Yummy Drops [FLASH][2000s-2010s] side movement game about catching droplets

Post image
10 Upvotes

Platform(s): PC

Graphics/art style: some cartoon like drawing, objects used to be shiny i think

Notable characters: The main character was a blue blob with eyes, there was some "pets" but i can only remember one that looked like a frog

Notable gameplay mechanics: you move the character to catch droplets that are falling, you could get pets that helped in gameplay and level them up by playing minigames

Other details: in game lore the droplets that you have to catch are some chemicals that a scientist dropped, there was a night background after progressing in the story

i used to play this in kizi.com like 10 years ago but couldn't find something similar in the current page

[Unknown] [2005-2020] A VN (?) about teens fighting something?

7 Upvotes

My memories are very vague because quite frankly I didn't even get to play this game back in the day. I found numerous videos of this game on YT back then, somehow I think it was a VN with anime style visuals.

Overall vibes were grim, dark, bloody and tragic, lots of deaths and wounds, I think different teen-looking characters were fightning something or someone, maybe kaiju or other big creatures, maybe not. It was a pretty long and niche game, I think I've stumbled upon it about 8-10 years ago.

I think spiritually it was close to Fate series if we consider complexity, it was a very long game, probably with numerous routes. I've remembered about it because I've recently watched a Danganronpa "100% playthrough", and idk why but Steins;Gate 0 also comes to mind. And I think the cast was predominantly young, like 12-14 maybe 16 years old looking characters, and they had like death battles or something. I know this is all very vague but if someone gets this game I'd be very grateful, I mean, it would be something like pure magic.

Thingdom [Flash][2008-2012ish?] Flash game about evolving blobs

8 Upvotes

I have been looking for this game for years and have found absolutely no leads on it. I think I used to play it on Friv as a kid, but I feel like I'm just gaslighting myself to think that at this point. It was this flash game with a minimalistic art style that mainly used relatively desaturated colours, and if I'm remembering right it was supposed to teach you about evolution or something? Like you'd play as these little blobs and then you'd choose another blob with different features and your baby blob would have a combination of those features??? I feel like I am going insane

[Mobile][2016] What is this mobile game I used to play?

Post image
5 Upvotes

This is pretty vague, and I'm not sure anyone will get it but I used to play a game a lot that I think was an educational puzzle game, I'm pretty sure you were a block sort of creature that looked kind of like the Blooket blocks. The only things I mainly remember about it is there was a level builder than turned the background into a gridded blueprint, and you could place blocks. The only books I remember is that there was Lava and a block that was a cracker that you had to eat through to get to the other side. (The character you could play as was more colorful, but I just did a random color)

[PC][Unknown] Eroge with battle brothers mechanics NSFW

6 Upvotes

My friend was talking about an eroge he played back in the day that had similar mechanics to battle brothers. Apparently he found it on either otomi of ryuugames, there wasnt a translated version so it was fully jp and he says hes sure there wasnt any lolis there (as far as he had gotten). The game was set in like the samurai era of Japan.

ps he said its not sengoku rance

[PC][2009] Old text-based MMO/MUD

6 Upvotes

There was a browser mmo I used I play as a kid, it had a medieval-esque feel to it. It was grid-based maps with your character moving from tile to tile on the map, and moving to specific tiles gave the option to move maps. If another player was on that tile, you could examine, message or (I think) fight them. Equipment layout was the old-style character outline drawn, and you move equipment to that outline. I don't exactly recall the first map, but I believe it was a sewer, because it was full of rats to grind. The second map was a snowy mountain, and was full of mountain lions. The combat was generated text of actions and reactions; if anyone's played thewrestlinggame (especially older versions), it's the exact same setup. you on the left, text generating in the middle, enemy on the right. It was very stat based, and very grindy. I only really remember the first two maps, and don't know of the social/political nature of the game. Likely older than the date listed, but that's when I likely played it.

Unfortunately, I may have just described 90% of MUDs, so nw if it's a toss-up

I played this game I think in 2021 or 2022 not sure. It's a dressup game. I only remember the girl she was wearing a red jumpsuit If I remember correctly. Animated style but the movements were smooth. But not the shining nikki art style. Maybe the name starts with letter G?? I don't know 😭😭😭 there was levels. The girl was in the game icon. It was on playstore. I'm an Android user. My mind says the name was like glam or glow or something. Not the glammd game. I searched it up and that's not the one. Plz help me to find it. I only remember the red jumpsuit. It gaves themes to dressup. She was standing on the side when we dress her up. The game icon was similar to time princess pearl girl game icon if I remember correctly. ( The 1st one I attached ) Maybe the same pose??? Plz help me. The art style is similar to the 2nd picture I attached.

