Kick Ass [Online]
This is a first here at onevideogameaday.com, a bookmarklet game!.
Kick Ass is an asteroid type of game for your favorite browser, where you destroy any website pixel by pixel by moving the ship with the keyboard and firing away with the spacebar.
I’m quite impressed with the ability of shooting every tag and element from a website with such precision, congrats to the programmers.

The Company of Myself [Online]
It’s nice to read an introduction text on a Flash game.
This a plataformer where you can clone yourself (or myself) in order to advance the rooms. The hint system is great. The character tells you what he did, so you do it. Simple ha? and it works gerat, it’s natural and seamless. I wish more games had hint systems or tutorials like this (or something similar).
The game gets pretty...

Feign [Online]
Get ready to get lost in Feign, a first person maze game.
You have to find nine missing people, walking with the WASD keys and turning with the arrow keys. I really wish they had implement a mouse here, it would be much comfortable.
Controls aside, this is a great atmospheric game. The music and art style will suck you in, and you’ll be wondering around those corridors for a while.

Garden Gnome Carnage [Online]
In this defense game you have to stop the gnomes from getting to the chimney. How?, by moving the building of course!. The green gnome will swing and it’ll send away every little red gnome he encounters.
You can pick bricks also, and throw them so they explode!.
Remember to play this game in Christmas.

Robichai [Online]
In this little game you play as a robot avoiding spiky things that will disarm you if you touch them.
The music is nice but the graphics and environments could use some changes, and why do i have to press X to respawn or to advance to the next level?, just do automatically!.
Anyway, it’s not a bad game, and i’m sure you’ll be moving those platforms for a while.

Graveyard Graveyard Revolution [Online]
The mastermind behind VVVVVV brings us a strange game. You are in a graveyard, and you can walk up to the graves, and dance on them!.
The music is quite charming, i think is Irish folk music or Celtic music. Either way, DDR yourself on those graves.

Every Day The Same Dream [Online]
Have you ever dreaded your office job?, yeah, me too (when i had one). This little game is about that.
You wake up and have to go to work, sit in your cubicle, surrounded by others like you, and do the monotonous work. Or you can leave your apartment almost naked and go with a homeless guy to a cemetery, or jump from the top of your office building.
I cannot help to be left with a bittersweet...

Did you ever wanted to simulate McDonald´s?, i guess not, but here it is. You control from the growing of the crops, the raising and slaughtering of the cattle, and much more!.
You can even bribe the townspeople to buy their land and plant more crops.
It´s kind of fun, and it´s very funny. So if you dislike McDonald´s or love it, check it out.

Sonny [Online]
In this zombie infested adventure RPG you play as Sonny, who doesn’t remember anything (how convenient) and has recently woken up on a ship in the middle of the sea, and guess what, the ship is zombie ridden!.
You have all the RPG staples, turn based combat, leveling up, shops, equipment, and more.
I find the lack of exploration a turndown, it’s not much fun just to click on a...

Zeno Clash Demo [Windows]
This is a special occasion that we’ll skip DOS Saturday. Why?, because this day (September 18, 2010) marks the biccentenial of the Chilean Republic.
So here’s in my opinion the best game produced in my homeland.
Zeno Clash is a FPS fully developed in Santiago de Chile by ACE Team, and it’s not your tipical FPS, although you have weapons, the game focuses on hand to hand...

BOWJA THE NINJA on factory island [Online]
I really love this kind of puzzle/adventure games, and i don’t think i’ve featured one here.
In this nifty puzzle game you have to click around and pass the ninjas and the machines that are trying to stop you from defeating the evil robot Gi8000!. You can shoot arrows, climb to ledges, and other stuff.
A really nice game to spend an afternoon on it, so get ready for the pixel...

