Luke Paakh makes some lovely flash games

Kattullus — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:11:29 -0800

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.

Shellshocked and awed...

Loved Nanaca Crash? Want to hurl a turtle instead? 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!

Superstrong Baby Samurai Friday Flash Fun

Kattullus — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:06:26 -0800

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.

Phriday Phlash Physics Phun

Kattullus — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:09:11 -0800

Physics Games is a collection of browser games that all have at least a rudimentary physics model. Some of the games I've enjoyed are Roly Poly Eliminator, Totem Destroyer 1 & 2, Demolition City and Red Ball. Most are fairly simple but some are complex, notably IncrediBots 1 & 2, which might as well require an engineering degree (slight hyperbole). My absolute favorite type of game on this site is the destroy-castles-with-a-trebuchet game, handsomely represented by not one but three games, Castle Clout, Castle Clout: Return of the King (no Tolkien connection) and Crush the Castle. All this is but a small sample of what's on offer.

How to Raise a Dragon

mccarty.tim — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:18:05 -0800

Preemptive Friday Flash Fun: How to Raise a Dragon, a game by Gregory Weir, where you make decisions about a dragon's development. Nice pixel art style. I debated putting "game" in quotes in a naive attempt to stave off the argument over whether or not games are art.

Madness Combat Defense, an evolution of the tower defense game.

It's new, it's old! It's famous, it's unknown!

Everybodies favorite tower defense game has a major new release Desktop Tower Defense just released a Pro edition. It's got new graphics, new creeps and multiplayer. If it's Friday it must be fun and flash!

Friday Flash-ish Spaß!

Friday 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. Well, to be more precise, they emit a bell-like tone at a pitch that is somehow a function of velocity and/or height. Brought to you by Chrome Experiments.

Fly me to the moon, so I can play among the stars...

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. (via)

Make My Head Grow

Rinku — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 07:40:45 -0800

Friday Flash Fun: "'Make My Head Grow' is a two player battle game. Each player control a small angry guy trying to push the other guys box over the edge. As everyone knows smacking your head into the ground makes your head grow - maybe even enough to make your box move..." At the Nordic Game Jam 2009, Make My Head Grow won: - Best Visual Style - Best Sound Design - Most Innovative Controls - Best Overall Game - Audience Award - Best Overall Game - Panel Award Be sure not to miss Kyle Gabler's keynote. For those of you without a convenient second player, take a look at the gameplay, and take a listen to the rather bizarre theme song. via TGISource

Friday fun: The revamped Globulos! The French suite of cute, simple mini-games -- posted before -- has in its latest incarnation finally got rid of its annoying 15-minute limit for non-paying users. Now, simply register for free and bounce those Globulos! (You could play as a guest, I guess, but that would just be lame now, wouldn't it. Oh, and you can still buy Globbies if you want to give your Globulos a moustache or whatever.)

Evacuation

Friday Flash Fun: Evacuation is a puzzle game about explosive decompression. Save the crew! Eject the aliens into space by opening the spaceship's doors! The catch: doors of the same color all open together. By the people that brought us Too Many Ninjas! Via the always excellent TGISource

The "We Drink Your Milkshake Act" Passed

Eideteker — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:30:25 -0800

Oiligarchy is a resource management game reminiscent of their earlier McDonald's Game. Build your empire and keep the shareholders (all old, bald, white men) happy. Social activism wrapped inside an (admittedly simplified) game! via Make sure to remain politically active by funding both sides in each election (just in case). Be cautious with your resources at the outset; there will be plenty of time to indiscriminately rape the earth later, once you have tons of money and politicians in your pocket. And, most importantly, take the time to really enjoy yourself. You deserve it. You're making a difference in the world.

Friday Flash Fun: Test your geography skills.

Free Poverty. Kinda like freerice.com but they're giving water to places that need it. I feel dumb now. Some places are not where I thought they were.

Let The Bells Ring Out For Christmas

Champion flash animator Pascal Campion

ssmith — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 12:20:22 -0800

Flash Friday Fun: The frenetic, fun flash animations of Pascal Campion.
My favorites: The Door, the Saul Bass like les tomates and the bouncing ball brilliance of Catnip. The guy has literally dozens and dozens of clips on his website (click on Animations) Some more great ones: Cycle, Clue, Pyramid, and the really crazy Cops. His work inspired Boss sequences are also fantastic: Tugging | One or two | Venting | Clap | Sigh | Venting rematch | Roboss And, if you think he could make a living doing this, you'd be right. He's a director at Bent Image Lab and responsible for spots like these for PBS and Ritz Crackers.

Friday flash, kill 'em all

Friday Flash Fun, Pillage the Village. Kill as many villagers as possible by throwing them in the air, easy at first, but gets pretty hard after a bit.
