This is the game to play if you are sad and want to quickly feel love and happiness. The character design I feel like perfectly hits this mark, and the unnerving tone throughout the short experience is just fantastic. Considering this, NextDoor is a short pixel-horror game made by Broelbrak and is inspired by the work of Jung Ito. This is a weird technicality, as while NextDoor is technically a game you can play in your browser, I’d highly recommend downloading it to get the full experience. There’s a good reason why it has remained so successful.
The music is fun and the enemies are cool as hell. Friday Night Funkin’ is a Dance Dance Revolution-esque rhythm game by ninjamuffin99, and harkens back to the Newgrounds-era Flash Player style of game. Friday Night Funkin’ has been one of the top games on Itch.io for a million years. Update (21/02/23): This article has been updated to add 3 more games to the list – Stick to the Plan, Over My Dead Body, and Pit of Lazarus.įriday Night Funkin’ Image: ninjamuffin99
I’m a fiend for these kinds of things, so I’ve handpicked a few games for you to try that can be played in your browser. These games have the vibe of playing a game on Newgrounds as a kid or teen, mixed with the polish that today’s technology can provide. Don’t you want to go back for a moment to when times were much simpler? Don’t you want to abandon humanity and revert to monkey? Luckily Newgrounds is still alive and kicking, but itch.io is a bit wider of a platform, and they’ve got heaps of very good browser games that were made in the past few years. Hell, even one of the games on the list below got its start from Newgrounds, and remains available on the platform with any new content being added there first. All of these titles got their start from Newgrounds, with the latter two coming from the creator of Newgrounds Tom Fulp’s very own game studio, The Behemoth. Super Meat Boy, Binding of Isaac, Castle Crashers, Battleblock Theater all came out of this era. Sure, you had all kinds of edgy shit on there, but it was the incubator for many, many games. Newgrounds in particular was a pioneer in the space, and a haven for hosting the browser games of the old internet, allowing anybody to make a little game and post it online. It was a simpler time, one I miss greatly. I remember that magical point in life, when getting on the computer after school meant sifting through Flash game after Flash game ( rest in peace), searching for something to entertain myself. Remember when browser games were all the rage? Remember Cool Math Games? Miniclip? And probably the best one of all, Newgrounds?
