In these days we are trying to manage the huge amount of submissions we receive almost daily, so here we go with five new games and a prototype.

Prototype: Jens Krause sent us the Flash porting of the iPod’s game “Parachute”, entirely developed in OOP: it’s “WS-Parachute“.

Games:

• The Good Ghost: it’s a sort of platform game in which you have to help the good ghost in his journey to save his family.
• Heidi One: a great game reminiscent of “Space Wars”, the first videogame of the history. It’s really worth playing.
• Maganic Wars Survival OutSite: the new and improved version of Maganic Wars, a succesful cards game we already hosted on gotoAndPlay().
• Panda Park: a fast-paced two-player game with fresh and unique gameplay ideas, in which you have a set of different rules and goals that can be changed by the players to their own advantage while the game is actually running.
• Planks: a single-level puzzle game, in which you have to slide wooden tiles to reach your goal.

Have fun!

Hello,
we have 3 new great games and a new article available online.

Games:

• GammaBros: a great shooter reminescent of the classic arcades. A must play for all the retro-gaming fans! (warning: the game is 5mb, takes a while to load but it’s well worth it!)
• Duck Hunt (Nes): an accurate port of this classic arcade title from the Nes console to the flash player
• Quick Stack: a simple and addictive puzzle game where you have to pile up blocks and destroy them before they reach the ceiling.

Article: posted by Chris Lindsey, it’s a pendulum like prototype based on the Jacob Nielsen papers.

Enjoy!
