Rock, Paper Shotgun's article about Newgrounds being the world's most prolific gaming platform is perfectly timed with today's post, where I dump another giant load of under-appreciated games on everyone.
Apparently research was being done to declare iOS the world's largest gaming platform, but instead they found that it's Newgrounds. My favorite part of the article is the comments, where some rock-dweller says, "I just took at look at the latest submissions list with 'Aliens Seduce Woman ep 2' and quietly clicked away." Welcome to Newgrounds!
So yesterday was DAY 1 of the Treasure Hunt results and we sorted through a big batch of platformers. There were TWO on my master list that I accidentally left out, so here they are:
