Flash Games

Gems

Gems

Today I’m finishing a week long training class in Macromedia Flash. I don’t know if I’m skilled yet, but definitely dangerous. So let Flash Friday begin.
Here’s a great little puzzle game from Cublo Games called Gems. It took me just a bit to get used to manipulating the gems, but once I [...]

Bumper Ball

Here’s a Flash game that I’ve dumped embarrassing amounts of time into… just for fun! It’s the little things… really it is. And after the day I’ve had I don’t mind burnin’ a little time in some mindless fun. I don’t remember where this one’s from or [...]

Rural Racer

Rural Racer

The weather is warming up and there’s nothing like driving home from work on a Friday with the windows down, sunroof open, and music blastin’! These Flash Fridays are becoming particularly meaningful for me as I’m steeped in some Flash development at work and personally. Maybe someday I’ll even post my OWN Flash [...]

Reel Gold

Reel Gold

I’m in Vegas… so what could be more appropriate than a Vegas-style game of striking it rich? NO, no silly… not a casino game, there are a bazillion of those. I’m talking about the good stuff… GOLD! It’s Flash Friday and time to reel in some of the ‘Au‘, so don’t be [...]

This is a very special St. Patty’s Day Flash Friday! Why? Do I have a game where you fight endless mobs of zombie leprechauns? Or a first-person shooter featuring Lucky from Lucky Charms cereal puttin’ on an Irish whoopin’ using yellow moons and purple horseshoes? No… but here’s the tie-in. [...]

Let Flash Friday begin. I know… it’s a mix of cheers and boos… but who can turn down a Flash game!? Ever since Macromedia took Flash from it’s roots in rudimentary vector graphic movies to full-blown, lightweight web applications the possibilities have been nearly endless. I am learning this stuff heavily at [...]

Pac-Man

Pac-Man

And another dose of Flash love this Friday… keeping with our classic game theme, here’s the classic of all classics… Pac-Man, adapted by Paul Neave.
Really, as a kid growing up in the 80s, Pac-Man was an extremely influential figure (as crazy as that sounds it’s no joke). The emergence of video game culture was [...]

Galaxy Invaders

Galaxy Invaders

Thus begins the second official Flash Friday, and it’s looking to be a big one. Here’s some mindless shooting action to get you through the workday (not me, of course). This is (obviously) a Space Invaders clone, from the folks at Just Free Games, but with some added twists and tricks and quirks [...]

Curveball

Curveball

Ha! There’s still three minutes left in my first declared Flash Friday… and I make the rules, so here comes another Flash game.
This is a suped up version (or souped up, for people at my company) of the great classic Pong, but this version is played in 3D. Pretty simple, [...]

Poom

Poom

I’m thinking of starting a tradition. Flash Fridays! Is it because it’s a catchy hook? Is it simply the pleasant consonantal murmur of alliteration? Is it symbolic of the connotations Friday carries… fun, freedom, recreation? If you were thinking any of those questions… then you need help (like me). [...]
