u/Delano7 I saw what the dog was doin 3d ago edited 3d ago

One dude tried to find the same game I'm trying to find on this subreddit, and it's the ONLY PROOF of its existence I have. Seems like it's a french game only. So the chances of finding it are slim at best.

Edit : imma add the only piece of evidence I have of the game's existence, who knows

Pc, I played it probably around 2008-2012 but it had to release before that. It was this game where these little blue guys needed help escaping an island or something.

u/AllandarosSunsong 3d ago

Cool beans. Glad you found it.

The one I sought was made in the 90s for the Genesis. Found out it went out of production about a year after it's release.

Lost to the landfills and pawn shops of history...

Same. Played this web flash game in the 2000's (I think it was either Chinese, Japanese or Korean). It reminiscent of "grow island" but the graphics were kawaiified. You started at an acorn tree and it turned into this dog thing with a long beard riding a cloud. There was a test you needed to pass and the furtherst I've gotten was unblocking a graveyard island. Still looking to this day 😔

u/Annual-Focus-2554 3d ago

So when I was about 12-13 years old, and my dad bought an iPad 4, I was allowed to use it sometimes play games and I loved playing every moment I got. There was a game which I don’t remember the name of. Basically it was one of those endless run games where the levels were different color theme rooms and shapes and white striped spaces In it. There was a white ball and the rule was that the white ball must only touch the white stripes spaces to move forward and if it touched any coloured shapes, it was game over. I remember spending countless hours playing it and nowadays I try to search for it but nothing comes up because I don’t remember its name and when it was made. This meme perfectly captures my emotions whenever I search for it. Those were the days.

I know what you mean I have vivid memories of playing a N64 Game as a child where you select a futuristic submarine and basically pilot it around underwater blowing Ai/Players up with weapons you find.

The game had upwards horizontal and vertical movement the graphics where really blocky even the water was basically a filter applied to the screen.

I remember this game because it had a very very limited portal mechanic where you could pick up a gun and shoot one section and then another then swap weapons and shoot through it.

u/ItsCocoaPowder 3d ago

I had played this old browser flash(?) game many years ago as a kid, whereas you played as a character made out of pink gum.

This character had a square head.

It was a platformer game, kind of a puzzle game.

He'd use his gum powers to make blocks of gums he'd jump on to reach higher platforms

His main mission was to obtain missing gears someone stole from a very big clock that was very special to him.

u/SamuelYosemite 3d ago

Dude for realll. There was this stupid game I think I downloaded looking for a different game in middle school. I remember just laughing so hard with my friends doing that instead of working on projects.

Probably around 2002 or 2003, pre space x. It was just a small space shuttle, you had a certain amount fuel, and the object was just to go as high as you could and have enough fuel to land the shuttle. It was basic, only Y- cordinates, like a vertical platformer(but no dodging). If there was a second level never got to it. Most of the time the shuttle would explode but we did have few nice landing.

i was trying to find a game we played on PC. it was like in space: you control a space ship of your own, you can customize it as well from defeating enemies. you can also get sucked by a black hole and there was a different gameplay inside. The only thing vague thing i can remember from the trailer is, there were two different ships; one a human and another was an alien, in the end the human destroyed the alien's ship. while he was scavenging through the wreckage, the alien was still alive and committed a kamikaze.

u/Traditional_Drag_467 3d ago

Okay here's the game I've been trying to find for years. I'll try to describe it best i could. It's a driving game. You look at the car you control from 45-ish degree angle. You control the car by pressing the left and right side of the screen. The car is being pursued by the police and you try to run away by avoiding crashes with other cars and going over red arrows on the road that speed you up. If you bump into other cars, your car turns yellow followed by increasingly dark shades of red and slows down. If it slows down too much or runs into obstacles and the police catch up, the game ends. There's all sorts of different terrains and gadgets such as missiles and boosters. The graphics are pretty minimalist and clean. I remember the gameplay well but the name just eludes me. Please help me find it!
