Poll: Do you play flash games?

[Evil Smurf]

Nope.
Used to but now that I have actual money and games and shit there's basically no reason to.

This actually. I like playing games that were developed with time, money and love.

 

[Evil Smurf]

Flash, Java, Shockwave, Quicktime (not to be confused with Quick Time Events), handhelds, consoles, console addons, PC, Mac, tablet/mobile, emulators...Whatever I can get my hands on.

The Mac computers are PCs. PC stands for Personal computer. Is it your computer? If yes, it is your PC.

 

[Akytalusia]

yes. i stop by newgrounds every now and then to see what's new. i'll try a few here and there if they seem interesting. i like tower defense, launch types, and level up types, primarily.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

Yes, as it's something to do while Steam is downloading or I can't be bothered with a larger more complex game.

Besides they're free.

 

[Nazulu]

Yeah, sometimes. I'm usually on Newgrounds and I save all the games I find addictive or clever into my favourites.

I loved Canary, Kingdom Rush, Adventure Story and Amorphous. They're the ones I keep coming back to anyway.

Nope.

That's harsh. A lot of them have definitely had a lot of time and love thrown into them. As for the money, you could say "time is money", as in you play it for free because they just want to entertain.

However, I will say a lot of them can be really poorly designed.

 

[Gennadios]

I used to back when I worked graveyards and had a job I didn't really care about.

Now, the only 'flash' game I play is Avengers Alliance on facebook. I don't think it's the type of game OP had in mind but it's pretty much the closest.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

Not enough to have an opinion of them in general or between genres. I have played a few, but only sporadically and I tend not to come back to them.

 

[mysecondlife]

Yes, in particular I suggest you try Final Ninja and Final Ninja Zero.

Last flash game I played was Last stand: Union city I believe and I enjoyed it, that was a couple months ago.

I used to play a lot of flash games a few years ago, before League of Legends came along. :3

Yeah, the Last Stand games are pretty good.

If you have time, Epic Battle Fantasy.

I remember I played heck out of EBF3. 4th one got released but I haven't had time lately.

Got any advice for dealing with the Red Hydra? Every time I get it down to one head it kills the entire party.

Sorry, I got nothing. I haven't played 4th and I remember very little about 3rd.

 

[piinyouri]

I have a healthy amount of games both on Steam and on my consoles but I still have a pretty hefty bookmark folder full of those wonderful bite-sized gems.

Castaway, Hands of War, the Arkandian games, Necronator + Infectonator games, all of Nerdooks stuff.

And I really love the food simulation ones. IDGAF how silly and casual they are, they are FUN ADDICTIVE.

 

[The_Blue_Rider]

I used to, and I still would if my computer werent so shitty, and slowed down so much when I played them

 

[Delerien]

The ones i really liked were Mud and Blood 2 and Gemcraft.
Mud and Blood 2 can be frustrating though due to it's really random nature.
Besides that i don't really play flash games, i skim through Kongregate from time to time, but it's been a long time since something actually grabbed my attention.

 

[Mojo]

Yes, there are some great flash games out there.

Recently I played Sinjid, from the creator of Sonny 2, which was a brilliant turn based RPG. I played Raze 2 two years ago, man was I hyped for that game, it turned out to be OK, now if it worked properly with Opera. I've also played Plazma Burst, Chibi Knight and quite a few more, I used to have a PC that's shittier than this lap top.

Nope.

So you don't give them a chance because they have no real, or obvious budgeting behind them?
Because that's what I'm getting from these posts. Every project requires time, every art medium requires love, dedication is put to the test even more when there's no financial benefit whatsoever. You're missing out, but then again, the scene is between mobile and indie, but the rare gems are still there.

 

[everythingbeeps]

I used to play them a lot on Kongregate, but not so much anymore. Virtually all of them are rehashes or blatant copies of flash games I've already played.

Which is what sucks about most android games too. Everything's a knockoff of a knockoff.

 

[GabeZhul]

I play them from time to time, yes. In fact, I have played a few hundred of them in total, but only in spurts. Say, i wouldn1t even think about playing flash-games for a year or so, and then I would play about fifty different ones in the span of a week, whenever I have a little free-time.

Or, alternatively, when they are simpler games that require less concentration, I like to mess around with them while I listen to podcasts. It's fun.

 

[AT God]

I don't as often as I used to. When Newgrounds first came out with the Medal's system I tried to keep up with them by getting all the medals but I slowly fell behind. I had a relatively high score for a while.

Biggest accomplishment was beating Ching Chong Beautiful on the hardest gamemode. Great game btw.

I personally prefer Armor Games (I find their site more pleasing to the eye and more intuitively structured), but I can still second the complaint about the knockoffs. Launchers, building-destructors, 2D arcade shooters, tower-defense games and it's reverse take up 80% of all decent flash games, and one can only take so much of them before getting bored with it.

It's alright, I managed to beat the hydra today anyway.

Oh god that fight was difficult as all hell on epic mode... But then, the final boss was just as difficult if not moreso.

 

[FFP2]

I have a 2 gig folder dedicated to flash games

Granted, it includes Game maker games but that's still pretty big.

Katawa Crash and Mirrors Edge 2D are my favourites.

 

[SweetShark]

This is not a good reason for you to play some really awesome free games that are around the internet.
Not only flash games, but also downloadable.

I suggest you to check a list I created with some very interesting free games [minus one, "Dark Scavenger"] to play ^^
