Could be either Sombreros or GunFu Deadlands

GunFu Deadlands was it; you are a wonderful person.

i doubt anyone will be able to name it but ... there's this game i played in the public library as a kid once, about a rabbit that meets other animals and helps them with their problems by  solving simple challenges like color matching or something.  i remember that it had interesting graphics where the ground was a solid green mass with slopes and the background was white ... maybe with a fence or something.  it's been decades, quiet literally, and i haven't been able to find it.  it was an Apple IIe game or maybe Tandy.

It sounds like Reader Rabbit.

Hello, I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me out with this.

It was a PC game I played somewhere between 1999-2004 (ish), sadly I don't remember much:
- you were a humanoid who could jump, climb, shoot, etc. and had a jetpack (maybe some sort of invisibility cloak as well, not sure)
- set on a planet that was not earth
- coastal setting, lots of sand, clear water (both sea and small puddles, or 'lakes'), (palm)trees
- very bumpy area, lots of hills and mountains that were accessible for the most part
- area was very big, lots of walking around to do
- the colors were very bright and alive, very bright sun shining
- there were some sort of alien bases which you had to destroy, all I remember is that they were black, with hive-like entrances/tunnels (I think)
- creatures were also black, as soon as they saw you they'd run toward you so you had to take out their bases from a distance (you could snipe, i think)

If anyone should happen to know; thank you.

That's it! Thank you so much, I never expect to get a reply, let alone this quickly! It's funny, though, how in my memory the graphics were a lot better than they actually are. Thanks again!

Hi, I've been looking for two games that I used to play so many years ago. I can't remember their names anymore, but here's the detail in case anyone can remember.


First Game
---------------------
- The game is a web-based interactive novel.
- The story is about a guy who work in fashion industry. Got involved in some kind of crime and got framed of murder. The main character's also cheating on his wife with a single mom.
- There are many many endings and variations.
- The graphic is done in graphic novel style. Strong contrast shading.


Second Game
---------------------
- The game is a match-3 game
- While playing match 3, there's an animatic cutscene keep playing on the right or the top of the screen, I don't quite remember.
- The main character is a woman in some kind of futuristic suit. The story is that she has to go fight some kind of robot or monster, I think
- The game apparently won an award or something. It was featured in IndieGame blog
- The screen is pretty orange. I remember orange being the main color of the interface.


Thank you in advance! I keep googling for hours and it really bug me so if you can help me I'll really appreciate it!

This is frustrating, I know what game the first one is, but I can't remember the name, either.

I'm looking for a space invaders-style tower defense game. It's all controlled by mouse and it has somewhat simple bitmap graphics.

The game was made by a guy who has entered a few compos (ludum dare?), but he's probably more well known for being very prolific at making games on a website that looks like it's designed for kids. He's made several cheesy-looking platformers. He might have a forum where 13 year olds talk about about game development. He's like unintentional trainwreck material segueing into Leon Arnott levels of ludic experimentation.

Does this sound familiar?

Same here.

As I recall, the title is a single short word. I often saw it mentioned alongside Facade some years ago.

Sounds like Moon Invaders from Hamumu.

That's it, thanks. I found it a few hours after I posted that, but I was too lazy to come back here and say anything. Having fun with the game.

Hope someone can help , this has been driving me crazy for a while.
It was an arcade game I played in the early 90's , a multiplayer stand up unit with 3 or 4 sets of controls. You controlled a kid and it was a platforming race against your friends  or AI . I can't remember if it was a sidescroller or fixed screen style. I'm leaning towards the later. Thanks for your time.
