Flash Friday Temporarily Suspended

(This isn't an April Fool's joke, it really is suspended.)

I usually don't have trouble with finding Flash games. I sometimes have trouble finding Flash games to present on Friday. The main reason I created this feature was to have something weekly on the site, and it helped me come up with other ideas for weekly articles. Unfortunately, this feature, unlike the other ones, had a bit of limited number of articles I could make due to the amount of "good" Flash games I have encountered. There are a lot more Flash games out there yes... but... who am I kidding, I'm lazy, I feel this might be a time to reflect on what I've presented so far, and may give me time to find some more Flash games to feature in the near future.

There have been 20 Flash Fridays so far, here is a list of links to each one, ordered from when they were posted:

11/12/10: Upgrade Complete!
11/19/10: Dino Run
11/26/10: Achievement Unlocked
12/3/10: Ant Buster
12/10/10: One Chance
12/17/10: Tower of Heaven
12/24/10: Mountain Maniac
12/31/10: Miami/Sydney Shark
1/7/11: Dolphin Olympics
1/14/11: Infectonator World Dominator
1/21/11: Small Worlds
1/28/11: Exctinct! Are you smarter than a plant?
2/4/11: Realm of the Mad God
2/11/11: Covetous

3/4/11: How to Raise a Dragon
3/11/11: Robot Dinosaurs That Shoot Beams When They Roar

I hope you have all enjoyed what I've shared with you so far. I'm not sure when I'll start up Flash Friday again, but it won't be suspended for more than a month at least. I just need some time to play more Flash games.

Flash Friday: The Majesty of Colors

This week's game is pretty strange, you take control of a giant tentacle creature under the ocean.

Like with Covetous and One Chance, there are multiple endings to this, it's up to your own curiosity to find all the endings.

Flash Friday: Meat Boy

I'm starting to run out of flash games to post... well, the ones that I can remember playing anyway, and that means I'll have to go hunting for more to post in future flash fridays!

Anyway, today's game is Meat Boy, the prototype flash game to Super Meat Boy. I'm not sure how it compares to the indie game hit, but it is definitely a challenging platformer.

Tip: If all else fails, you can always rage quit

(That's what I did...)

Flash Friday: Covetous

You really... don't want to play this.

Or maybe you do just out of sheer curiosity. It's not scary or anything... it's just... very morbid, for a game that's done in an 8-bit style. I'm afraid I can't give away many details because I don't really want to spoil the game since it's so short, I will tell you this though, there are two endings.

Covetous

Tell me how you feel after playing it.

Flash Friday: Miami/Sydney Shark

Well, it's the last Flash Friday of the year, and the last day of the year, how convenient!

After Christmas last Saturday, we had a foot of snow fall here in North Carolina, and while it's nice to see since it's a rarity in my area... I'm getting a bit sick of it, and dreaming of spring and summer.

And what better way to dream of spring and summer than pretending to be a vicious man-eating shark causing terror in a major coastal city!

This is Miami Shark.

And for those of you in the southern hemisphere, where it's already summer, here is Sydney Shark.

Flash Friday: Tower of Heaven

Since another article of mine today was about a demake made to look like a Game Boy game... I figured I would share a Flash game that's made to look like one. Tower of Heaven is a platformer that gets more difficult with each level due to this God that gives you rules to follow such as, "Thou Shalt Not Walk Left" and if you don't follow the rules, you will be smitten. It may seem very difficult to follow the rule I just stated when you have a saw-blade heading towards you from the right and no way to jump over it in a small corridor. Though there is always a way to get past each level.

Flash Friday: One Chance

What would you do if all life on Earth was going to die within a week? Well, find out in this very short flash game called 'One Chance.' There are multiple endings, so you can play it over again many time if you'd like to see them all.

Flash Friday: Upgrade Complete!

Since I have extreme writer's block right now, I thought this would be the perfect time to unleash a cheap alternative to writing my opinion: sharing free flash games that I've played! For this Friday, I give you...

Upgrade Complete!

It's a very basic shmup, but with a catch... you have to literally upgrade everything in the game. Even the preloader for the game itself!

So... go play it and tell us what you think about it!
