I've lost count of how many Portal styled map manipulation flash game spinoffs I've posted for Monday Mind Teasers, but I have yet to find one I didn't like. It's impressive how many different directions the mechanic can be taken in by so many different designers.
Fault Line is a bit like Paper Mario, but instead of bending Mario around to get into tricky areas in a level, you're actually folding the map to help the main character advance through a level. This mechanic has been done a few times before in various Paper Mario games as well, but to have a whole game dedicated to the gameplay concept is a lot of fun.
Even though it's not a very difficult game, there's 30 total levels to entertain you. The audio isn't as great as some of the games I've posted this year, but the controls are very pleasing; I hate when games have walk and run animations that feel like you're a slug crawling across the screen.
You can play Fault Line here on Nitrome.

I'll talk about Robot Unicorn Attack any chance I can get. I do have to say though, I'm surprised it's taken this long for a retro version of the hit runner game to happen. Still, it's as a fun as ever with you collecting fai...

I think we're all pretty familiar with dating sims. They're typically really cute, but mostly they're pretty erotic. Admit it, we've all played them before just to see what they were about and most of the time they're not tha...
It's a little too short, a little too simple, a little tedious, and doesn't have enough music, but that's still not stopping me from declaring that The Guardian on Newgrounds is one of the best simple pixel art games I've eve...
