Rebuild & Rebuild 2

Rebuild: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/562116
Rebuild 2: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/581493

Play as the leader of a small community after a zombie outbreak and reclaim your city house by house. Manage your group’s need for food, shelter, security and morale and try to restore order to the dangerous world.

After starting the game, check out the settings to turn on “Harsh Language” and “Fullscreen” for a better experience.

TIME FCUK

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/511754

A platformer game with an interesting vibe, challenging puzzles, a superb soundtrack and user-made levels for when you finished the official ones. Made by the developer behind Super Meat Boy.

Chain of Fire

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/480877

Set the world ablaze with as few matches as possible! In this chain-reaction game you pick an unsuspecting human, turn him in a direction and put him on fire. Your goal? To incinerate as many people (and trees) as you can with the smallest number of fires started. A sinister little game to waste some time ... and stick figures.

Oh and did I mention that you can customize the color of the flames?

Infectonator (series)

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/520220

A collection of games which are similar in gameplay to other chain-reaction games such as “Chain of Fire”, the Infectonator games have you infecting people with zombieism with the ultimate goal of turning the whole world into the undead.
As you progress you get to upgrade the lethality of the virus by increasing attributes such as its infectiousness or the zombies’ speed.

Karoshi: Suicide Salaryman

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/462774

Most games encourage you to avoid dying. Not so “Karoshi: Suicide Salaryman”! In this dark platformer you are Karoshi, a suicidal salaryman who wishes nothing more than to end his life. Unfortunately, he has 49 of them and it is up to you to help Kiroshi find that sweet, sweet embrace of death.

Update: So apparently there is not only one but a whole load of sequels to this game (http://www.karoshigame.com). Thanks to @WhimsicalCalamari et al. for pointing this out.

Vertical Drop Heroes

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/547759
For fullscreen: http://uploads.ungrounded.net/547000/547759_vdh_nk_UNLOCKED.swf

In this unusual platformer you are the hero! Well, sort of. Everyone else - knights, wizards and so on - got imprisoned by goblins who also kidnapped the princess. Now it’s up to you to save her, them and the day.

For people who need to play while doing something else, I recommend Anti-Idle :The Game, you can play or not, the game will still progress.

You have the most generic taste in flash games ever. If you see this comment, I recommend Superfighters over on Maxgames.

Will check it out.

norrinraddsboard

Cardhunter is one of my favorite time fcuks

Karoshi is amazing, highly recommended

So given that this ended up on the front page, do you guys want to see a follow-up?

jsd3306

I'm happy to see more ways to waste my time. I've played some of these before, too, good choices.

Vertical Drops Heroes now has been remade by the author, here's a link to the steam page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/311480/

SamMan

Remember if you play flash games you are not a "real" gamer & may have scorn heaped upon you by "real" gamers.

Is that so? I haven’t encountered that attitude myself yet. Playing mobile games on the other hand ...

ArdentSlacker

I play anything that isn't a sports game or JRPG. (I used to play a number of JRPGs... now, I kinda go "I've already solved this combat."

thisisdaleb

JRPGs are pretty much for story and story only. Except Pokemon.

Trouble is, there's an hour of story and 40 hours of combat-grind. If the combat isn't good, that's a rotten ratio.

Lutan

Damn, thank you. I played suicide salaryman like 2 years ago, it was fucking awesome. Thanks for reminding me

Also, apparently there are even more versions that “even I” did not know of so be on the look-out for those, too.

No problemo. Did you know that there is a sequel named “Super Karoshi”? It can be found here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/497593

Going to play it right now. I think I played the Gamemaker version of Karoshi, it's also really good.

See the updates in the OP, I was just told that there are even more games to this series than I thought.

ThatAssholeOverThere

everytime i click the link it crashes the plug-in, thaks op

Dooood

How is that his fault? Sounds like you may need an update or something.

Sarcasm

Ah. Damn this text medium not fully transferring one user's meaning to another! Somebody should do something about that...

Zoddom

I would really like to recommend Motherload, on Miniclip. Its fucking addicting.

Definitely.

mttx

Fuck yeah Motherload

smarmyshmarmy

Infectonator is great and it has an equally good sequel but Kingdom Rush is my favorite browser game. Goddamn addicting tower defense games.

