please for the love of god can someone help me fing this fucking game it was on either kongregate or cool math games and you play as this wierd thing. this heinous creature. this atrocious vermin. this absoloute cretin. this fucking fucker.(approximate recreation of it by me using piskel. the game doesnt use pixel art but piskel has a circle tool and flamepainter pro doesnt)

mechanics/gimmicks:

the mechaninc is that you can switch between different versions of the map that looked really different but had mostly the same base geometry(ie house/house shaped block in the same place in most of them or a wall that blocks you not being there in a different version) and you find a thing(i think it was an eye but im not sure) in them to unlock the next version and your eye changes colour depending on where you are(the pictureis the eye in the first area) i remember that the ui you click on to switch between them was a little inventory bar with eyes in it that matched the colour your eye changes to

levels

the first level/area ispurely black and white and theres no detail, just black shapes you can jump over and the second one is a beach and i remember there being a lighthouse that was a pain to get through and also a beached pirate ship i dont remember the order of the rest but i know theres an anime one with a giant tower of test tubes in it for some reason and a video game one where the pirate ship from the sea one was a magic flying ship in the sky there was also a one where there were a ton of plants and trees and there was a vineyard or whatever theyre called that you could climb

If you dont know wut this is, this is red remover, a flash game, released in 2009, its very simple, get rid of the grumpy red blocks and keep the happy green blocks around. Theres a sequel called remover blast, which is the same concept but you can click around to make a explosion sending any blocks around it away.

Halfbrick Lost Media: Fruit Ninja Flash Version

so after i made that post about some lost JavaScript games on HB's old website from 2001, i was thinkin' that i'm gonna make a sorta series of short posts about little bits of lost media i've discovered relating to Halfbrick to just bring a bit of attention to them and also document them here, cause i think they're super interesting!! i'll compile a little checklist here of some topics i might make little posts about and then i'll get onto it:

Fruit Ninja Flash

Fruit Ninja Tencent

Fruit Ninja Kakao

Fruit Ninja Frenzy

Monster Dash for Chrome

Lost Trailers for Old Games + Unconfirmed Jetpack Joyride Android Trailer

alright enough stalling, i'll get to the point now :P

The facts:

This is the icon listed on this page belonging to a game simply known as 'Fruit Ninja Original Flash', which, as you might've guessed, is a flash version of Fruit Ninja which is presumably very old, being created back in 2010 before the mobile version's release. This game was up on Halfbrick's website likely around Fruit Ninja's anniversary, but now leads to a 404 page when the link is clicked. The game has no footage available, nor any blog posts on Halfbrick's website relating to this version of the game I could find.

Trying To Find The Damn Thing:

While messing around with the Wayback Machine, I snagged an archive of the wiki page this game's listed on and clicked the link provided on that page, which lead me to this:

(apologies about the dodgy screenshot, i was on mobile at the time of taking it)

Not a good sign. This archive is from 2021, which is a little after Flash was discontinued at the end of 2020, which is... also not a good sign... Yikes :(

I didn't give up though, and I thought of taking a look into the website using Inspect Element and manually finding the .swf file just in case it wasn't loading correctly.

There definitely is something here, and this also confirms the game was made in 2010 by the filename there. It just doesn't load correctly on my browser, probably because Flash is blocked in some way (I use Brave). If only I could actually, y'know, download it....

Luckily though, I do have an extension called Ruffle on my Firefox browser. I thought I could at least try running it before downloading it, so I opened the page and clicked the big orange play button on the Flash embed, but...

... That's not good. That's not good at all. On Brave I tried having a look in the Network tab to find if any .swf files were being loaded in, but the only thing I found was an index and a JavaScript file. I went and tried to nab it from Firefox but I got a 404 when trying to load the .swf object directly. Seems like it's trying to access a file that doesn't exist anymore on the server because it wasn't archived and thus can't run 'cause of that. I also tried using Flashpoint's search too and the program, but they only turned up some HTML5 versions of the game and VR and whatnot. I did find the 8-bit version though, so, uh... yay...?

The Verdict:

Yeah, the game's lost. More lost than the 20¢ coins my dad dropped between the couch cushions. Halfbrick themselves might still have the game on them considering it's a super old version of their most popular game, and who knows! It might turn up again someday. But for now, you can't play it, unless someone has saved the .swf to their computer years ago and decides to upload it of course.

I did find something really interesting while trying to get this to work though, and it's this page by one of the devs who made Fruit Ninja named Aaron Green. It contains some pictures and information about developing the prototype of Fruit Ninja, including the low poly watermelon model seen in the Flash game's icon, meaning that this prototype is the Flash game I'm looking for, which is pretty cool! Interestingly the image with all the fruits and their gibs show a tomato model instead of the kiwi fruit one, and, well, tomatoes aren't in the final game. Thought that was pretty cool :D

I wouldn't recommend contacting Green about this, as this game was made years ago and I don't want anyone getting bothered and I don't even know if he's still at Halfbrick. It sucks that this game is lost but y'know....

thank you for reading all this way :) i hope this game will get found one day, i really wanna play it because it's a cute old flash game and i'm such a sucker for old flash stuff from decades ago :P

this is an archived anniversary page for Fruit Ninja from 2020, where it has a timeline of development, including a bit about the Flash prototype with a link.

unfortunately, as i said in an earlier post from this year, the game does not work anymore as it wasn't archived properly. i miss him every day.

