Hi,

Thanks for the favourable review of Scarygirl. I realise this was posted a LONG time ago but thought I’d give a quick reply anyway.

Most of the bugs that existed have now been fixed, though a very small number (ones that are hard to reproduce, only happen to some people, might still be there).

For those that have the Flash 10 player there is now a full screen option (can only use arrow keys and space when in full screen mode though).

A quick note on it being “just old school platformy”. I think we were aiming for that in a way. Some of our fondest memories playing games were in the Mario/Sonic error and I think there can still be joy had for people from that, either from nostalgia or just plain good simple fun. We did add a lot of other kinds of gameplay in there as well though. At least a third of the game is played in different play styles, and levels can be accessed directly if you want to “cheat”. I do realise that it is our “fault” for not giving the user an experience of these different play styles until the fourth level (a master-mind style puzzle game) and it’s sad that some people didn’t make it past the third to really start getting into the game.

For anyone who wants to try some of the other “game styles” in there (there’s more as well) here’s some direct links.

http://scarygirl.com/world.php?level=tok (3D boss fight)
http://scarygirl.com/world.php?level=chihoohoo (Street Fighter-esque fun)
http://scarygirl.com/world.php?level=citybad (Platformer, but now you’ve got a gun!)

Anyway, hope you go back and give it another try. Would love more feedback from people.

[...] web browser because it was built on the Unity engine, the same one used by Blurst, developers of Paper Moon. Like a lot of Unity stuff, Team Shotgun opted for a semi-cel-shaded look, and as you can see [...]

Oh yeah, Text Twist is crazy awesome. Unfortunately the iPhone version of the game is completely different. Well, not completely different…but they shouldn’t have changed the formula.

I’m rather surprised. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari should immediately come to everyone’s mind as the best browser game ever. It wins by theme alone, but wins even harder because of the skill and timing required to nail that multi-raptor teleporting combo.

You know, if spewer’s too slow for you you can always download it:

Despite spewer’s famous creator, and despite the fact that it’s a partical based physics platformer (which is cool) I’m gonna have to go with paper moon this week. Most because I’m a sucker for red/blue 3D and I think more games need them. I’m real disappointed that they took that feature out of the update, and I hope they put it back.
