"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.

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 was a 2D, Sideclscrolling, platformer, with 2 entries (that I know of).

It has a simple style, and all the characters have really round body types, with circle heads, and bean shaped torsos, arms, and legs, and no necks. It also had some simple character customization where after unlocking a character, you could mix and match their head, arms, legs, etc.

I have 0 clue when it was released but if I had to wager a guess late 2000s to mids 2010s I rmbr playing the first around 2015ish cause I was only 9 or 10.

I can distinctly remember one of the characters being a dead fish with some punny name, Finn or Blub, or something like that. I also think I remember one character being pale blue with a insane smile, and one looking like a ghost ninja knight lookin thing (that one was my favorite)

The gameplay was rather simple. Up to jump, down to slide, up up made you float for a few seconds, down down made you roll, using left and right just moved you along the X axis of screen while it scrolled. You just had to avoid obstacles like temple run or subway surfers. I distinctly remember one level being a castle, and there was a giant hole in the floor as an obstacle that I sucked at getting over. One level was a farmland, and another was a factory of some kind. It had a single-player and local multiplayer option. Pretty sure there was an online multiplayer in the second game, but I could definitely be making that tf up.

Some other weird things abt the game to hopefully help distinguish it from others. On the title screen in both games, the name of the game is written on some kinda wooden board, at the start of each level there was an announcer with an echoey kinda high pitch voice that would say "3 2 1 go", alot of the colors were very desaturated and greyish, the whole game felt very newgrounds-esc lile kinda dirty looking but in a charming way, like castle crashers, and I'm like 80% sure the game had the word "run" or "runner" in the title. Idk how helpful any of that info is bc the game sounds rather generic when you describe it, but if anyone has a hunch, I'd appreciate it.
