Scarygirl

when looking at flash game it is pretty common to see games that where quickly made and don't have much dept to them

luckily Scarygirl isn't one of those types of games. the people (artist Nathan Jurevicuius and a team of others) behind the game really took their time with with it (9 years) and it shows from the beginning as the game starts of with a quick cartoon opening, that hints at the plot and tone of the game (cute but with a hint of spooky creepiness)

You play Scarygirl, a (maybe dead) pirate girl with a tentacle for one arm and a bone for her other hand, who is haunted by the image of a man's face in her dreams. Scarygirl wants to know who this man is and does he have anything to do with her mysterious past. Scarygirl goes of looking for answers, her first stop are her wise guardians (a rabbit and a octopus) who give you clues and set you off to go father.

The games a pretty average platform game. as you go on your adventure you collect jewels for points and also fish that when eating can heal you a little bit. like the sonic games if you get hit by an enemy you drop the fish that where on you and you have to go and pick them up (but since you are know injured you know eat them)

along the way you meet a number of new friends to help you along the way.