update to the lost Flash prototype version of Fruit Ninja

so a long time ago, i made a post talking about this version of Fruit Ninja i discovered and later found out to be lost media. it's the original prototype version of the game, and it was available to play on the old Fruit Ninja Anniversary website from 2017 onward. Luke Muscat talked about it in his video 'How I Designed Fruit Ninja', and he shows footage of it at 4:41 seconds. in the original post i made about the site, i found an archive from 2021, tried to fetch the file from the site, got hit with a CORS policy error and found out that the place the network was trying to fetch the file from was turning up with a 404. yesterday and today, i've been trying to work around the CORS policy error by disabling web security on my browser, but i've turned up with absolutely no luck.

for those unaware, a CORS policy (or Cross Origin Resource Sharing policy) is basically a something that allows or disallows a browser to access an asset from a domain that differs from the original domain. there's a website on Mozilla that explains this better than i could, but the way i understand it is that if your browser tries to make a request to fetch something that's hosted on a website but originates from another domain (say, a file sharing website), its regulated by the CORS policy to make sure the site you're fetching this information from is secure. if it's allowed, the content loads normally. if it isn't, the request to fetch that content is ignored (at least i think that's how it works). this, along with the 404, was what was stopping me from being able to fetch the swf from the site.

so, here's the main update: i can't find it. i've tried everything i know how to. disabling web security lead to the discovery that the swf itself was hosted on a separate URL from the main Fruit Ninja Anniversary website that apparently wasn't archived on the IA, and it was also being stopped by the CORS policy. punching that URL into the Wayback Machine turns up with a snapshot from 2022 that's just a 404, and since the Wayback Machine works by fetching every available snapshot of that URL it has in its library to load the content, it's always fetching that specific snapshot, and that's why it can't load the. no matter what archive of the Anniversary page i use, it's gone. it's lost-lost. i've even checked the self-hosted version of the Fruit Ninja Anniversary website on seanockert.com, but it's not there either. the only real options i have are scraping through every single Flash game archive i can find and hoping that someone saved it (which is a very low possibility), or to ask the original developer if they can send a copy my way (and even then, that option is an absolute last resort if nothing else works). i am pretty desperate at this point to find this thing and i'll look through everything i can to try to find it.

also, just to clear some extra stuff up: none of the Fruit Ninja games on Flashpoint are the prototype. none of them were made in Flash and they don't match up with the prototype. it was my first place to look and it unfortunately isn't there. additionally, the name of the swf file hosted on the Fruit Ninja Anniversary site is 'FruitNinjaHBF2010.swf'. searching this on the IA didn't bring up any results, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not on there in some way. i'm really hoping this'll turn up again and that it's stashed away on the internet somewhere.

update 2: made a twitter thread! i hope this catches some more attention on there, i don't use twitter so this topic will be the only thing i post on that account.

This is a great find! It did really confuse me that they used J.S. Bach’s Das Wohltemperiertes Klavier I Prelude 1 as background music (and cut short rather abruptly, I might add), but I’m never one to complain about Bach usage.

It’s a shame those games don’t work, I didn’t know most of them and would have loved to play them (can’t find them in the source code either). I do have working SWF files of Sundown Countdown (both versions) and a couple other Fairies games, so if anyone’s interested, hit me up.

so i came upon something interesting on this web designers page...

so, theres this web designer that designed a promotional site for the movie Tinker Bell for its release date in Oct. 2008 (you need flash to view it)

(Click images for higher quality) 

Myspace skins really date this. Its also pretty interesting how these old minigames are on here, though they dont work :(

Tink’s Fairy Tag and Dragonfly Race were given alternate titles for some reason

The video player does, interestingly…

Anyway, to get to the point… there is a meet the fairies section just like there was on the original Disney Fairies website

But when you read Fawn’s and Rosettas…

This basically confirms that Rosetta is the “oldest” in the friend group, and Fawn is the “youngest”.   Something was confirmed about Queen Clarion this way on the Official Disney Website. (credit to @ranibell​)

You can tell its an official Disney website, despite it not being on Disneys servers. I don’t think this was an intentional choice by the designer, but a fun fact that was used for the movie’s promotion

I used Maxathon browser to view it, which supports Flash Player. But it works with Chrome as long you enable flash.

OK THIS JUST HIT ME WITH A VISCERAL MEMORY, DOES ANYONE REMEMBER A NICK JUNIOR BABIES GAME?? WHERE YOU CARED FOR BABY NICK JUNIOR CHARACTERS?? THIS HAS HAUNTED ME FOR YEARS, I WANT TO PLAY IT AGAIN SO DESPERATELY,,,

truly can’t believe the entire internet used to be about playing little games. it was about having adobe flash and playing little games on nick.com

looking for lost media: a strange strategy game demo on nick.com in the early 2000's

alright so ages ago when i was but a wee little kid, there was a game (Flash or shockwave. I don't remember) where you are in some kind of ancient ruins and you controlled a bunch of small weird grey creatures. the creatures had a ball they could play with and somehow you can get more of these little guys over time. (i think they had kids but i don't remember for sure) and the goal was to feed them and get them to build a little hut for themselves. I think they also had little voices and called the player "master" or something. don't know for sure. then you would get them to build a bridge across a river or cliff (don't remember) and then the demo would end. does this ring a bell for anyone? i don't remember the name for the LIFE of me. if anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated!

So apparently listening to the sort of music I liked at 14 makes me better at the sort of flash games I liked at 14. More research will be needed.

YOOOOOOO!!!!

Still spots available for the horror project!

so far we only have

Alright listen up fellow late 90′s and early 2000′s kids. Grew up with flash/shockwave browser games? 

Well Adobe is retiring flash in 2020 (rip) and this dude BlueMaxima has created a project to save online flash/shock/java/etc games and animation though a launcher software. HERE

There’s literally thousands of games that have been found and saved.

The internet is truly beautiful at times. 

I love the dialog, music & atmosphere of this Flash game/movie! My boss (Evil-Dog Productions) helped with the music.
