Flash Friday: Mountain Maniac

You didn't think I would forget Flash Friday because of Christmas Eve did you?

Well, today's Flash game is another by Pixel Jam, the same developer that made Dino Run.

This is Mountain Maniac.

You're a raging mountain man that's mad as hell and can't take it anymore, so, like any raging mountain man, he takes it out on the town by using his hammer to dislodge boulders that destroy anything in it's path. Sounds fun, right? It's basically like a really large game of plinko, but you do have control over the direction the boulders will fall.

Why did I choose this game for today? Well, there's a Christmas-themed version! It seems the mountain man took a job as a mall Santa, but he's had enough of it! Take out all your holiday rage on Christmas eve with this fun little flash game!

Flash Friday: Dino Run

I almost forgot I was going to keep this an ongoing thing!

The flash game for today is a pixel style platformer called...

Dino Run

If you recall, I love dinosaurs and this game places you in the consciousness of a small theropod escaping the imminent doom that is the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. You have to run your way through each level, continuously trying to outrun the blast. You can also upgrade your dinosaur before each level depending on how many DNA points you have.

That's a short overview of the game, now go play it!


Second Opinion: DrFinkelstein

I gave this game a go just now and I was surprised. It's essentially like Sonic The Hedgehog with Dinosaurs and a greater sense of peril. It's kind of a morose game if you really think about it, but play it anyway. I also appreciated the very 8-bit look and sound of the title.
