Back with another Link Dump Friday! Showing you our collection of fabulous games this week will be me, the guy whose face is trapped in a square to the left. Playing the part of the contestant will be you, people reading this text! We still don't have any volunteers to play the excited armadillo sitting in the corner eating cereal, though... http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/link_dump_friday_76.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/link_dump_friday_76.php blogging Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0500 Onekey is a character-based platform game played with only "one key", and thus the mystery of the title is solved. The catch is that you can't affect the main character directly. Instead, you control various objects in the environment while he blunders around falling off of things. This is a good one. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/onekey.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/onekey.php games Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:14:41 -0500 Play as a row in a database where your objective is to fight the other rows to decrease their numbers and increase your own. It's a numbers game, pure and simple, and by not pretending to be anything else, mySQLgame has managed to take the ubiquitous browser-based MMO and distill it down to the very essence of the genre. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/mysqlgame.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/mysqlgame.php games Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:38:17 -0500 Miniature white gnomes have been spotted all over the city for half a year now, and their number only appears to grow. Their presence seems permanent, and there is no apparent end to them. Join us in trying to find them all, please. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/gnome_infestation_envelops_city.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/gnome_infestation_envelops_city.php games Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:22:51 -0500 This week, we present the exclusive debut of a super-duper, extra-special room escape game, one we can guarantee that absolutely no other website has yet featured. Don't you feel special? To all the JIG faithful, we present to you the world premiere of....

I know I'm not! Here's another one, comin' atcha! Control a smoothly animated silhouette of a man who is trapped in the middle of a giant maze full of spikes and shifting blocks. Alter gravity by rotating the entire room 90 degrees at a time! http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/never_end.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/never_end.php games Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:28:00 -0500 interactive fiction created by Adam Cadre. In Varicella, you have the pleasure of abandoning your usual scruples to play one of the most delightfully nasty antiheroes that I've come across: the eponymous Primo Varicella, Palace Minister at the Palazzo del Piemonte, and a tremendous opportunity awaits you. Can you seize the day (and the throne)?]]> http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/varicella.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/varicella.php games Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:25:32 -0500 Felix Reidl. You have two minutes to collect as many yellow squares as possible, while various gun turrets try to mow you down. Whenever you start to feel overwhelmed, you should hit [Space], which instantly ends your game and adds up your score. If you don't hit the space bar in time—and this is important—you don't get any points. You have only one life, and if you die, your score is zero.]]> http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/survivor_115.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/survivor_115.php games Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:05:47 -0500 A new action puzzle game from NinjaKiwi, Boombot is beautifully simple and well-executed. Your job, as some sort of evil omniscient explosives technician, is to maneuver an itty-bitty robot called Boombot to the exit of each level. Aside from the black bombs under your control, you'll have to manipulate TNT, oil drums, and explosive Senso-Gel to clear all fifty levels. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/boombot.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/boombot.php games Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:09:24 -0500 Developed by Soldak Entertainment, Depths of Peril is an action-RPG with a huge emphasis on political/diplomatic strategy. The end result is something new and fresh; an independent, isometric action-RPG unlike anything you've played before, which also won the "RPG Game of the Year" award from GameTunnel. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/depths_of_peril.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/depths_of_peril.php games Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:46:06 -0500 Today I would like to use this space to address a horrible error made just one week ago: I neglected to mention the previous Weekend Download was number 50! That means we've placed over 250 downloadable games before your eyes, which is... well, plenty of excuses not to do your homework or fill out your TPS reports. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/weekend_download_51.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/weekend_download_51.php blogging Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:13:09 -0500 Music Catch is a full-featured downloadable version of the previously released Flash game also titled Music Catch. The name describes exactly what the game is all about: catching music. Well, catching shapes, to be more accurate, but the shapes are generated according to the music being played, quite literally dropping you inside each song you listen to/play. It's a subtly simple experience that's almost trance-like in nature. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/music_catch_download.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/music_catch_download.php games Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:19:41 -0500 Just like the previous two Link Dump Friday features, this week we have a boatload of games to keep your fingers twitching. Unlike the previous articles, however, this one has a tasty breakfast treat I have long been calling for: WAFFLES!!! *confetti* http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/link_dump_friday_75.php http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/08/link_dump_friday_75.php blogging Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:57:17 -0500