[TV] [2024] creepy point and click game with some kind of live furniture (?)

3 Upvotes

about maybe two years ago, I remember playing this kinda creepy point and click game that reminded me a bit of Machinarium, but not at all. in one section, it hqd some kind of floating jellyfish that would electrocute the character you played as (a boy with brown hair), and in another it would have these almost benches or tables that were normal in the light, but turned into some kind of dog or beast in the dark. the title could have been something like Creed or Creeds, but I tried to search that up and didn’t find anything

Let's Pretend! Volume 2: Space Is Our Playground! [PC][late 90s, early 2000s] solar system trip game

3 Upvotes

Ive been trying dig up an old game i remember playing back around elementary school. It was like a guided tour of the solar system planets with information, like an edutainment game. You went to each planet with some kind of....cricket mascot thing. There were things to click on like a Humongous Entertainment game, and theyd show silly things i later understood as references. Each planet had a screen to interact with and aliens and stuff doing stuff. I dont remember how you actually progressed in the game.

I remember at Mercury someone was sunbathing because it was so hot. And there was some sort of track and field thing on Venus was happening but idr why. At one point the guy cricket thing floats across the screen slowly as it played like a midi Blue Danube waltz...years before i heard of 2001 A Space Odyssey.

I remember it being long (for a kid) and never finishing it?

The only thing that makes me think it was real and not some hallucinated memory or dream is it was filled with star trek sound effects, and watching TOS keeps reminding me of this game. Things like the door opening sounds or the flashing lights and things. Star Trek wasnt a thing anyone in my family or close to me watched at the time.

Bonelords [PC][2020s] 2d game where you defend waves of enemies with live action cutscenes of guys in wizard outfits

4 Upvotes

Looked kinda like Terraria (but without the mining), but the most defining feature was the guys in wizard costumes doing live action cutscenes, otherwise it was a 2d pixel graphics game where you fended off waves of enemies using various weapons, you could build walls and defenses, and I think k bones were important as currency or something?

[PC][Unknown] First-person point and click, woman gets a phone call then goes into a big modern building with elevators

3 Upvotes

Platform(s): PC, I played it on Windows XP around 2009-2014, but it could be older.

Genre: First-person point and click puzzle game with an inventory. Not a hidden object game.

Estimated year of release: no idea

Graphics/art style: still screens you click through, looked realistic (maybe pre-rendered, I'm not sure they were photos). Everything inside was bright, a lot of white.

Notable characters: The main character was a woman and I remember a female voice talking during the game, like to herself. I barely remember seeing any other characters.

Notable gameplay mechanics: You pick stuff up into an inventory bar and use it on things or combine items. You moved up through the building with elevators, a bit like floor by floor.

Other details: this was a long time ago so some of it might be mixed up. I think there was a phone call at the start and then she went to the building (hotel? office? tower?). At some point an alarm went off, the music got tense and metal bars dropped over the doors. I think I needed wire cutters for that. Later I remember unscrewing a vent to get onto the roof. Early on there was something with vases or gems too. It didn't feel like a horror game.

I already checked these and they're not it: Master Thief: Skyscraper Sting, 3 Days: Zoo Mystery, Rhianna Ford & the Da Vinci Letter, Nancy Drew (Treasure in the Royal Tower, The Final Scene, Stay Tuned for Danger), Carol Reed games, The Fall Trilogy Ch. 2, Dark Fall: The Journal, Drawn: The Painted Tower, Traitors Gate.

Thanks for any ideas!

[Nintendo DS] [2005-2008?] cozy pastel carnival game with animals

3 Upvotes

Platform(s): Nintendo DS

Genre: kids game (iirc)

Estimated year of release: around 2005-2008 i believe? im not quite sure.

Graphics/art style: 2D (it was an isometric 2D game, if im not mistaken?), bright/pastel colors, small cartoony animals of various colours

Notable characters: n/a , it was all just random animals.

Notable gameplay mechanics: the game took place in a carnival, where you could play different simple minigames in different tents. you could buy/sell(?) tickets. all animals (or i think it was just the player?) had stars as their transport that they moved around on, sitting.

Other details: the game im trying to find is NOT any of the following: "Carnival Games", "Party Carnival", "I Spy Funhouse", "Six Flags Fun Park" or "Viva Piñata". i checked!

i faintly remember playing this game from a 300+ games cartridge i used to have for my DS, back in 2019-2020 iirc. the cartridge. I saw this post that i believe was looking for the same game im describing, but got no responses.

this is my first post ever so i'm sorry if it doesn't make much sense </3 i would heavily appreciate it if you could help me find it! thank you in advance!

