My next Flash Friday entry is called Star Crash by Glowing Eye Games. We’re not talking about some cheesy 70’s B-grade star wars rip-off either. We’re talking about a flash game. I really don’t know what this game has to do with stars other than the space backdrops, or maybe the flying, blue, glowy, thingy. But it’s a simple game where you collect the blue glowy “stars” and orange glowing spirals. You must simply avoid the red glowy thingies, or else it’s game over. It’s simply a survival and get points game. Nothing spectacular. Also your mouse cursor is an eye, a glowing eye. I mean how weird is that? It’s not that bad to play though. It does start to get frantic. This is a good example of a beginners game. If you want to get your feet wet making a game, do the simplest thing possible. |

Star Crash – Sorry, no Caroline Munro – Flash
Friday, March 27th, 2009Dungeons of Fear – Welcome to the dungeon, we’ve got fun and games…
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
All right, all right, I know… it’s “Welcome to the jungle” … but I’m speaking of the dungeon. The DUNGEON OF FEAR! I mean DUNGEONS OF FEAR! As in many dungeons, as in plural. Dungeons of Fear is a text based game, and a website, by Brian Sauer. Teh greatest website EVAR! Okay, so I exaggerate. I went to this guy’s page, and saw all these games he had on there, and that impressed me. Am I’m not easily impressed… (Tin foil? ooooh shiny!) – wait wait, I said I’m not easily impressed, and said nothing about not being easily distracted. “Ooh string!” If one looks at the website, one doesn’t think much of it. When one looks at the games on the website, one doesn’t think much of it. However, the one thing that’s really hard for aspiring game developers is to finish games.
(wme) 5 Magical Amulets – Blah blah blah, wizard, blah blah, end of the world, blah… – WME
Monday, March 23rd, 2009Our next game is another WME created adventure game called 5 Magical Amulets by Off Studio Adventure Team. It’s another freebie. Free is always good. Okay so here we have the magic kingdom of Nyron. Well maybe just a kingdom with magic in it, or who knows. There’s a good enchantress named Twelga. With her green amulet she keeps things green, and helps things to grow. She lived in a forest. One day she finds a baby, and decides to adopt the child as her own. She names the baby Linda. Twelga raised Linda to be a normal girl. No learning magic. Twelga started getting sad and by Linda’s 18th birthday decided to let Linda in a little secret.
