My Favorite Shooter Game: Robokill Titan Prime

There are good shoot em up games and there are great shoot em up games, but once in while an amazing shoot em game is released and that’s exactly what Robokill Titan Prime is. Simply amazing! This is a game that manages to merge compelling and immersive gameplay with a super slick GUI and some breathtaking Space Mech graphics, all in under a 5MB flash game file. This, ladies and gentlmen is the brilliant work of the Rock Solid Arcade team.

For those of you who don’t know, Rock Solid Arcade are reasonable for some little titles like Stunt Pilot, Dogfight The Great War and Dogfight 2. Hardly gaming lightweights!

In Robokill Titan Prime you control a mech robot armed with some basic machine guns when you start out. Don’t worry though because soon enough you’ll be blasting enemy aliens with all manner of explosive weapons. You begin on the deck of an immense spaceship and gameplay unfolds from a birds-eye or top down perspective. You can move from section to section via the various doorways. Each new section of the ship will present a new challenge. Whether it’s a swarm of enemy drones to kill off, a bunch of supply boxes to investigate or a swicth to activate, there will always be something to do.

To help you make your way around the ship, your mech robot comes equipped with a map which you can call on any time during the game. The map will start of blank for each level and will only materialize as you make your way through the ship. Gameplay is autosaveable thanks to various waypoints that you encounter as you progress.

But don’t take the waypoints for granted because if you happen to loose ground to the enemy then the waypoint will be out of use until you reactivate it.

I found the experience points and subsequent level ups to be a great way of keeping you locked in the gameplay. All shoot em up games are faced with the problem of monotony, Robokill Titan Prime does a good job of keeping gameplay diversified and aside from all its eye candy, that’s what sets it apart from other flash games in the same genre. Let’s hope the good people at Rock Solid Arcade keep their games coming! All I have left to say about this game is go and play it right now!

The Game is Changing

This is a follow up to a post I made on TalkArcades.com. I was discussing the way in which more and more flash games are being released at over 2MB file size, some even exceed the 10MB level. My point was that flash games are beginning to compete with downloadable PC games of the likes of bigfishgames for example. While these new large sized games are a good idea on paper and will no doubt come into their own in the near future, right now we’re stuck with broadband connections and server speeds that still struggle to load these games in under a minute.

So from a Webmaster’s perspective, and I’d be interested to hear other webmasters opinions on this later on, unless you pay for a high speed dedicated server, chances are that these mega flash games will be more of a deterrant to your visitors than the smaller games. Looking over my stats for Sly5 for example has shown a clear preference from visitors for the fast loading simplistic games. The load time factor is hugely significant for any website and a matter of 30 seconds can decide whether a visitor returns to your site or not.

In the interests of gauging a response from gamers and webmasters alike, I’ve decided to make use of a neat new feature on WordPress.com blogs which is the polldaddy integration. I’d like to find out what you think works the best: big game files with complex and visually stimulating games or small game files and simple games?

FingerMonkey Top 20 Free Flash Games

Previously on this blog, I released a small ‘top 5 zombie games‘ pack for webmasters. Since that proved to be a success, I thought I’d follow up with a slightly larger pack, this time featuring my top 20 favorite games. It’s a mixture of all genres but the common binding factor is that each game is special and each one has proved a success with arcade visitors.

Free Flash Games

To put this in a little context, I’ve been hand picking flash games for my two arcades since they began over a year ago. Part of the reason why I do this is simply because many of the large 1000-2000 payable game packs are full of crap.

Out of 1000 games you’re lucky to find 100 that are of any worth. Of course taste and prefrence in flash games is always going to be a subjective affair, and the old addage ‘one mans rubbish is another man’s gold’ holds true, but in many cases you’re dealing with games that don’t work, duplicate games or games that nobody in their right mind would take time out to play. In addition to this, I’ve always found it ludicrous that you have to pay someone $50-100 for a games pack that consists of games released in the public domain. Enough said.

Here is my Top 20 free flash arcade game list, in descending order. You can download the pack at the bottom of this post thanks to MediaFire.com – it may take some time but hopefully it’s worth it. Enjoy and let me know how it goes.

1. Boomshine; 2. Clinic; 3. Blast Billiards; 4. Franky The Fish; 5. Batman; 6. Heist; 7. Wordelicious; 8. Trick Hoop Challenge; 9. Maus Force Attack; 10. Bomb It; 11. Doeo; 12. Sniper School; 13. Everybody’s Golf; 14. Sonic; 15. Tennis Game; 16. Starship 11; 17. Sub Commander; 18. Elastic Soccer; 19. Chicken Attack; 20. Brain Machine
