The Best Free Online (in-browser or downloadable) Games

This might be a better place to get La Mulana

No pop ups.

desktop tower defense!

Damn, I forgot all about Cave Story! I can really, really recommend that one. That one was obviously a labor of love for whoever developed it. It also has replay value because depending on the way you proceed, you can get different weapons and endings. A+ would play again etc.

Knytt Stories looks intriguing, I may check that out later today.

It took forever and never seemed to go anywhere. I stopped playing.

The original Knytt is even more low-key than most of the Knytt Stories levels. I'd agree that they don't really 'go anywhere' -- the appeal is mostly in exploring the weird mysterious world and seeing the tiny little sprite animals hop around, which is compelling enough for me but I can see how it could seem boring.

Just going to give it a try.

Kaipuu has a memory leak. (and Seiklus is better)

I couldn't get Kaipuu to work.

God help me, I just discovered Peggle.
Crack.

I really like Peggle and I've considered thought about buying the full version, but I bet it isn't much better than the free one.

thought about

But more levels! MORE LEVELS

o hi dere, its a download, but how does online kart racing grab you http://kart.nexon.net/Download/Client.aspx

I played KongKongSEA for a long time. It is a jump racing game with attack items and tiles on the ground that give you boost and direction changes.

as for rpgs I found:
The Spirit Engine
Triglaw -only works in certain browsers
flash rpgs: Sinjid Shadow of the Warrior, Swords and Sandals 2 (need full version to save), Bleach Training 2

Everyone should play the Knytt Stories level "Don't Eat the Mushroom"

PathPix and more. The demos will take you several hours to complete each.

Question:

Is the music for this game the worst music of all time?

HINT: Wait until the programmer's 15 year old girlfriend starts singing before you make your final decision.

The singing starts about 120 seconds in. Actually, to clarify, it's not the worst music ever, it's the worst Bjork imitation ever, and the worst lyrics ever.

EVER!

It's a real rekkid, not the programmer's girlfriend.

Is Grid Wars the same as Geometry Wars, or does it just look the same?

I've been trying to download the free game Perfect Cherry Blossom, but everywhere I can find it, it's a .lzh file, which I can't get my computer to unzip correctly for some reason (maybe because it's an old file and the new versions of winzip and similiar programs don't recognize it correctly?). Anybody here know what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do to be able to pay this amazing looking game?

Here's a clip...

LZH is a very old archive format rarely used anymore, but Winzip should work. I just downloaded the demo (which I guess you have) to see, it should work with WinRar or 7-Zip. Grab the English patch here if you want to read the hyper-cutesy character dialogue, profiles and such.

Thanks Nhex - I got it to work finally using WinRAr. Pretty crazy shooter on normal - I can't imagine the harder difficulties. The hit point is pretty small, mercifully...

I can't figure out how to get past the 10th level on this thing:

http://www.nekogames.jp/mt/2008/01/cursor10.html

Did I say 10, I meant 15th.

Hyper Frame makes me feel like a puzzle MORAN on only the fourth level of the easy mode. how in the fuck can you connect them???

But I really like that they recorded a theme song with vocals for their game.

polyphonic - I was stuck for a minute too, I realized I had bypassed a switch on a much lower level....

Has it been mentioned already? The original Crayon Physics demo (five or six levels) is well worth checking out. Very cool & I'm looking forward to the deluxe version. The first download mirror site didn't work for me, but the second did

Holy crap, that cursor game is a brilliant idea.

By the way, I hate this pj character for bringing up the topic of Desktop Tower Defense, which in the days since I opened this thread has consumed half the free hours of my life. AUGH.

Slashdot article linking to 101 free games list.

i particular like the sound of 'Lonely House Moving'

yeah i can't do level 15 either - i feel like i know what i should do, but it doesn't work

Figured it out! Doctor Casino's advice is the key.

FINALLY beat the medium level on Desktop Tower Defense. With that I must swear never to ever open that game again. Jesus.

I love those 101 free games lists. I'm glad there is a new one.

For those of you who loved Sid Meier's Pirates there's a Flash version:

Is anyone else having trouble with the download of Command & Conquer? It's really slow for me!

Like Desktop Tower Defense?

oh man:

I got on a roll and got 31. It's fun to play without looking at the screen, too. The best I can do that way is 15.

Good grief, Vector TD consumed half my weekend.

It's really fucking great. I can't beat any of the Hard maps though. :/

Haven't tried any Hard ones yet -- do enemies give out even less money than on intermediate?

I think it's close to the same amount, but the maps don't double back much (if at all), so if you don't get them with your first or second group of towers, you're fucked. It's pretty hard to even get through the first five waves.

just spent an hour playing the enjoyably goofy ROM CHECK FAIL
www.farbs.org

wait... the check button has now gone!

yeah, it's inconsistent...

not sure if the "Updates" tab has always been there on enclose.horse but i noticed it today, and there is an accounting if that inconsistency, lol

Mar 11, 2026 NEW
Community feedback: many players want the Check button back - deciding the best path forward
Mar 10, 2026 NEW
Removed the Check button based on community feedback
Mar 6, 2026 NEW
Added a Check button to see how close your score is to the optimal solution

it's lonely at the top

Yeah, just saw that...
I feel like the updates tab is new?
I don't care which way they decide...

just make the check button an option

the same way skins are an option

skins = a horse of a different color?

the skins did fix my three-d-walls in a two-d space anger, albeit not very well (the log graphics are shonky)

well there's my morning gone

Dammit that should be illegal, absolute crack

95 AARGH

i got to mfing 98

i got 8. sometimes not even that.

did enjoy the enclose.horse lovebirds episode with two horses to enclose

(have also realised that the bees are actually only -4 because you get a point for the square. ditto apples are worth 11)

oh, is that energy bar new? i don't remember it being there before and it makes it so much easier. i just got 50 with no effort.

It is new. I had about 70 attempts on the desktop yesterday, then tried on my phone and beat it in 13.

Without the bar.

100!
