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

crank is a lot like that one other game that i like, or i mean, it starts out like that. the one where you're in a room with a fire and a wounded person at the beginning but by the end the scale is up

wait did anyone ever find out if frog fractions 2 exists

that other game is A Dark Room which got a popular mobile app and a new yorker article written about it. http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/a-dark-room-the-best-selling-game-that-no-one-can-explain

Tbh emily i really can't get into interactive fiction games. i have a bad imagination.

i am not convinced that this one will turn into such an interesting fiction as 'a dark room' did, also my coworkers were finding all of the clicking annoying

i wish i was good at IF! i am not good at IF.

HOLY SHIT i went to anime club in high school (don't judge me) with the dude in that new yorker article (michael).

this is a fb msg he sent me 2 years ago, almost to the day: "I am extremely jealous that you get paid real money to make video games. I hope you appreciate how awesome your life is."

i never responded

!WARNING! Time-wasting semi-idle game that isn't as good as Crank or anything.

Any good, newish TD Games?

(not a tower defense game)

Bloons td 5 is pretty cool.

trying to find something --

a sort of hammurabi mechanic game (you know, allot limited resources each turn to manage things, hope everyone doesn't die) but it was a crashlanded spaceship, you were the captain, you had to survive a certain amount of time

it was largely impossible, generally someone would kill themselves and then everyone would starve

one of your crew was a psychologist i think

it was one static adventure-game looking screen with the characters as sprites, pixel art

what was this called?

in-browser flash game, they did an expanded paid-for and downloadable version. anyone?

Gods Will Be Watching?

yessss ty

crosspost to the sale thread

i enjoyed the freeware version for a while but i'm not sure i've the patience to justifying buying this even for £1.74

there are less sadistic difficulty levels. it's pretty interesting! there is a brief prologue set in the same scene as the freeware version. then it has a flashback to a hostage situation one year earlier. then back then forward. the writing line-by-line isn't quite up to the challenge: most of the narrative thrill still comes from the mechanics. i can't decide what sort of difficulty i want out of it.

Very nice. I had been waiting for a PC version and would have paid for it.

Lost months of progress. Probably for the best, but sigh

lol I am still "playing " trimps too

I got to level 145 in Trimps -- the feeling of progress stops after around level 120. I haven't played it in a few days so I think I've broken that addiction.

really like this

good so far, and easy and straightforward enough for me to not get bored

yeah, "shallow but broad" feels right from what i've played

i did everything except land in the Orphanage. hint?

haven't done that bit!

eventually figured it out, mission complete. had to go to every single planet and talk to everyone again to find the reference I missed, which wasn't too bad all in all.
i really appreciate when IF isn't insanely obscure/hard. good stuff

found it thru this article

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/06/15/if-only-text-adventures-for-people-who-hate-guessing-the-verb/

which might well be up your street then

haha definitely!

I ate the cactus. Oops.

so dumb lol

i learned a valuable kitten lesson

too irresistable not to type "eat cactus"

it wouldn't let me pee on the cactus, knock it over or hiss at it, so I just had to eat it instead

had to

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who tried peeing on the cactus.

i won the game

(i tried a few things and then eventually closed the window before eating it)

both ate and learned