I don't remember anything about the game aside from the soundtrack sounding very, VERY similar to C418 Mice on Venus from Minecraft.

I vaguely remember the game having a Light/Dark theme with good and evil but even that I'm not 100% sure on.

[Mac][mid to late 1990s] Conservation/Zoology game

3 Upvotes

I used to play this game a lot where every continent had like a different fake safari that were really just slideshows narrated by different voice actors. There might have been some point and click aspects, but I don't remember. I think the World Wildlife Fund was involved with it and at some point it had the footage of the last living thylacine.

Does anyone have any idea? I would have been playing this on a Mac in the mid to late 1990s. I don't think it is related to the Eyewitness Virtual Reality series.

Takeover [PC][Flash][2010s]Fantasy RTS I think it was in Y8 with capture points?

3 Upvotes

There were different factions that were available to play. I can't remember if there was an undead faction. But I clearly remember there was a spell that summoned like... Sandworms that would deal continuous damage to a target settlement. I think there were 3 playable factions. Knights and good guys, the undead, and barbarians? I think there was a campaign for all 3 factions. I think the good guy faction had trebuchets.

I may be misremembering some stuff. But yeah that's what I remember.

R-Type Final [Xbox?][2005?] side scrolling spaceship game

3 Upvotes

In the 2000s I'd go to my family friend's house and play this spaceship game on either his Xbox or GameCube? I don't think it was PlayStation. It was a side scrolling shooting air/space-craft game where you explored different planet areas for each level, and you unlocked new ship upgrades. I remember one of my favorite upgrades was a little ball that would travel with you and shoot with you. I also remember some bosses like this alien thing made of ball arms that would hit you and you had to keep shooting the arm segments off until you killed it. It was very grunge/almost steam punk/realistic. Not pixelated.

I for the life of me cannot find any proof it existed. Help??

Windosill [FLASH][2012-2019] Escape room-type puzzle game?

3 Upvotes

EDIT: Solved!! I dug a lot harder and found it on my own, just had to change my search wording. It was Windosill by Vectorpark

Platform(s): Browser, it was just a flash game on some game website when I was little.

Genre: Puzzle rooms, kind of like escape rooms.

Estimated year of release: I have no idea outside of the time frame of 2012-2019, it was roughly over a decade ago when I played it...

Graphics/art style: Flat, almost polygon looking with solid colors, not pixelated.

Notable characters: It had no characters but one level I distinctly remember had some kind of...little bird head thing? And to complete the puzzle, you had to feed it a worm.

Notable gameplay mechanics: I think the goal was to roll a little wagon or cart from one door to the next, but there were puzzles you needed to solve in order for the next door to open. It was left to right.

Other details: I do remember that the game had sound effects, but no soundtrack. It had a good handful of levels too, and I think the creator also had other games too? I think one either about feeding fish or feeding some kind of bird thing? I'd love to find the games creator so I can find those too, but I'm not 100% certain those other games were from the same person...

[PC][2023] Some kind of RPG I saw, that apparently had a layered armor system.

3 Upvotes

Platform(s):PC

Genre:RPG

Estimated year of release: 2023

Graphics/art style: Cartoony(i think?)

Notable characters: Unsure

Notable gameplay mechanics: The description on Steam mentioned something about realistic layered armor

Other details: It seemed to be riffing off Baldur's Gate 3, in some way.

I remember at one point, after cluelessly blundering my way into an unwanted romantic subplot in BG3, searching around the steam page in frustration, and I saw what looked like some kind of parody of BG3. I don't remember much more detail, but it's been bothering me all day.

Hope you can help, it's driving me mad.

EDIT: I don't know if it'll help, but one of the reasons it got stuck in my mind is it didn't look like the kind of game that would have armor work like that.

[Unknown Platform(PC?)][90s-2000s] Point and click horror game with kid melting into floor

3 Upvotes

So I saw a tweet from one of the devs in New Blood Interactive a while ago about a point and click game that I wanted to look at but I can't find it or the tweet.

Basically, the video showed a first person perspective of a character walking under a bridge (walking bridge I think) and find a blonde (I think) kid underneath it. Upon approach, said kid started melting into the ground, and started twisting after a second then disappearing. The game didn't even address what happened and moved on.

It had visuals reminiscent of Sagan Hawkes' video about a fictional game, Escape: Triassic Hall and I believe that it was a horror game. I appreciate anything you guys find

Edit: It wasn’t a new blood game to my knowledge, just something one of them was talking about.
