Occupy Flash comes to bury, not praise, Adobe's Flash Player plug-in for desktop browsers. "Flash Player is dead. Its time has passed. It's buggy. It crashes a lot. It requires constant security updates," <a href="http://occupyflash.org/" rel="nofollow">http://occupyflash.org/</a> Our goal: To get the world to uninstall the Flash Player plugin from their desktop browsers. The only way to truly force the web to embrace modern open standards is to invalidate old technology. Now let's be clear: Disabling Flash Player in your browser will likely mean that some of the sites you use regularly are less usable (We're looking at you, Google Analytics. For shame!). Should you choose to join the movement, there will be some pain and sacrifice involved in your decision. But the more of us who run browsers that don't support Flash, the quicker that pain will subside. Note: This is not a campaign against Adobe, or even their Flash platform. We're sure there are plenty of good uses for it, such as building great Air applications, for example. In fact, Adobe has stated they believe HTML5 is the future of web browsing. We're simply trying to help them get there a little faster (Sidenote: Adobe, if you're reading this, how about manning-up and supporting this site, like Microsoft did with the IE6 Funeral) Use HTML5 Options when available Many sites are starting to support HTML5 for things that once required Flash. For example, you can use YouTube without Flash by going to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/html5" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/html5</a> and opting in to their non-Flash video player Whiterabbit-uk on "Week 163 - Good Games to Grab - Draka (horror arcade)" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10668#post-96555 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:49:03 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 96555@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Thanks Chazzo delenn13 on "Week 163 - Good Games to Grab - Halloween Shooter (arcade)" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10664#post-96490 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:31:35 +0000 delenn13 96490@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Maybe if I have time..and REMEMBER!

So the swf file isn't the game itself. Clever. Once downloaded to the player it must be stored on the computer somewhere as some sort of temp file, but goodness knows where this stored location is. (I know this as once loaded it will continue to play if I switch my internet off, but it won't load in the first place if the connection is off before attempting to load) It isn't in any temp location I've found yet, certainly not in the normal user temp folder. Locating and then using this would in any case be sure to be in breach of bored.com copyright! If someone was clever enough to decompile the small swf file (don't ask me!), they might find the origin of the actual gamefile and (?) be able to obtain it, but this would very certainly breach the distributor's copyright. That's a lot of words to say 'we can't play this one entirely offline!' Flash OffLiner should play swf games that are over about 1Mb in size, but when the swf file is just a small number of Kb in size, it isn't the game itself! ;) delenn13 on "Week 163 - Good Games to Grab - Halloween Shooter (arcade)" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10664#post-96461 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:59:02 +0000 delenn13 96461@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ This is a cute fun one too.

Rather than ghouls and ghosts, it has a Halloween based theme of a cute cartoony vampire-like ‘spider’ who can throw out a web string to any indicated location within a green circle, i.e. within a set distance of the spider. You can then cut web parts individually or in multiple or cut all of these by clicking on the spider, hopefully making the spider land on its victim(s)! <center><img src="http://assets.gamezhero.com/images/gameLargeImages/drakaBig.jpg"></center> Draka is a mysterious dark creature, who looks like spider, and who has been awakened by some person acting most incautiously. Now he rocks the town by his notorious deeds - biting people and turning them immediately into spiders. Draka has made up a plan to turn a certain number of the townspeople into spiders, but the local citizens now already being aware of him, and are ready to take action and measures to stop him in his tracks. Help Draka to accomplish his mission before he gets caught! <center> <img src="http://www.digminigames.com/wp-post-thumbnail/DkU18A.jpg"></center> Draka starts off very easy with the first few levels acting as a tutorial, but does get quite or very challenging as you go up through the levels. Finding which location(s) to spin a web line to and in what order to cut them, or indeed when to cut them all at once will get you well entangled in Draka the spider’s world! The game is semi-physics based, so you have to use gravity assist when you can and when you drop in on your latest victim! <center> <img src="http://cache.hackedfreegames.com/uploads/games/thumbnails/4SZW5JQ41NKL.jpg"></center> The game is played with a mouse, clicking on available locations to spin a line to; and holding the mouse button and drawing across a line or lines you have made will cut the line(s). Clicking on Draka will cut all of the webs you have spun at once. Draka is only supported by the webs you make initially, but later other objects eg walls and roofs play a part and you will have to manoeuvre Draka around or off these objects by making and cutting new web lines. Being a spider of course, Draka can remake any web lines cut, provided they are within his reach! Then you’ll get torches to avoid which can harm Draka, and other objects to assist Draka such as balloons and crates. Web lines are elastic and stretchy so you can sometimes launch Draka in the desired direction. <center><img src="http://www.flashgames247.com/images/14459.jpg"></center> The graphics are cartoony and great, and gameplay is a lot of fun as you try to get Draka new and tastier victims! There’s suitable sound effects and music to play along to. Don’t blame Draka for his compulsive biting habits, he’s only a spider and a vampire one, at that. So Draka bites! It’s up to you to provide him with his victims! <center> <img src="http://1pd.org/games/draka.jpg"></center> Who let loose the spider?! Can someone give Draka a new home? “Draka, Draka, come out, come on out, where are you?” Video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66-E8vmumao"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66-E8vmumao" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66-E8vmumao</a></a> Video Walkthrough <a href="http://www.gamezhero.com/walkthroughs/draka-games.html">HERE</a> Download <a href="http://izismile.com/2011/10/28/draka.html">HERE</a> (click on ‘download the game’ link immediately below the game, this opens a new tab with the game loaded. ‘Save page as’ from your browser to download a playable offline version.