Biolab Disaster [Online]
This plataform shooter is quite simple, you run, shoot and jump your way through the levels, and it gets a little repetitive after a while. What’s interesting about it is that it’s made entirely on HTML5.
It really shows that you don’t need Flash to make a good browser game. With HTML5 you can make it lighter and plugin-less (is that even a word?).
Like i said, the game is...

lint [Online]
If you haven’t noticed, i love plataformers. In this one you play as a lint, yeah, a mere lint, and being a lint you can hop very far and climb to walls and ledges, pretty neat right?.
The graphics are a bit too crude, the music is good and is worth checking out.

Money Thief [Online]
It’s usual to play as the hero, so playing as a thief is an interesting change.
The objective in this cool plataformer is to steal everyone’s money and get away with it.
You use Z to jump and X to stash your cash in the bins at the end of the level. There are a few ways to sneak by people, and the best is to change outfit behind the dumpsters.
You can pass the levels without...

Are you a fan of multitasking?, well if you are you’re gonna enjoy this game a lot!. You make tons of points by using the arrow keys (or WASD), clicking on a button and mashing the space bar.

After the shocking surprise at PAX of Duke Nukem Forever, we ought ourselves to play some Duke Nukem 3D.

Seasons with Thomas [Online]
I wouldn’t call this a game, but an experience. In this little flash game you control what it looks like humpty dumpty in a monocycle, moving to the right, passing through different scenarios each one with it’s own season.
The graphics and animations are splendid, it really amazes me what can be done with the badmouthed Flash (i don’t like it either).

Defend Yourself [Online]
A very simple defense game. Shoot at the balls and keep them from touching you.
The interesting thing is that this game is made on HTML5, no plugin required, nothing. I get amazed by the amount of stuff that HTML5 can do, let’s hope to see more games using this technology.

Caster Demo [Windows/OSX/Linux]
Yay!, our first multiplataform game. Caster is a fantastic 3rd person action shooter where you run, jump and shoot at a fast speed.
You have a world hud where you select the missions and the objetive is to either get all the orbs or destroy all the enemies, or both.
The controls and mechanics are great and so much fun, i could spend hours just running and jumping.
You can have up to 5 weapons...

Onslaught! [Online]
A cool retro themed game with tiny little sprites like we all love. You have to defeat the hordes of monsters with the weapons they drop. You can switch weapons with the Z and X key to better fit the purpose of killing a boss or killing hordes.
A cool thing to notice is that the game is made on HTML5, and it runs great!, take that Flash.

Metroid [Online]
Metroid: Other M is out, and from what it seems it’s pretty good. So, if you don’t have a Wii, there’s no better time to experience the first game of the saga.
Although the game is old and hasn’t aged as well as his SNES counterpart, it’s a fun and good experience. If you have never played it, i recommend using a map before you lose your mind.
If you can, play the...

Raptor: Call of the Shadows [Windows]
I have very fond memories of this awesome Shooter. From beign confused in the lobby menu, to shooting everything away and beign amazed by the music and graphics.
This is a Windows version so it doesn’t require DOSBox, just install it. If you enjoyed it you can buy the full version (right after opening the game a windows pop up with all the details), and there’s even an updated...

RocketJump [Online]
Given the recent suicide of Digg i’ve jumped onto Reddit, and i gotta say it’s better than i had expected (the layout is still terrible but you can install scripts that give the site a nicer look). I found really cool sections like WebGames and IndieGaming. This game comes from the WebGames section. The whole concept is based on rocket jumping through mazes of spikes.

Kiwitiki - Flower Paradise Demo [Online]
A very nice looking flash game we have here. You control a bird that has to catch stars and get the highest score.
I think the game would benefit from playing it with the keyboard, moving the character with the mouse isn’t very natural. Also it’s strange that when you finish a level a button for the next one is nowhere to be seen (or clicked), so you have to go back to the map.

Destroy The Brain [Online]
The Unity Player sometimes amazes me. This game looks very nice for beign a browser game.
Move the turret around and shoot the brain!, this is a short game but quite fun and frentic.
The site says that the game was created in 24 hours, that’s amazing!.
PS: Thanks to the cool guys at IndieGames.com for bringing amazing games to my attention.
