So it’s Friday! Yeah yeah, I know I killed your productivity yesterday, but it’s my birthday today so I’m going to do it again because it gives me pleasure. So today’s productivity killer, Don’t Save The Princess, is a flash game that was originally created by Alexander Shen using Game Maker. Fortunately for your cubical based shenanigans it was just recently ported over to Flash by Wayne Marsh and is available for free play at Ninja Kiwi.
The objective of Don’t Save the Princess is to not save the princess. Which is apparently accomplished by feeding your knight to a giant lizard thing. The game uses tiles placed by the player to fire the knight off in various directions to get to the lizard, all the while completely ignoring the hapless damsel in distress.
On an convenient side note Alexander Shen is also working on a game called Cadet 227, an Action/Adventure game that is intended to be played entirely by sound and is made with the visually impaired in mind. The game just got a new trailer yesterday and sounds really interesting.