It has a Halloween theme of course with all of the trimmings, but as well as being partly a fun challenge, it also has a brighter and well funny side to it! There are 20 levels to complete, with 4 bonus levels unlockable at bored.com. <center><img src="http://cdn1.image.bored.com/games/thumbnails/HalloweenShooter_135x100.gif"></center> You see, as Count Dracula you can launch multiple (!) clones of yourself with a simple aiming system, to complete various tasks that no Count Dracula worth his salt (ouch!) could fail or fail to attempt! Now I say aha, as it’s dawned on me (shut out that sunlight someone!) that you have switch between the different monsters to fit the task in hand, so Dracula himself shuts coffin lids on himself, witches go into the cauldron and the mummy fits into his multi-colored case or casket. Try the wrong monsters and they’ll just pile up ridiculously as you shoot them at the targets. <center><img src="http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/20111025/jeux/halloween_shooter_02.jpg"></center> To complicate matters slightly you then have to collect various monster coins to unlock the monster types. Then you get more monster types like Frankenstein, and more complicated tasks to do! Plus moving platforms and swinging beams, but it never gets too difficult! There are of course evil pumpkins that do their best to get in the way! <center><img src="http://blog.bored.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Halloween-Shooter-Walkthrough.jpg"></center> The graphics are bright and colorful and very nicely drawn. The tasks are semi-physics based and there are some cute animations. There are packs of candy a plenty and it’s fun trying to get all of these, as well as completing the challenges. The sound/music is bright but deliberately annoying after a short (or very short!) while. <center><img src="http://www.cloft.co.uk/images/hs%201.jpg"></center> It’s mouse controlled, aim with the mouse and shoot using the left mouse button. Placing the cursor further out lengthens the shot by increasing its power. It does get mighty challenging later on! It plays in most media or Shockwave players with the downloaded file via an internet connection, but not in a browser from the download. You can also play it online at a large number of sites. This is a bright and cheerful fun Halloween game for all ages!

But that's only because I'm broke, not because I'm patient :) Speaking of Portal, Steam's Midweek Madness sale is featuring both Portal 1 and 2 on sale to accompany the free (co-op) DLC of Portal 2. You can buy both games for just £11.49 ($17.49) or just Portal 2 for £9.99 ($14.99). Or you can get the Portal 2 two-pack for you and a friend for £17.49 ($27.49). Portal 1 is still the standard price of £6.99 ($9.99). <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/620/">Any way you count it, Portal 2 is 50% off for another 32 hours :)</a> Whiterabbit-uk on "Week 156 - Good Games to Grab 3rd Anniversary - Portal (flash puzzle platform)" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10534#post-95748 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 08:17:19 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 95748@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Thanks Bently, I'll check that out. It was thanks to the free version that my son got into portal and when the second one came out he'd already saved for it. I told him to wait for a few months as he'd be able to get it for half price, did he listen (just like his dad). About 4 weeks after he'd purchased it it was on offer for 40 to 50% off.

Just click on the MapPack link in the bottom right hand corner. <a href="http://portal.wecreatestuff.com/" rel="nofollow">http://portal.wecreatestuff.com/</a> It's very interesting to see how they've translated a 2D game into a 3D world without losing any of the puzzles.

It gets remarkably difficult very quickly, as you are limited by the game as to where you can place entry and exit portals (dark areas are automatically prohibited, but other walls/floors/ceiling may or may not permit portals. Use the mouse left click to set the first portal and left click somewhere else to set the second portal. Press the ‘R’ key to reset portals, as they often get placed other than where you want them! Portals in this game are bi-directional. There is a good (and often needed!) walkthrough at <a href="http://armorgames.com/walkthrough/107" rel="nofollow">http://armorgames.com/walkthrough/107</a>. You might end up cussing the screen bluer than a BSOD playing this one! It's a very enjoyable fun, but often very challenging game! Do try this one! If it won’t play in your browser, use windows Media Player or the free Swiff Player (Google for this) - or you can play online <a href="http://armorgames.com/play/107/portal-the-flash-version">HERE</a>.

I love platform games but found the Quadrax ones too darned difficult for me. Not that these look much easier with the ability to move two characters at once. I'll give it a go when I've got them all downloaded. Much appreciated again Chazzo, you have listed many great games, especially for me as I'm not really into shooters (apart from Chickenator which is the most difficult shooter there is, have you played it or got it:) chazzo125 on "Week 155 - Good Games to Grab - Fireboy & Watergirl 1, 2 & 3 (puzzle platform)" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10347#post-94562 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 02:41:50 +0000 chazzo125 94562@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Fireboy & Watergirl 1, 2 & 3 ( <1Mb for each game) These are popular flash platform games that involve moving two characters independently and using both characters to complete tasks and finish levels. I’ve manage to find downloads for the original game and both sequels, so you can play them all offline, hence this post. There are also links to the similar games Twin Cats Warrior 1 & 2 with downloads, later in the forum post here for these also. Gameplay is similar in both games and is quite a standard platform game, though having two characters to move adds character to the games. They are bit like the earlier versions of Quadrax, with arcade elements, but without the extreme difficulty or very complicated levels of Quadrax! And the fact that here you can move both characters simultaneously if you wish. <center>Fireboy and Watergirl 1</center> <center><img src="http://www.lazylaces.com/pics/01/center_fire_water.jpg"></center> Fireboy and water does not mix, and Watergirl does not mix with fire, though Fireboy and Watergirl can co-exist together. Green mud is dangerous to both, and respectively colored gems are only collected by the respective character. There are various puzzles to solve, some of them physics based, including lining up rays of light using mirrors. Some levels are dark except in the immediate vicinity of the characters to add to the fun. Certain levels require simultaneous movement of both characters, or collecting a green crystal, to reach the individual exits for each of the two playable characters. Several new levels are unlocked by successfully completing a level. There are 32 versions in the first game and 42 levels for the second. Each level is timed and the time allowed varies for each different level. The difficulty level increases gradually throughout the levels, with the first few levels being comparatively easy, especially if you move the characters mostly one at a time. <center><img src="http://wow1.com/media/pictures/4002Clipboard076.jpg"></center> Half the fun is controlling the correct character as it’s all too easy to move the wrong one and promptly have to restart the level, if either character gets killed. I have to admit, despite my playing guitar and some piano/keyboard, that except where it is absolutely necessary to move both characters together, I move one hand between the controls and move each character individually. It’s a bit like patting my head and rubbing my tummy, it needs plenty of mind/eyes/hand co-ordination to move both characters at once and avoid getting killed. It suits co-op play with two players at the same time of course, with the separate controls. <center>Fireboy and Watergirl 2 </center> <center><img src="http://174.120.103.90/images/fireboy-and-watergirl-2-big.jpg"></center> You use the ‘arrow’ keys to control Fireboy and the ‘W,A,D’ keys to control Watergirl. The up key in each case is used to jump. Menus are mouse navigated and you can retry a level or choose another level by left clicking the green button the base of each level. They play in XP, Vista and Win 7 in a sizeable window which can go nearly full-screen. There is also a Fireboy and Watergirl 3 (30 levels). You can play this online eg <a href="http://www.gamenode.com/adventure-games/fireboy-watergirl-the-forest-temple-3/">HERE</a> or <a href="http://www.abroy.com/play/adventure-games/fireboy-and-watergirl-3/">HERE</a> , or Download from <a href="http://www.y9t.com/media/swf/4001.swf">HERE</a> (use ‘save page as’.swf from browser, once you’ve opened the page, noting the save location).

