It’s like an interactive Franz Kafka novel, only a lot more enjoyable. World's simplest browser-based utility for splitting text. It’s funny because: it’s a complete deconstruction of video game narrative conventions, allowing the player – as downtrodden office worker Stanley – to disobey and contradict the ongoing voice over exposition. It’s funny because: it’s a brilliant Grand Theft Auto pastiche in which super-cop Chase McCain hunts crime boss Rex Fury through a cavalcade of deconstructed action movie cliches, daft characters and whip-smart one-liners – all of which gleefully whiz over the heads of its younger fans. Released after a series of beautiful family platformers, Rare’s mature-rated masterpiece remains one of the most subversive acts in console game history. It’s funny because: it’s about a foul-mouthed binge-drinking squirrel whose attempts to get home to his girlfriend are continually thwarted by an embittered Prussian weasel. It’s also funny because Swedish developer Coffee Stain Studios made it as a joke and never actually meant to release it, but it did and now more than 2.5 million people have played. It’s funny because: you’re a goat, clip-clopping around a glitchy urban environment ruining barbecues, destroying museums and licking passing trucks. The great thing is that it's pretty easy to get games like this working on mobile (both Star Citadel and Shoot The Rocks do) unlike with Flash.Goat Simulator. Apart from anything else I could at least reuse some of the code from Star Citadel.Īnyway, thanks for posting this great list - plenty of inspiration here to keep on developing with HTML5, JavaScript and CSS. Again, it's an absolute classic of a game - and much more popular - so I thought I'd try my hand at an HTML5 conversion. Actually with Shoot The Rocks it's perhaps a bit more like Asteroids Deluxe, but you get the idea. The second is Shoot The Rocks which, as you can probably guess from the name, is a version of Asteroids. These days it's not a particularly well known game, despite being quite influential back in the day (inspiration for Yars' Revenge on the Atari 2600), and appearing in Ghostbusters. The first is called Star Citadel, which is a version of the old Cinematronics arcade game, Star Castle. Anyway, I feel like I should probably do a bit of self-promotion here because I've built a couple of HTML games too. Some of these are awesome - I've just spent a bit too much time playing a few of them, especially Cube Slam.
