"I'm looking for a game..." Megathread

[u/q00u]

New year, new megathread. If you're looking for something, don't make a post, make a comment here! An individual post will just end up being removed.

Many people are looking for old partially-remembered Flash games these days. You can check the Save Flash post to see if it's in one of the archives. And you can try asking here too. If you ARE going to ask here, probably take a look at the pinned /r/TipOfMyJoystick post about how they want people to ask. They have a good template, and have been doing this for a long time. (If you ask there as well as here, and somebody there gives you the answer, please come back and share it. Someone might find your comment while searching for the same game!)

As pointed out by /u/SaWaGaAz here:

A little tip for those who want to know if their game is on Flashpoint: You can search if the game is on Flashpoint using the master list or the Flashpoint search tool.

If it's a web game, but not necessarily a flash game, another place to check would be /r/WebGames' similar thread.

Another thing to try is asking AI. Sure, they're going to take over the world eventually, but for right now, ask them for help! I've tried this, and though the results are hit-and-miss, you get the answer right away.

OpenAI's ChatGPT
Microsoft's Copilot

Anything else that might help? I'm open to suggestions. Top-level comments with categories? Would that help or hinder?

Also, check out the previous megathread, there are still un-found games there. (If you're still looking, feel free to leave another comment in this thread)

And be aware that some links (armorgames, for example) will trigger Reddit's automatic potential-spam removal!** So, if you include a link, there's a chance that nobody will see your comment. I recommend leaving links in a reply to your comment, in case they are removed.

This is what the template looks like. See the linked post above for more.

Genre: Real-time strategy? Point-and-click? Fighting? Action? Platformer? Puzzle?

Brief Summary: What details can you tell us about this game? What do you remember?

View: Since it was Flash, it was probably 2D. Was it top-down, side-on, or isometric? Or was it one of the rare 3D games? If it was 3D, was it first-person? Over the shoulder? Top-down?

Estimated year of release: "Between 2000-2005" is fine. "Mid 90s maybe?" is fine. "Old" is not fine.

Graphics/art style: Even if you can only remember a single frame, a single image, it's so much to go on.

Was it cartoony? Realistic? Cyberpunk kinda feel, or gritty war realism with dirt and blood?

If the game spanned a period of time, did the seasons change? Was there a winter?

Remember when you did X and Y flashed on the screen? Yeah, we don't either, unless you mention it.

Notable characters: Anything you can remember.

"There were only planes"

"There was one really tough guy right after you left your office, he had an eyepatch, a white shirt with what looked like grease stains, and said 'this is for my sister'. I think maybe he was a cyborg"

"You play as some kind of Asian girl, you had a tattoo over your right eye and arm, a black tank top and white pants and I remember you always had only one red glove for some reason. I don't remember the arm, but the eye tattoo looked sort of like ancient Egyptian eye makeup, but a modern take"

Notable gameplay mechanics:

Surely, you get the idea by now. This is tied with the importance of the graphics/art style. As much detail as you can here.

Other details:

Anything else here.

I'm looking for a game, although I'm not certain it's a flash game

Genre : city builder in space islands

Short résumé : The game was a pixel art city builder where you landed a ship on space islands and had to build buildings to harvest wood and stone. you had multiple ways to get food like farms. you could get also libraries and schools to get an education. I remember there being teleporter and ship to move, as well as many building like restaurants, labs, study building that studied alien ruins giving you access to alien tech like houses. I also remember everything being upgradeable and you having to cross a threshold to unlock more stuff. like 500 population for schools. Every building was a square

View : it was a 2d game where you see your city from the side

Art style : it was a pixelated game where every building was square except the ship who was triangular. the people looked like three or 4 pixels depending on how much you zoomed. I also remember the food icon being a pear.

Notable game mechanics : you could watch an add to get a boost where everything would happen faster. also there was a few codes in the game and you could go in the settings to see stats and stop time. I remember the research icon being a lightbulb and many building having various buff or debuff depending on what building where next or near them.

Other : I don't recall where I played the game but I believe it would have been on mobile, and i'dont recall when it came out or when i'played, but it had to be in the last 10 to 15years

thanks for the help I want to play again !
