Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

This week's featured game is Level Up! It was developed by titch007uk using the flixel framework.

I've put together a flixel games page to showcase the power of the flixel and encourage more people to try it.

I promised we would wrap up the Treasure Hunt results before Thanksgiving, so here are your winners!

BEST GAME

The winning game is Aura Braver, a shooter that will surprise you with it rule-bending aura field system.

Aura Braver was suggested by Rhete amongst thousands of suggestions this year, so he wins the $200!

ODQ gets an honorable mention for the "A-HA!" moment when you figure out what you're doing.

There's a special place in my heart for a lot of the games featured in the experimental / retro post.

BEST SERIES

The best undiscovered Series is GNU. At the end of the day, we can see Gnu's face amongst the ranks of other iconic characters around here, so he's a legend in the making.

Gnu's author, golfinho, came up repeatedly throughout the Treasure Hunt, making him a gem in his own right!

Gnu was suggested by peixeaquatico, another gem of a user, friend of golfinho and winner of $200 for making the suggestion.

I've also decided to silence all complaints by awarding cash to the CREATORS of the winning submissions as well, so Tugoro, Kinsman and golfinho are each getting $200.

This is why NG is the best place on earth AMIRIGHT?

For anyone who missed it, the winning movie was Criminal!

You level up quicker each time and remember special abilities, so all is not lost!

Someone should make an Aura Beaver game though it sounds fun.
