Alien Jeter comes from the sky!

As you all may know I have been working on Jetdude since Spring 2007.

Proof of the game history:

http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=324506&hl=

The game has made many changes.

Ark 22 is an GM action rpg that needs more attention

Many action rpgs have not been seen on the gmc or yoyogames. The reason if that it requires long hours of programming, story writing, and a community development.

An Untitled Story [freeware!]

YoMamasMama has released a new free game to the public called untitled story. Now you all may believe the game seems like it was made overnight by the name but once you play it you will end up playing the game overnight.

The game graphics resemble that which was made on MS paint. However the gameplay capitalizes in physics, storylines, and level design. The game also sticks to its graphics by not using sprites that were found on the internet that do not match the graphic in the game. Read more »