Alextfish

Kingdom Rush and its sequel are fantastic indeed.

jessicacupcake

kingdom rush and frontiers are amazing. i got written up for playing them at work

Sitraka

Already played Rebuild ! Awesome game when i was younger ^^

Indeed. How did you come across this super old post though?

8 years ago |

heu...i don't remember, may be it was in my favs and i was looking for games...Also how did YOU saw my old message :p

I rarely log into imgur anymore, hence the delay in replying.

wow that makes sense...(so you will awser this in 5 months ? xD )

Nah, but if you reply tomorrow (after I logged out today) then I might answer in 5 months ;P

Rickard160

There is an Early Access 'rebuild' game on Steam, it's totally worth the money if you enjoy the other rebuild games.

adeciduoustree

Oh shit thank you.

kenpokid4

Honestly thought this was a joke about how similar State of Decay is and that it was Early Access.

IceMice

I believe that vertical drop heroes also just got released ( I saw it in a bundle somewhere)

LuciditY

Half a dozen? Six!

What’s the difference :p ?

Boredashell

awww yiss. Mother fucking newgrounds.

ShaniaMarkTwain

wow, i haven't been on newgrounds since 2002.. didn't know it still existed.

Glumerlink

If there is ever a community that deserves our support, It is newgrounds. It singlehandedly drove indie development before indie was a thing

Yeah. 90% of the video game apps out there have an older version that exists on newgrounds. +1 good sir

So true.

Wetop

90% of statistics are made up on the spot.

mybrothersmario

35% of statistics made up on the spot are accurate.

True but I mean,there was a dozen games where u launch something from left to right to kill/destroy stuff on the right side. A la AngryBirds

Well, he does have a point though. Just take Crush the Castle which spawned Angry Birds.

Has a point yeah, but 90%? Ehhh. I doubt that number is even close to the truth.

realmccoyandaceofbasegangwar

I played Chain of Fire through an entire work day once.

Yeah, those seventy levels sure take their sweet time to beat.

Thanks for this list, got to play some games I hadn't in a while and found some good new ones.

No problem! By the way, should I make a follow-up post to this some time? There’s at least six more games of this quality that I’d recommend

I think you know the answer:

Alright, I should get around to that some time tomorrow. Want me to inform you once it’s uploaded?

ttra

Suicide Salaryman is hiarious!

KyleShankland

There is also one in google play store. It costs $.99

NotThatSarah

I love all the Karoshi games!!

Did you know that there is a sequel to it named “Super Karoshi”? If not, you can find it here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/497593

WhyTheHellAreWeMakingMeth

theres also an actual pc game you can download, it's quite fun actually

WhimsicalCalamari

Also, standalone versions that are quite different

Oh? Where might I find those?

Seems there's a mobile game since last I looked, too. http://www.karoshigame.com

Alright, sweet, half of those I did not know. I’ll add it to the OP.

RPGamerFTW

Those are actually not the real games. There is another game called karoshi factory. sandbox.yoyogames.com/users/2Dcube

DonDiegoSiDonBernardo

the sequel is even better! I thought I was the only one outside Japan to be fond of this game :p

Japan? The maker is dutch and it was made via Game Maker, not flash. 1 of the best games uploaded on www.sandbox.yoyogames.com.

Haha, apparently not quite.

Trafficlights

Hell yes, I concur. But I seem to stupid to get that R does not shoot, but reset...

In what game does pressing “R” shoot a gun :p ? Isn’t that the hotkey for reloading your weapon in most games?

Yes, but the only other key besides the left and right is fucking the fucking spacebar. I'm used to spacebar being either jumping or nothing

Ah, okay, that makes sense.

I can't really explain.. I guess it's because I have to reset so often *dumbfuck*

No, I think I understand what you mean.

Are you answering every comment? It's probably your first post on the front page, isn't it? hehehe..

DevilsHalo

Are any of these apps? I want these on my phone

Some of them are. Rebuild, Infectonator and Karoshi are the ones I KNOW to be available as apps. Not sure about the rest.

This got downvoted?

Maybe accidentally?

well, i was seriously asking. no sarcasam...

I was answering seriously :0
