The player is a skeleton wearing a green hoodie who dies because of a food allergy at a picnic (I think it was a plum allergy?) and wants to save/find his best friend. For some reason I also remember that at the start of the game you pick up a chunk of pyrite. I think the player eventually makes it to a Halloween party, but that's about all I'm mostly sure of.
I remember watching the first part of a playthrough of it around 2016 on Halloween.
A game where you have a food truck and you sell to monsters and the items were like human fingers.
There whas a game I played as a kid that whas a big part of my childhood is whas a first person shoot. There are a few main things I remember it whas a 5v5 or 6v6 it wasn't like one team plants the bome and the other try to stop them. It whas like a team death match way team could get the most point in 7 minutes I think that was the time. The main thing I remember is a gun skin and a map there whas a gold tiger skin for a gun like the one in call of duty for black ops 6.but the main thing is the map wich whas Japan them
I couldn't really remember what the game is like, but think of it as something similar to Cell Expansion Wars. In the game, you start with one territory, and the goal is to take all the enemy's territory. There are levels, but I don't remember how many. You may also encounter 2 or 3 enemy bots also trying to achieve the same goal. Here in the game, you can upgrade your territory to produce more units to get more territories as well as attacking enemy territories, somewhat like Auralux. The design is kinda simple, where the territories are mostly black circles, and each player has its own color. The game also includes a Level Generator, where you can set the size of the level, and if I'm not mistaken, the difficulty of that level. I have provided an image of the design of the game that I remember. And no, it's not Eufloria or Microcosmum. It's something similar to Cell Expansion Wars.
[Computer][2014-2017s era]Downloadable file game: It’s a fighting game about a campaign and sandbox mode , it’s camera is also like the first Mario game , you play as anything , you can customize your own avatar to fight computers or your friends with , not a browser but downloadable game by armor games , their logo at the time was the 2008-2011 version ,it was so fun cuz you could break wooden crates to get a random weapon and it had a live system like you could have 6 hearts kind of thing , and you could use the map like one level even is a laboratory that has a laser and minigun on the wall you could use , you can 1v1 the other person on the computer cuz there could be 2 characters and 1 used WASD the other had arrow keys movement , you could also click the down/crouch button midair to slam and do dmg, and if you used it on the ground you activated your blue shield that protected you from everything and you could use it every time but it had a cooldown (almost forgot to mention you have like a max up system and if that up went down you would lose 1 life like a boss going to phase 2 but without any buffs on the second life)
...where you play as a person in a blocky world, finding portals and automated crossbows to defend your base. The logo of the game was a shovel and pickaxe in an X formation.
the name of the game is iris from what i remember? it was basically like u found the phone of some girl and the knock of siri says something at the start of the game "i dont recognise you" or something like that. i also remember u had to put in a password of some folder in the gallery??anyways at the end i think the girl d13d.there was multiple endings from what i remember but im not TOO sure about that. it was popular even markeplier played it?? i cant really remember correctly.
The game worked like angry birds, where you shoot the bugs out into an exit in the box. It was a puzzle game with different levels, and as you progress you unlock bugs with different powers (there was a roly poly bug which when you shoot it it would curl up and that would be used to solve some puzzles in the level)
I'm kind of sure that the word "bugs" was in the game's title, and iirc the game icon was the OG bug u use in level 1 and the bug was green and had big cartoony eyes.

Okay guys, in general, this topic originated during our conversation with a friend at discord, where I remembered this very interesting thing. I remember even watching videos about her at the time, and about creepies about her.
In general, this is a game by a Japanese developer with all the visual and musical components, the game itself is like a maze in which bright acid walls, grass at the bottom, sky at the top, as far as I remember, there seemed to be a rainbow. The color scheme of this game is bright, acidic, and generally colorful. Her music is ambient, and abstract. In general, I hope I'm not schizophrenic). I will be grateful for your feedback :з
Trying to find the game where 2 bears (male and female) explored a castle. There were also dinosaurs. At one point, a haunted suit of armour chased them down the hallway (used to scare me!) year- early to mid 90s I am guessing?
Unfortunately i dont remember too much about this game. As far as i can tell it used to be turn based combat like pokemon. It was in also the pixelated style of the older pokemon games.
