This game is a sort of first person shooter/horror game with a greyscale colour palette with sharp red highlights. it's set during something like the spanish inquisition? i can't remember
3(or 4?) explorers end up on an island, the map is covered in white fog, you need to cut down plants to get through it, there are buildings from another civilisation, similar to aztec I think? There are enemies(spiders, snakes, etc). It’s a regular spend energy, collect resources, build stuff type of game
I played this game around the late 2010s to early 2020, it was like bitlife, however it lacked character customization, variety in choices, and mostly text based with some illustrations, but I can't confirm that last part. I remember you started the game in early childhood, and I think whichever choices you made could result in your parents getting divorced and you living with either parents. I also remember a part where you can make a friend and somewhere in the storyline there's a chance for him to have cancer and die-- or at least they did somehow in some way. And then there's an ending where you, the character, die when your car falls off a mountain. This is all I really remember; it was a short game with not a whole lot of choices, and I got bored of it quick. Recently I just switched to Android and I've had no luck finding the game on the app store, so I figured I'd come here. I don't believe it had an iOS release. If anyone remembers this game and knows of its name please share it!!
What's the name of the game in playstore where you sail into a island with your teammates and upgrade your character with unique abilities and collect resources like wood and stone with a cart to upgrade your base and destroy the enemy Additional there is a llama you can ride on
i used to play a game on my tablet (android) when i was like 10-13, im 18 now. it was a gas station and there would come cars from 08:00 till 18:00, they would wait at parking spots and you’d have to direct then to what they needed; there were 3 gas pumps (you would start with one and buy the other 2 later on), car wash, restaurant, mechanic shop and a place to pimp the car. when the cars were waiting for too long they would get angry (showed with an🤬emoji) and leave. i would describe the graphics as cartoon-ish. also the gas pumps were yellow, the car wash was blue, the mechanic shop was red and the pimping salon was purple. i really hope someone knows the game and i hope it’s still available in the app store because i want to play it again.
The logo was 3 cubes in a stair like pattern with 2 on the bottom and 1 on the top the game didnt have crafting or tools, used to crash a lot but had cherry trees. That is as far as i can remember.
Hellow new on reddit.What's the name of the game in playstore where you sail into a island with your teammates and upgrade your character with unique abilities and collect resources like wood and stone to upgrade your base and destroy the enemy Additional there is a llama you can ride on
I have no idea what it's called, it kind of reminded me of like a new hybrid between asteroids and galaga. I think it may have been produced by Capcom. Modern graphics but that's all the info I have.
Platform: Mobile, Tablet
Graphics/Art Style: A 3d game, constant rain and mist and dark, with pale monsters with bloodied claws, somehow gothic style
Genre: Horror endless runner (not 3 way one)
Characters: A topless guy in red pants who carries a injured woman with a gun, also in red dress
Player controls two people and must stay at buildings rooftops to evade and shoot eldritch monsters that hunt you down, pick artefacts to boost score, dmg, speed etc. and fight bosses. For example one boss was very huge and carried roof of some museums like a shell, and wears cracked statue face as a mask that hides his big yellow eyes and tentacles
platform:mobile
Genre:board game?
Estimated time of release:no later than 2010s

Other details:i remember animals and runes on a board. I also remember a moai noise that oompaville used sometimes.
Genre:nanogram / estimated release date:2005-2014? / art style:generic 3d art style that kind of reminds me of spore a little bit / graphics:decent-ish considering the estimated time frame / characters:I remember there being some sort of homeworld that also served as a level select screen and there was these aliens that would be scattered about the level select screen and would laugh and scream / notable gameplay features:what you would expect for a generic puzzle game / setting: I remember the game taking place on mars maybe? But I honestly have no clue. Thanks!
I dont remember much but i remember playing a game on my uncle's pc in somewhere 2019 to 2020 where the game is very dark (not like dark but the lighting was dark)and it had a character who was wearing swat armour ( i think ) i dont remember any enemies but i remember theres an objective to kill something. Similar to the Roblox game "Stalker".
Platform(s): PC, WildTangent
Genre: 2D Sidescroller/Platformer
Estimated year of release: Early/Mid 2000s
Graphics/art style: Entirely 2D, kind of a cartoony artstyle. I believe the opening cutscene used a comic panel format. From what I remember, the game took place in a mad scientist's lab, and I think the enemies were either generic monsters or generic robots.
Notable characters: You play as a little kid, I'm 90% sure his name was either Andre or Andrew. I think at the start of the game he was talking to a scientist for some reason, and he either let something out or got transported to another place.
Notable gameplay mechanics: Andre only moves using a skateboard. I remember it had a lot of platforming, you might have been able to jump on enemies, definitely some puzzle solving
Other details: I know that there's a flash game called Andre's Adventure, and that's definitely not what I played. This was something I downloaded from WildTangent as a kid.
It’s a PlayStation 3 or 2 game; I’m not sure which. It’s a racing game with a realistic art style. The most important thing I remember about the game is that you can destroy your own vehicle, and a bike will come out of it, allowing you to continue as a bike. This also happens automatically when your health gets low and your car is destroyed. However, if you explode as a bike, you die and lose.
Platform: PS1
Genre: 2d Action sidescroller
Year: early 2000
Graphics/ artsyle: Bright, flashy futuristic.
Notable characters: the protagonist was a white dark haired man. Pointy hair and if I remember correctly had a robot/special ability in his arm. The enemies were aliens of some sort with green skin if I'm not mistaken
Gameplay: I remember that you could cast a sort of blue laser with your robot arm, that let you grab things and move them from afar. You could move boxes trip them on enemies and move some enemies themselves.
Other : I remember in one of the early missions (I think mission 3) you could fly your spaceship through a fast 3d environment, kind of like starfox. This however just happened in some missions and was not part of the main gameplay
Platform(s): PC.
Genre: 3rd Person, plataformer, action, Sci-Fi.
Estimated year of release: Between 2000 - 2010.
Graphics/art style: Similar in graphic to "The Matrix" game.
Notable characters: The main character is a scientist that sauffer an accident that give him psyquic powers and amnesia, later the protagonist remembers that he is scientist was contracted by the militia (Maybe USA militia?) in the study of psyquic powers. When this happens his appearance of a simple weakling man change to a man with no hair and even more feble body.
Notable gameplay mechanics: The use of telekinesis to move objects in the way or to make a path. Body possesion or mind manipulation and a psyquic shield to protect you from proyectiles.
Other details: As the game progresses you start to remember more of your past and also you are on a path to seek why this happen to you. Also you gain more powers as you progress, but I dont remember more.
Platform(s): Browser Game, Flash, Web
Genre: Shooting
Estimated year of release: 2008-2013
Graphics/art style: it was black and white/ grayscale, i remember buildings, maybe urban area
Notable characters:

Other details: There was some kind of story setting intro i vaguely remember, it was interesting, maybe the hero was some kind of agent?
Platform(s): Windows(XP i think) Genre: Driving Estimated year of release: Unknown Graphics/art style: More Cartoonish Notable characters: Main Character is a robot on the back of a car and antagonist are i believe Alien pigs Notable gameplay mechanics: Customizable Car Other details: I believe this game is abandonware but I might be wrong
Hi, I am looking for a stick man game that is an endless runner in like a dessert theme (like has a bandana ish or like a turban), there were other games (or mby just one) one of the were that you were a fighter and you hade mini-games to upgrade your skills one of the minigames were that you were supposed to block appeals and let stars hitt you to gain exp. And in the same game, you had a house that you could upgrade. And before the intro would start the armor games intro would play and another intro after that then the game would start.
thx for reading
The only other things i can remember are that its pixel art and if you eat raw ingredients you explode
I'm searching for a game which was basically a maze thing where you had to guide a red ball to a square to complete a level I think, I played it in my grandma's phone (which was a small little phone that didn't even have access to internet I think) The game also had a frutiger aero-esque art style, and I slightly remember there being boost pads.
[Solved] [system shock]
I am looking for a ps1 game were you are in a space ship and fighting a sentient (i believe) computervirus, which you need to defeat to save yourself
I believe it has also gotten a very recent computer remaster
I know it aint much but i cant stop thinking about it. Thanks in advance
It has been lost to time for me and I do not remember it much, i hope I don't forget it completely. I remember it in my youngers years on sites like Y8.com and such. It is an old strategic, stylized, pixel. tower defense game that could be played on browser.
It has the gameplay similar to MaxGames' Siegius, or flash game Warlords: Call To Arms but not too many lanes I suppose.
It has 3 main factions from when I remember it, Crusaders/Knights, Vikings/Barbarians, and Tribals/Aztecs I honestly don't remember too much.
I do remember though is that one of the units has like a thick slingshot on his back or something, like two stick and in between is like a net, and throws projectile likely a boulder from long distances.
I...think there might be special army abilities for each faction and upgrading or unlocking units? Sorry, it's been so long and I'm starting to forget, just trying to piece back whatever I can here.
Some details might be wrong and it might be a whole new different game compared to what I was thinking, hell I am not even sure of the date.
But thanks for at least reading this plight I have with finding my childhood game. I hope you can find it.
Platform(s): PC
Genre: I think it was educational?
Estimated year of release: 90s/early 2000s?
Graphics/art style: 2D
Notable characters: All I can remember is a green crocodile (alligator?dragon?) crying as a cage door slowly falls down trapping him.
Other details: I believe there were several different minigames. There may or may not be a train. This feels like a fever dream. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?!
Thanks in advance!

Notable gameplay mechanics:
Idk
Other details:
It was singing a song about some lamb that had just been born and had an animation of a baby lamb coming out of its mothers vag or something and it was singing about how the lamb had to suck to grow like a redwood tree
I remember that you control a head on this game, bouncing around levels. The color of the head is blue. Also, if you hold your mouse during a level, the head will overdrive. I also remember that the ending is that you attached yourself to your original body and escape.
The music was an important element, and the blocks start falling off screen once too many coins/muchrooms collected.
Platform(s): either nintendo or Playstation
Genre: fighting
Estimated year of release: somewhere after 1997

Other details: the games setting was in the super far future and in the intro it was some aliens I think
