Best of the Net: Failure

Best of the Net!
September appears to be the busiest time of the year for most people – what with the end of vacations and people getting back to their jobs and school and whatnot. Be that as it may, a bunch of you EGP’ers have turned out a fantastic assortment of failing games. Let’s see what you’ve made, shall we?

Interesting ambiance on this one – the sounds really scale up the graphics well.

Hehehe, I see some of us had to get pretty creative. Can’t wait to try all of these out, assuming of course there isn’t too much free time sucked away fail.

I in fact completely failed to make a game even though I planned to, suddenly university was extremely busy…
The game I had planned may appear at a later date when it’s less busy, but it sounds most like Mailure.

Can’t wait to play all these :)
Oh and by the way – the hyperlink for “Fail/Fail, by Vazor” is a bit incorrect.

Congratulations to everyone who made a game this month. The theme was strange and a bit difficult, but it resulted in games that are quite varied, which makes it fun to go through and try them all out.

Wow, I love the game “RUN”… it has a really tense atmosphere… I just don’t get what it actually means, though the creator posted some hint…

Hello every one, I just noticed that the month was ending, I though I had an other week before October first, stupid school. So well, I just finish my game here, I am still in time ’cause it’s not october yet.
I did a little game where you have to pass some rectangles in a breach. Well try it, there is an online high score.
