motas!!!
the ludum dare 48-hour indie game making challenger just happened recently, so there are a bunch of interesting little free online (in-browser or downloadable) games knocking around. here is one about providing for your family: http://jonathanwhiting.com/ld/26/
here is a non-ludum dare indie game that i like, it is a roguelike, i guess, about being stranded naked in an icy waste and trying not to freeze to death: http://humbit.com/rogue/afsahr-v1.2/play.html

romcheck seems really novel and awesome at first but is impossible to play after like 15 sec

nvm this is dope
― siouxsan sarandon (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 27 May 2013 20:35 (ten years ago) link
wow rom check is awesome

you must escape ultimately freaked me out and i had to quit
― steening in your HOOSless carriage (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 28 May 2013 04:32 (ten years ago) link
yeah, i couldn't handle that too well eitheri keep getting to level 18 or rom check and dying.
― klaus dingeldore's rhinelander monkey keeper father (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 28 May 2013 04:35 (ten years ago) link
rom check ending is delightful
― siouxsan sarandon (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 28 May 2013 06:21 (ten years ago) link
Wait, it has an ending? I'm so used to games like Space Invaders, Asteroids, and the like not having an ending that I didn't bother playing after I started to get bored (I started to work out a strategy for each combination of player ship, enemy and level, and started to get bored).

Don't think I stand a chance getting to the end of romcheck, but I like it a lot for the brief bursts I can manage.

yeah its a blast

got to lvl 19, ran out of lives and gave up
― Nhex, Wednesday, 29 May 2013 03:34 (ten years ago) link
i did remember that from a while back - it's from 2008!
― Nhex, Wednesday, 29 May 2013 03:35 (ten years ago) link
xxp it's amazing how the 'muscle' memory for games works. Even after all this time, I didn't even have to consciously think 'oh this is asteroids so I guess I do this'.
― go cray cray on my lobster soufflé (snoball), Wednesday, 29 May 2013 07:57 (ten years ago) link
yeah i sort of can't imagine losing any of the skill set necessary to succeed in rom check fail
this is kind of tragic

It reminded me of the time I played Galaxian recently, and despite not having played it for ~25 years I was wiping out those swooping invaders like a champ after about 30 seconds.

You fail, or you go from my words in any partickler, no matter how small it is, and your liver shall be tore out, roasted, ate.

― Mordy , Tuesday, 4 June 2013 23:55 (ten years ago) link

how long did it take, i am trying to work out whether to dl
― the bitcoin comic (thomp), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 00:15 (ten years ago) link
~8 minutes total. i played through it 3 times and beat it the 3rd time.
― Mordy , Wednesday, 5 June 2013 00:19 (ten years ago) link
sounds doable!!
― the bitcoin comic (thomp), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 07:43 (ten years ago) link
This is sort of like Candy Box but with a very different tone: http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/
I actually like it better than CB but it lacks the surprise element.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 12:07 (ten years ago) link
That is A+

yeah, this is nice

Is the game over after the 4th area? It seems to restart.
― oxygenating our wombspace (abanana), Saturday, 15 June 2013 13:31 (ten years ago) link
I had a go at continuing on to see if anything had changed, but I think you 'win', or at least finish, when you lift off.
― emil.y, Saturday, 15 June 2013 13:46 (ten years ago) link
yeah that was annoying bcz I still hadn't uncovered the entire map yet and it was just like "nope sorry you win game over"

phew, made it! so proud of my little

it's too bad we all got really into the Candies game before this one, because this one is so much better!
― Z S, Saturday, 15 June 2013 20:41 (ten years ago) link
very cool game so far. i keep imagining all the status messages being read aloud by the Bastion narrator.
― Nhex, Saturday, 15 June 2013 21:54 (ten years ago) link
*Spoilers* in case the ones above weren't enough:
I wish there was more to it! I liked the little hints at a plot in the cities, like that the character you play is actually the bad guy. Does the ending mean that the main character was actually one of the aliens/"Wanderers", or just that he decided to roam the universe in one of their ships?

― Nhex, Thursday, 27 June 2013 16:57 (ten years ago) link
I want to put this here as well as the StoryNexus thread, because... seriously, this game unnerves me.
