games are old computer games like
Rise of the Dragon or
Miner 2049er, and some titles are linked to
Lord_Pall's
revived Home of the Underdogs abandonware game archive. Other games have links to
the Videlectrix catalog, where you can see
box art and
play some demos. Or you can go back to the Homestar Runner wiki, and go to the list of
playable Videlectrix titles, like
50k Racewalker (
play online)
Polulation: Tire (
play online) or
Peasant's Quest (
play online) (More previous stuff:
Peasant's Quest and
Where's An Egg?).

If you enjoy games like Myst and Riven, take a crack at

Skid MK is a fiendishly addictive and entertaining Mario Kart clone which has already taken up far too much of my week. Developers
Conix Games also made a top-down zombie shooter in the Robotron tradition called
Daytraders of the Dead, which is just about as addictive.

Friday Flash Fun:
Mamono Sweeper is Minesweeper with role-playing elements. A number of monsters with levels from 1 to 5 are hidden in the grid. Your task is to kill them all. When you click on a square with a monster, you battle against that monster until you or the monster is dead. If the monster is your level or below, you take no damage, but if it is of a higher level, you
will get hurt, and possibly die. Empty squares show the sum of the levels of the monsters in all adjacent squares. You start out at level 1 with 10 hit points, and each monster you kill gives you experience points towards the next level. You cannot recover lost hit points. Use the A and D keys to mark squares. Good luck!

Particlasm is home to the browser games of Luke Paakh. He first caught my attention with fine space shoot'em-up
Ether War but I also enjoyed his other games, shooter
Ether Cannon, tree defending games
Phoenix and
Shen Long, puzzle game
blue and petri dish action game
Amoeba. His new game is my favorite. It's called
William and Sly and it's a beautiful platformer is about an adorable fox who likes mushrooms and his quest to recharge some runestones with fairyflies.

Toss the Turtle will be right up your alley. Easy concept, shoot turtle from cannon and watch him bounce and blow up as he careens across the screen. Enjoy!

Kinpira is a shockwave-game where you play a baby samurai out to rescue his mother. You run around a 3d landscape, all of which you can pick up and throw, once you grow strong enough to lift it. To start with you're picking up vases and other light items but soon enough you're lobbing houses around and eventually entire mountains. It's vaguely reminiscent of Mario 64 and Katamary Damacy.

Flash JavaScript Fun!
Balldroppings (ha.) is a gravity-based game where balls drop at regular intervals from a particular point in the screen and you draw lines to make them bounce. The excellent part: every time the balls bounce off a line, they sing.

Friday Flash Fun: Green Moon Lab! Manipulate gravity and momentum to get to the exit in this sleek, simple,
Portal-esque physics puzzler. Contains twenty levels plus an unlockable challenge mode. A little weak in the writing department, but the drunken swooping gameplay more than makes up for it. (