I think at the start you played as Gohan and the only thing I truly remember is that Nappa turned super sajyan after you defeated him.
I am pretty sure it was a fan made game and thats the reason why i can’t find it anymore. But its worth trying it here.
Platform(s): iPhone & possibly iPad
Genre: puzzle, maze, art,
Estimated year of release: late 2000s early 2010s?
Graphics/art style: pixelated, muted tones and colors
Notable characters: beetle/ sand beetle?? Idk 😭
Other: I remember you’re a TINY beetle and through a maze/ map of some sort you slowly fill in a large picture, I played it as a child and know I was definitely playing it wrong so I’m not quite sure on a lot of details. I just remember it being relaxing and satisfying to finish a picture
As a young kid (26 now) i was way into videogames and would occasionally play some strange ones on my Grandmothers computer. One of them that I played often was (i think) a web browser game that didnt need to be downloaded set in a cozy, 3D rendered swamp-ish environment where the only gameplay was to hit a baseball as far as possible and your camera would follow it until it stopped moving.
I vaguely remember the batter to be a silly looking Ogre, but vividly remember that the balls would interract with a modeled enviornment, and every ball that every player hit was tracked and placed in the game world as a form of leaderboard. I remember once hitting the ball so well that it bounced and flew past everything until it fell into this vast valley of baseballs, that i assume had been hit past the 3d modeled stuff and was in what i called the "home run" zone, and it was for some reason incredibly creepy to land your ball inside of.
There were literally thousands and thousands of balls so the game must have had a wave of players at one time, but i have failed to find a google search that brings me to this elusive childhood memory
In college, there was this one game that spread faster than zombies on my college campus in Charlotte, North Carolina. All my gamer buddies were playing it and so was I. I just can't remember the name and I've tried so hard to find it. Maybe you fine folks can help:
It was a pixel zombie game. Not pixel art, just pixels. Humans were pink pixels, zombies were green pixels. The humans moved semi-randomly around a map that was nothing but a collection of slightly larger squares connected by "bridges" in random patterns.
At the start, there would be 2-3 zombies randomly on the map, and they would go for the nearest human, infecting them the instant they touched. In this way, the zombies would spread like wildfire around the map. It probably took less than a minute for all the humans to get infected if you did nothing.
The score of the game was a percentage of how many humans remained after you eliminated the zombies. To do that, you could drop "bombs" by clicking. You could drop bombs as fast as you could click, and there was no penalty for using them.
I've looked for it many times over the years, but even AI can't help me find it. So I turn to you. At this point, I could easily code the game myself but I don't want to do that because it's someone else's game.
Ive played so much a game in a think around 2014 and it was an rpg pixel gacha game that probably shut down. The things i remember of the game is that it had a story and boss battles, you had to create a team with a leader and as far as i remember the main character was a green haired boy with a sword and a red haired boy and you could put em as a leader in the team, they were like mini characters. You had to summon characters and everyone had a different rarity like rainbow rarity if im not wrong. One thing that im not very sure about it is that in the game name it had "RPG" in.
This is NOT survival craft but I do amit they are similiar in a few ways.
Now listen, these might be two seperate games because I played a lot of these but here is what I remember.
The game used to have a creative and a survival mode. Survival mode was obviously like Miencraft's! however I am pretty sure you used to spawn in snow (at least most of the time), the only structures I remember are some ruins you would find around the world, and MAYBE some sort of empty houses? I also remember the game being REALLY difficult, and also had clunky controls which made it even harder.
And this light just be another game but I think it had palm trees next to beaches?
Now in creative, I think the world was the same. I don't think you could fly? I could be wrong though. You had an inventory with infinite blocks kinda like Minecraft. I think there were way more ores though, as I think there were red and purple tools? Maybe even more colors.
If you have any more questions, ask and I might just remember something.
Ok, I just remembered this DS game I played on an R4 a while back. I'm reciting tjis all from memory, so forgive me.You control only one character, you can choose between brown or blue clothes. The game starts off with your character witnessing their family and old way of life was destroyed by a volcano or some other natural disaster, washing up on another island and becoming part of another village. The village chief is apparently sick so his advisor(?) is filling in for him. The advisor(?) is obviosly corrupt and demands fancy and expansive things like whalebone cutlery and other expensive things that the village can barely provide. You can take a personality quiz and choose what kind of animal you like the most (wolf or cat) and you can hunt and collect furs, herbs and other resources. You can play a mini game to learn how to make medicine with herbs, tan hides using bonemeal, and other jobs. I can't remember the name of the game and want to play it again.