It also seems to play much better, and is generally much more fun! You also don’t have to scroll the screen, which is a decided advantage! Lastly, there are proper sound effects, not the ridiculous word Boom on the screen for explosions in the game giveaway! <center><img src="http://img.izismile.com/img/img3/20101013/jeux/pirates_vs_ninjas.jpg"></center> You play 30 levels as Pirates and 30 levels as Ninjas. Some of the later levels require very accurate shooting, and you are given a par score for each of the 60 levels after playing the level. My record is 60 shots where the par is 20 (Uh-Oh!), second attempt rather better! You can replay levels you have completed, and unlock further levels as you progress. The difficulty of levels does vary and after a very difficult one you ‘might’ get a much more straightforward one. <center><img src="http://blog.mad4flash.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pirates-vs-ninjas.jpg"></center> The animations are a lot of fun, and the game is tremendously funny at times! Ninjas have a health bar and it may take more than one hit to finish them off. The aiming system is very good, no power bars, just point- and-click. Nearer your ship= less power, further away=more power, with the position setting the direction of the shot. There’s a wind factor involved, along with the motion of your ship affecting shots. Obstacles can hinder or be sometimes used to help with your shots. <center><img src="http://www.unigamesity.com/wp-content/uploads//2010/10/pirates-vs-ninjas.jpg"></center> Some levels have indestructible items, and there are various mechanisms to set in motion, including springs later on to bounce your cannon balls or bombs off. There’s booty to shoot for higher scores, and captives later on to avoid, as if they die you will lose the level. The Ninja master and Pirate captain can’t be killed by direct hits, only by knocking them off-screen, into spikes or into the water. Cannon balls and bombs trajectories can take them off-screen and sometime back onto screen at a further location. You can also bounce your cannon balls or bombs off whales, or use their water spouts to assist! If you can feed your enemies to the Kraken later on, you will get a bonus score. <center><img src="http://www.juggernart.com/games/free-online-ninja-samurai/img/screens/pirates-vs-ninjas-battle.jpg"></center> The only thing that jars is the silly (but sometimes funny) 'insult' messages from your ship at the start of the levels. The music and sound effects are jolly and fun. The graphics are suitably bright and jolly to match.

Apple blame Adobe, but I am equally sure the 'fault' is directly with Apple. However similar phones and products not made by Apple DO have Flash capability, so Apple are shooting themselves right in the foot over this one! chazzo125 on "Week 147 - Good Games to Grab - Snail Bob 1 & 2 (Physics based puzzle games)" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10051#post-94037 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 13:31:07 +0000 chazzo125 94037@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Thanks Dellen :) Would like to think they might consider bringing out a Snail Bob 3 as the other two are just a little bit on the short side! delenn13 on "Week 147 - Good Games to Grab - Snail Bob 1 & 2 (Physics based puzzle games)" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10051#post-94024 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:53:50 +0000 delenn13 94024@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ These look way too cool, Chazzo.

They are excellent for children being cartoony and very humorous! And for the young at heart at all ages! The puzzles are very nicely graded from very easy to quite a challenge, especially the later levels. I played them both through, 20 levels for Snail Bob and 25 levels for Snail Bob 2 in about half an hour, but they could take quite a bit longer depending on how well you can solve fun logical puzzles. Some levels are very funny, as are some of the cartoon animations. Some need trial and error, and repeated attempts to find out what is going on, solve the puzzles and put it all into practice! Snail Bob 1 <center><img src="http://www.cloft.co.uk/images/sn%20b%201.jpg"> </center> <center><img src="http://www.bgamesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/snail-bob.jpg"></center> They are a lot of fun and very thoroughly enjoyable to play, though most puzzles shouldn’t be too taxing. But they might take a little brain power to solve! There are an assortment of switches, lifting and retractable bridges, falling blocks, turntables, operable springs, rolling stones and other contraptions. Some are some button operated switches , some are sliding switches, rotating levers, or dragable up/down levers. You can click on Bob to stop him, or click on 1 or 2 onscreen to change his speed. Mouse operated items generally have a dotted white circle around them when they are available. Other buttons need a logical puzzle sequence to unlock/operate them. There’s a video walkthrough available, though I didn’t use this myself to complete both games. Some basic hints are given in-game. The games are multi-language, and you can play them offline in your browser or most media players, if you download them.
