pond
Peanut Gallery invites you to experience pOnd, a one-button zen relaxation game that celebrates the simple beauty of the natural world...
I can't finish it because it keeps restarting no matter what I do or don't do. And I am not impressed with the first three frames that I did get to see. Yech!
You might need to click the game screen in order to make it start. But right now it seems like the website is getting hit kind of hard. Was running faster earlier.
After figuring out that you need to hold space long enough to inhale all yellow glow things but not until you start coughing, I actually made it to the end. Now I am even less impressed than before. Who actually likes this stuff?? This one's a new low for posted games, Bart!
Funniest game ever! The ending is great. I am wondering if you can beat the kracken. I didn't but it was still funny. Is this one going to be in the TOP 10 this year Bart? I really hope that it is!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The site is dead! I was going to play it again and try to kill that Kracken. If I manage to find the game elsewhere I'll post it here so the link can be updated.
There is a Kracken in the pond at the end of the game. It's the big scary squid-monster from one of the Pirates Of The Carribean movies. I can't remenber which one of the movies it was. You'll know what it is when you see it. You'll most likely also laugh your head off when you see it. It's really funny!
That's kinda funny
ReplyDeletemeh
ReplyDeleteLOL. XD the ending made me laugh
ReplyDeletemake sure you play until the end, it's hilarious :-)
ReplyDeletelol, at first i thought it would be a deep game, or maybe a sad one, but then...
ReplyDeleteRRAWR!
XD XD :) =D
This is an outstanding game. Simply outstanding.

ReplyDeleteYech!
It doesn't seem to start for me. Just says "Loading Complete" and then 99 below the guy walking.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone help?
I'm using IE7 at the moment.

is the hole thing supposed 2 be relaxing????
ReplyDeletethe ending perked me up more than the rest of the game calmed me down
amazing. superbly well done.
ReplyDeleteflOw is actually a good game, as is Flower, though I haven't got to play that much because I don't have a PS3.
ReplyDeleteHeu, I really didn't like this game... As the beginning is very relaxant, as the end totally irritated me...
ReplyDeleteomg, this ending is so good. I'm still laughing :)

ReplyDeleteYou can beat the Kraken, but woe unto your space bar. In other news, the link is dead. :(
ReplyDeleteWHAT THE HELL IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AT THE END?
ReplyDeleteWhen I play it, I walk through the wood and then some text comes up and it takes me back to the main menu. Am I missing something?
"This Account Has Been Suspended"
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm too late...
ME TOO...... :)
ReplyDeleteACCOUNT SUSPENDED?
ME TOO.... :)
ReplyDeleteACCOUNT SUSPEDED?
Yep, the links is dead. Now let's see if it comes back up or if there's another copy of the game somewhere ...
ReplyDeleteI'll bet the link is dead due to it exceeding bandwidth or something like that.

I don't get it. Can someone explain what's so funny. What Kraken?

ReplyDeleteNope. Neither internet explorer or firefox can display the page.
ReplyDeleteIt's loading for me now! Will see how I go. :)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA That was pretty funny. =D
ReplyDeleteYay! The link is up and running again. I also killed the Kraken! ALL HAIL ME!!!I KILLED THE KRAKEN!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't get it. It keeps replaying the beggining for me. Am i missing something?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell I've done everything correctly but no crazy ending for me. Either this is a hoax or I'm a dolt.
ReplyDeleteProbably a little of both...

Caught me off guard, though.
Almost gave me a heart attack.