I have dug and dug for this old game I had for NES in the early 90's to no avail.. It started with a title sequence of a village town surrounded by hilly/mountainous forests, then a dark castle tower like structure rises up out of the ground just outside town. It had a dialog to the effect of it being an evil place of legend and whoever was behind it needed to be defeated to stop the spread of darkness over the world..
Gameplay looked similar to The Immortal, top down kinda from the side slightly. Combat was a clunky mix of action and turn based using hit points and blocking(it said "parried" if I remember correctly). You used various melee weapons you'd find throughout the rooms and from enemies, most of those were various monsters.. Basic goal was fight through the different floors of the tower up to the top for the final boss.. never got that far as a kid so no clue what it was, I want to say it was an evil sorcerer from the games dialog but hard to remember after 30yrs:/
Anyway, if anyone happens to know this seemingly really obscure title I'd be beyond appreciative, thanks in advance to everyone for your time!
[Disclaimer: My English is not very good so please bare with me here]
I remember this game looking like silent hill but it's an 'escape room' typa game..where you click on stuff and it opens and you find thing that will help you leave the room and move on to other levels.
I remember it being a haunted house it looked pink? Purple?? Idk i forgot, this was around 2011-2015 (I'm also not sure) but it looks like silent hill so yeah
Anywho, one thing i remember tho, is the kitchen level, it was messy and the cabinets would occasionally open, supposedly to scare the players...
The lighting was dim (and sometimes flickering)and the cabinets are kinda falling, I was a kid back then so i really didn't know how to play, so i just clicked with whatever, there was a jumpscare tho...i forgot what it looked like but i think it was a ghost lady but it only pops up once in a while...
Also additional detail bc i remembered while typing this, the tiles where checkered black and white..
That's all, I'd very much appreciate it if someone can help me find this game... I've been looking for a very long time now
Thank you in advance:D
Genre: TPS ONLINE
Release: around 2013 last time I played would be around 2014-15
Gameplay and Graphics/art style: like Zombies Monsters Robots, korean fps games characters
It was like any FPS asian type but in third person, it had an people vs monster mode like "Sudden Attack" with the vempires but monsters, i remember a map old west type also some use of helicopter vehicle type i think.
it wasnt Point Blank, Crossfire.
HELP AND THANKYOU.
So its a 1v1 and there are multiple walls the players run to. You have to catch the opposing peeking and then snipe them. You and the opposing player can send out troops to distract and potentially damage the other player, there are grenades and other type of damage factors. The characters are blocky and you can unlock a variety of characters. Someone please help this game is a core memory!
Platform(s): PC, Windows XP
Genre: Racing? (I don't remember if there were any opponents)
Estimated year of release: I don't know, but I played it between 2004 - 2006 which were the periods where I didn't had internet
Graphics/art style: The game was pretty much a demo, it had some slopes made with some 3d polygons but with a green texture
Notable characters: The guy in the bike? I don't know, I'm sorry
Notable gameplay mechanics: You could free roam the green space
Other details: I know this is pretty vague because of the lack of information, so that's why I think it was a demo, it was probably preinstalled on our family shared computer back then, maybe it was something that came with the PC from the manufacturer (which it was Olidata, I remember it well), I also remember opening it and it being a white full screen window but with the game being a square in the middle, I remember that it had some loud music and that I ran horribly on our computer.
I've had this game in my mind for years and I can't seem to find it because of the nature of it, I'll post it here if someone can help me find it.
I’m looking for a PC point-and-click game with a visual style similar to Who’s Lila?—black and white, surreal, and eerie. I believe it’s set in medieval times, with the player controlling a knight or a similar character, and I think the name of the game is like a name maybe a Slavic one but I don’t know, I remember it’s only 1 word . Does anyone know the name of this game?
There was this old game on App store in which you needed to tap on neon bars to break them from top to bottom, it was a puzzle game with levels
Anyone has any clue what it was called?
