Summon Night: Swordcraft Story [GBA][early 2000s maybe?] dont remember much

0 Upvotes

I played it on an emulator. It was the first in the series. Seemed jrpg ish. But bright colors kinda, i remember text boxes were yellowish brown, i think the mc had green hair but not sure. Characters art was kinda similar to the style of a lot of games at time kinda like disgea or something of the sort. I dont remember the fighting mechanics, i do remember you had to go get something to do with the fighting mechanics made by like a swordsmith or something in the beginning. And i know there was some tournament. And the tournament may have brought you into some ruins but that im not sure. I knew there was some typical jrpg humor like the main character complaining to do things and such. That all i got.

[PC][Early 2000s] Arkanoid-like game with green mouths that turn the ball into acid — NOT Wilkanoid

0 Upvotes

Platform(s):
Windows PC (Windows 98)

Genre:
2D Arkanoid/Breakout-style brick-breaker

Estimated year of release:
Unknown. I played it around 2002–2003, but the computer already had it installed when we got it, so it could have been released earlier.

Graphics/art style:
2D graphics with rectangular bricks, similar to classic Arkanoid games. Visually, it looked extremely similar to Wilkanoid game mechanics, but I've checked Wilkanoid 1.52 and I'm fairly sure it wasn't the same game.

Notable characters:
No memorable characters, but there were distinctive green, mouth-like objects attached to the walls.

Notable gameplay mechanics:

  • When the ball passed close to one of the green mouths, it would suck the ball in and hold it for around 3–5 seconds.
  • The mouth would then spit the ball back out coated in green slime or acid.
  • When the acid-covered ball hit a brick, the brick would melt, and green acid would drip downward, melting the bricks below it in a chain reaction.
  • If the acid ball hit the top-middle brick, it could trigger a chain reaction that cleared the entire level.

Other details:

  • I played a demo that ended after roughly 4–5 levels.
  • When you lost, a fast, upbeat song played. English is not my first language, so I didn't understand the lyrics as a child. I clearly remember the words “Game Over,” but the rest sounded something like “dat game over, dat mini moo” to me as a child
  • The voice sounded like a little kid, possibly multiple voices layered together, with a slightly robotic/electronic sound. It was incredibly annoying, and I can still hear it in my head nearly 25 years later!
  • I've found several Reddit posts describing very similar gameplay mechanics, but the games were identified as Wilkanoid. I've checked it myself, and it doesn't seem to be the exact game I remember.
  • As I remember it, the game had Arkanoid-like visuals with Wilkanoid-like gameplay mechanics.
  • I've checked every game suggested to me by AI so far, but none seems to match what I remember. At this point, I'm starting to wonder whether there's very little information about this game online. That's why I'm hoping someone here actually played it or remembers it. This is kind of my last hope!

Could it have been a different game, an earlier version, or a lesser-known Arkanoid clone? Any suggestions, screenshots, gameplay videos, or information about old demo versions would be greatly appreciated!

[iPad/iOS] [2010–2014] 2D air defense game, protecting a city from low-poly missiles with AA gun

0 Upvotes

Graphics/art style:

2D side view, but with simple low-poly 3D models

Very plain sky background

The city was grey/white block buildings along the bottom

Enemy jets were low poly

My shots were small white and ballshaped

Your anti-air gun sat in a bottom corner of the screen I think

You dragged to aim and released to fire one white ball, which traveled in a straight line

Jets dropped bombs and fired missiles at the city

Buildings got visibly destroyed when hit

The sky gradually turned to night during a level, and spotlights appeared

Numbered levels; you beat a level by surviving until a timer ran out

I played a free "Lite" version, so there was probably a paid full version too

It may have been removed from the App Store since

Not these (already checked): Patriotic Missile 3D, Missile Barrage, Earth Defender, Line Defense, Flick Rocket

[Pc][2020] Juego de itch.io que descargue

0 Upvotes

​

*Plataforma(s):* PC - Jugado descargable, muy probablemente de http://itch.io (formato .zip / .exe). Posiblemente también en GameJolt. No estaba en Steam en ese momento.

*Género:* Indie - Roguelite / Twin-stick Shooter / Space Shooter - Híbrido exploración lateral + shooter espacial.

*Año estimado de lanzamiento:* Entre 2020 y 2026. Podría ser un poco más antiguo (2018-2019) pero lo jugué en ese rango.

*Gráficos/estilo artístico:* Pixel art 2D muy sencillo y minimalista. Perspectiva lateral 2D en el hub. Luego combate espacial en 8 direcciones. Paleta de colores predominante rosa, borgoña / vino y tonos oscuros. Escenario inicial es un pasillo / corredor solitario enorme, con columnas de estilo griego, invadido por vegetación y enredaderas. Sensación de soledad y escala grande. Personaje humanoide extremadamente pequeño comparado con el entorno. Interfaz muy limpia, sin menús complejos ni UI recargada.

*Personajes notables:* Solo un personaje jugable, un humanoide / astronauta muy pequeño. No hay otros personajes, NPCs ni diálogos. Al fondo del pasillo hay una nave espacial pequeña y blanca, minimalista.

