• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

Any infomation on this? All I can find is the game itself. It seems to be based on NXEngine.

Well, looks like its official, this port is on the same pedestal as those mario and sonic knock offs (or has been for quite some time)

Could have been this. A person announced that they would port it to flash. Maybe this is it?

Why...
Why would anyone want to make this port and still feel good about themselves?

Next up in the near future, we will be getting Super Mario 3D World and Call of Duty in Flash!

Won't that be just exciting? :awesomeface:

Like most people I doubt they could consider the consequences of their actions. The consequences being that thousands of flash gaming sites would actively seek to profit from the game through advertising.

Colino illustrated this mindset:

Making the game in flash form would simply make it playable by more means, it wouldn't make it a console port. It would still be PC/Mac/Linux, just like the original, with the difference that you could play it in a browser.

I don't see this offending his will in any way, since it would stay essentially the same...
Famous last words, eh?

Wasn't there a topic about reporting this flash game and asking us to ask the websites to have it removed, at some point? Something about the ad revenue cutting away from Pixel's "profit" or something.

Not to mention if people play a shitty flash port first, they'll assume that's the game itself, wonder what the hype is about when it's a piece of shit, then never buy anything by Pixel again. Or they'll spread the shitty flash game to other people who assume the same, and it's just a chain reaction of depreciation.

Or something like that.

Luckily it was removed from most flash game sites quite a while ago. We could report it to the site i guess. That's what happened to other sites that hosted the game.

Yes I believe they've acquired full rights to it.
