what if

what if angora rabbit had top knot

Geemu (Do Not Play) is said to be the unofficial remake of a 00s browser horror game that was wiped off the face of the internet, achieving urban legend status. This is the first I hear of it, but I must say I'm rather persuaded. This was, after all, the heyday of the genre in Japan.

Fortunately, the development team at SCRAP has pledged to publish an English version on Steam.

Wordle the Fighting Game Character Tier List

After playing Wordle for three months and becoming a mod on /r/wordle, I’ve analyzed every possible starting word for greens, useful yellows, narrowing the solutions, and trap avoidance. Now, here’s the culmination of my. Research: a fighting game character tier list! Every character here is playable and ranked by their effectiveness in Hard Mode. Go run the bracket on those puzzles!

Control Config Menus

I’ve been updating my VOGJAM game Skeleton Hunter with new features like custom button mapping. PC games need this because players might have foreign keyboards, nonstandard gamepads, or disabilites that make the default controls unusable. Mine works like the PC version of Skullgirls where every action has both a keyboard key and a gamepad button, and you can assign them one by one or all at once. Please try it and tell me if the menus work the way you expect them to.

Skeleton Hunter

I made another game! For VOGJam 1 the theme was “A Buggy Game,” so I made Skeleton Hunter, a broken little 2D platform game in HTML5. You are the hunter from Skeleton’s Revenge going around defeating skeletons and the necromancer that keeps summoning them. Jump backwards through walls, wrap around the screen, undo deaths by pressing Pause, and utterly pick apart the game. I hope this makes it into Awful Games Done Quick someday.

Google Chrome has gamepad support and is the recommended browser for playing this game. UPDATE: v1.02 has support for gamepads in Firefox and control config for all platforms.

Yes, there is a way to reach the title screen with the hunter. Try escaping boss rooms.

Because I didn't have time to make a controller configuration menu, I basically just allowed for every control scheme at once. Even gamepads are supported if you're using Google Chrome. (Or Firefox in v1.02, which has a controller configuration menu now.

If you do a jump attack facing away from the wall, you can get inside the wall. I knew from the moment the theme was announced that I wanted to do a game with bad collision detection.

The skeleton wasn't even implemented until two days before the deadline. It turned out alright, though.

Holy crap, what happened here? Did that guy walk off the title screen to the right? You broke my game! How could you?

QBillion

From my pile of forgotten Game Boy carts comes QBillion. You have a top-down view of stacks of boxes. The goal is to reduce these boxes to a single flat layer. Once you wrap your head around that, it’s intuitive, but the puzzles get downright fiendish. 15 years later, the developer is gone, the copyright has lapsed, and a young developer has made a free HTML5 remake.

Yup, this is the HD version. Everything is about double the resolution of the Game Boy game. Click here to play.

Minigolf Exam

Finally, I get to post a game I made! Minigolf Exam is an 8-hole miniature golf game where you only get one round to prove your skills! If you do badly on your first run, you are a minigolf failure forever. I made this game in 48 hours as my Ludum Dare #28 compo submission, and I wrote a few status updates about it here.

Chopin’s Twist Guide

Most Tetris games made since 2001 let you twist blocks into gaps that seem impossible. Some of these setups can be used to help correct mistakes, and others are just for fun. Even if you only learn the T-Spins, you’ll be able to send garbage faster than just back-to-back Tetrises all day. If you want to play around with twists, try King of Stackers, a turn-based Tetris battle sim where you can use every trick in the book to make the most of your seven pieces per turn.

Frog Fractions

Frog Fractions is an epic journey masquerading as an edutainment game. I played this blind on my stream for eleven fifths of an hour, and it was a trip. Sure enough, by the time I was done, I had gotten better at investing money based on how flammable my warehouse is. The only proper way to play this game is with at little prior knowledge as possible, so just play it now and look stuff up later.

What are you doing reading this old post? Go play Frog Fractions already.

Tower of Heaven

Tower of Heaven is a Game Boy-styled platform game with a great soundtrack that keeps adding conditions for failure. The controls are simple, but it's easy to get near the end of a section and accidentally break one of the game's many rules. Take ten minutes and try this out. Since then, they've made another game, Pause Ahead, which I want to run blind on my stream soon.

Speedrun times are almost a minute faster than this. This is a fun game to run, and I'd totally race this on SpeedRunsLive. There's only one real skip, and everything else is just platforming skill.