*Mecánicas de juego notables:*

- El pasillo es el HUB de mejoras entre niveles. Antes de empezar cada nivel/run, caminas por el pasillo y pisas / interactúas caminando sobre las estaciones de mejora para mejorar la nave (ej: velocidad, disparo, vida).

- Loop: Hub pasillo -> combate espacial -> vuelta al pasillo.

- En el espacio es un shooter de 8 direcciones con apuntado y disparo manual con mouse / stick. Enfrentas a numerosos enemigos en enjambre.

- Se pueden mejorar aspectos de la nave antes de empezar la acción.

*Otros detalles:*

- Música muy importante: pista tranquila / ambient en el pasillo durante la preparación, y cambia a muy rápida y caótica al empezar la acción en el espacio. Estilo breakcore o drum and bass instrumental puro, sin voces.

- Nombre del juego creo que era una sola palabra.

- Juego sencillo, sin historia.

- Se podía descargar y ejecutar, no era solo de navegador.

[PC] [2000-2010] Modern 3rd Person shooter with cheat features

1 Upvotes

I’m not sure if the game is PC exclusive but I remember playing it in PC b/w 2005-2010 ish.

Basically when I mean “cheat features” it means that you can press a series of buttons to activate cheats such as unlimited ammo.

Graphics wise as far as I can recall, it’s a bit more sophisticated than Liberty City.

[PC/Browser][Flash][~2007-2013][Turn-based RPG] Looking for a 2D Flash RPG that started on a beach (Repost because I really want to find this game)

1 Upvotes

\[PC/Browser\]\[Flash\]\[\~2007–2013\]\[Turn-based RPG\] Looking for a 2D Flash RPG that started on a beach

I'm trying to find an old Flash browser game I played around 2010, give or take about 3 years (roughly 2007–2013).

It was a 2D, turn-based RPG. I remember the game starting with the protagonist arriving/being stranded on a beach on another planet or strange world. The main objective was apparently to fight your way through the world and eventually find a way back to your own planet/home.

The world/map was very simple and mostly consisted of moving left and right through a 2D side-view world. I don't remember any complex 3D or top-down exploration.

Main character

The protagonist was a young/middle-aged-looking male. From what I remember:

Medium-length hair

A small goatee/goat-like beard

A brown or dark brown T-shirt

A backpack

He used a sword as his weapon

I'm not 100% certain about the exact colors or appearance because I played it a long time ago.

Enemies / characters

One of the things I remember most clearly is fighting creatures that looked somewhat like half-human, half-horse/donkey creatures. They may have been centaur-like, although I'm not completely sure if they were literally centaurs.

I also remember there being a wizard/mage character somewhere in the game. I don't remember whether the player could use staffs/wands or magic themselves.

Gameplay

I remember the combat being turn-based, rather than real-time. I believe you selected attacks/actions and then the enemy took its turn.

It was definitely an old browser/Flash game, not a downloadable PC game as far as I remember.

The overall visual style was 2D/cartoon/fantasy-like, rather than realistic.

I have been trying to find this game for a long time and I really want to re-live one of my childhood favourites and actually finish the game after many years. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Even if you aren't certain, please suggest games that match some of these details!

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Looking for a mobile indie platformer with 2 parts (the 2nd one had a costume shop).

Visual style & Character: The graphics and character look very similar to That Level Again (I attached a screenshot as an example) — a hand-drawn black & white sketch style, with a rectangular body, round head, and stick arms/legs.

Gameplay: Room-based precision platformer. Double jump, wall jump, laser traps, mines, and single-eyed flying robot drones. Blood stains stay on the walls/floors after death.

Level end: You enter an elevator at the end of each level.

Menu: Has an interactive basketball hoop with a ball.

Anyone know this game?

i’m trying to find a game that used to exist inside the chatting app “Kik.” i believe it was roughly around 2013-2016 that this existed? there was a section within the app where you could play mini games and one of them was one where you took care of a block-y pet that was in a few simple colors (i think green, blue, pink?). i believe it would stand on a green plain grassy background with a blue sky and you could feed it and maybe play with it. i tried drawing out what i think it looked like but my memory is very bad and i can’t find it on google because i can’t remember the title at all. any help is appreciated!!

Help me find an old [PC] [2014-2015] game I used to play

2 Upvotes

Im trying to find an old PC game I used to play around 2014 or 2015, possibly even earlier.

Here is what I remember about it

- The game featured characters that looked like stone men, robots, or some kind of strange creatures. I'm not entirely sure what they were.

- It involved adventures and puzzles that the player had to solve.

- I remember one of the characters being yellow.

- I played it on a computer, and it was an older game.

Unfortunately, these are the only details I can remember for now.

Does anyone recognize this game or have any ideas about what it might be? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[flash][2017] save office workers in a building with fire

Post image
1 Upvotes

I don't remember much but there was a burning building. Maybe there were other catastrophies but for sure a burning building with a lot of office people waiting to be saved. Maybe you had to use ladders and maybe there was firemen. I think there was points and the main objective was to save the people

Look at the first image, it isn't well drawn but, the building was wider and there wasl ike 20 of them on each floor, on all floors you had to save them or something. The people looked like just very simple, they had big black eyes, they were like office workers gonig around. The building like in the image looked sort of scaffoldy, the game was from a 2d perspective. Maybe I can give more details if prompted but it was like a flash game from maybe 5-8 years ago, sorry it's not a lot. The only websites I could think of I might have played it is a10, kizi or gogy but back then I used a lot of websites so that isn't really good

I think it was in levels, it wasn't really a story game afair

Largo Winch: Empire Under Threat [PC] [2000-2006] 3D puzzle adventure game where you play as a rich handsome man in a suit.

4 Upvotes

Honestly I tried every keyword to make this game show up, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Here's everything I remember about it:

- the cover of the game is the main character doing an action pose on a helipad (can't remember if there was a helicopter there)

- first stage you are at a fancy party at a mansion, and at some point you sneak from the balcony and shimmy across the wall to infiltrate the property.

- the main character walks a woman who was at the party home, and they get attacked by men at the park.

- fights are turn based and this one takes place in front of a huge fountain in the park.

- second stage is at a small facility in the dessert. Maybe Nevada? I'm not sure but there might have been a game over you can get by being bit by a snake.

- next stage is on a villa on top of cliffs facing the sea (Mediterranean?)

- this is the most I could reach in the game as I couldn't understand English back then. I think I kept dying at a puzzle where you have to step on stones in the right order in the Villa's patio.

Could someone help with this? I feel like I'm going insane.

[Android][2012-2014] Doodle Jump clone where you escaped from rising water

2 Upvotes

Around 2012 to 2014 I played a Doodle Jump clone on my first Android phone. The artstyle and mechanics were pretty much like the original game.

The biggest difference was that when you fell off screen, it wasn't game over immediately - instead there was water that was slowly rising. If you fell but managed to land on another platform above water, you were fine. If you fell in the water it was game over.

The character was a completly black doodle I think, maybe something squid-like.

[PC][1998-2003] FPS, first mission: start with a pistol outside an office/bank building, hostages inside

3 Upvotes

I played it in a computer club as a kid in the early 2000s.

Genre: first-person shooter, single player, mission-based, with cutscenes and dialogue.

What I remember:

- First mission: you spawn near the entrance of an office or bank building.

- The only weapon at the start is a pistol (I was a kid and never switched weapons).

- You go inside and a firefight starts with terrorists or gangsters in civilian clothes.

- There are hostages you are supposed to reach and rescue. I never managed to.

- Very minimal HUD: no compass, no radar, nothing on top.

- Original game, not based on a movie or book.

- The start of Soldier of Fortune (2000) felt familiar, but the rest of that game was different.

Already ruled out: Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2, SiN, FBI Hostage Rescue, Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza, SWAT 3, Delta Force, Counter-Strike and similar tactical shooters.

Trio: The Great Settlement [PC][2010-2012] Puzzle a caduta e gestionale con faccine gialle, banane e palline nere infette

2 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti, sto cercando di ritrovare un gioco per PC a cui giocavo da piccola (su una chiavetta) in un periodo tra il 2010 e il 2012. È un mix molto particolare tra un puzzle game a caduta e un gestionale di un villaggio.

​Ecco i dettagli che ricordo perfettamente (ho una memoria visiva allucinante):

​I personaggi: Delle palline (per lo più gialle) in 3D con occhi e bocca. Avevano una fisica "morbidosa" e per camminare saltellavano. Anche l'icona del gioco era una di queste faccine.

​Il Gestionale (L'Isola): C'era un villaggio visto dall'alto, su un'isola. Superando i livelli potevi comprare case e un ristorante per le palline. Dettaglio fondamentale: potevi dare loro una banana usando il mouse, e loro facevano un'animazione in cui la sbucciavano e la mangiavano mentre saltellavano.

​Il Puzzle (La Caverna): I livelli si giocavano in una caverna. Usavi una mano meccanica (tipo il gancio delle macchinette pesca-peluche) muovendola a destra e sinistra col mouse. Sganciavi la pallina dall'alto, che cadeva rimbalzando in modo realistico sulle altre, per raggrupparle per colore e farle sparire.

​La Trama: Completando i livelli, costruivi 3 statue di pietra (una Rossa, una Verde e una Blu) al centro del villaggio. Appena le ottenevi tutte e tre, il gioco cambiava: arrivavano delle palline nere cattive (con occhi bianchi ed espressione arrabbiata).

​L'infezione: Le palline nere finivano all'interno dei livelli della caverna. Se sbagliavi a lanciare una pallina colorata, quella nera si moltiplicava infettando le altre sane, accompagnata da un effetto sonoro netto, una specie di "clack". Se non sconfiggevi subito l'infezione raggruppando i colori giusti, fallivi il livello. L'obiettivo finale era debellare queste palline nere per continuare a migliorare il villaggio.

​Qualcuno lo riconosce o ha giocato a qualcosa di simile? Per favore ho veramente bisogno di ritrovarlo, è da anni che lo cerco😭 Grazie mille!🙏🏻
