Rip Flash, the peak of browser games.

Yeah. I miss Flash too. Back when I was an adolescent, I adored flash games. Like, I think my first exposure to Sonic ever was Ultimate Flash Sonic while we were on vacation, and I still remember it to this day.
Rest in peace, Flash. You’ll always be missed for our childhoods.

You’re just supposed to click the arrows on either side of the text, and particles should follow your mouse, and you can use the color selector to change the color of the particle.
There’s not really a goal or anything, just kind of a “do what you want and have fun with it” type of game.
Oh, now I get it. I clicked on the arrows and multiple different particles popped out (I only clicked 2, but still), and I can even change the color and everything!
Thanks for your help @ResinTheFuriousMage

‘Click Track Jack’ was my first game Click Track Jack - Live At The Pickled Squirrel | Play on gd.games
It’s a bit of a mess coding wise but If you can tolerate my sense of humour and guitar playing, then it has it’s moments, and it did get quite a few likes! I plan to go back to it at some point and finish the level where you get your guitar back from Barry the pub landlord.
As a lad, I used to work on games in the eighties (spectrum, amstrad), but never finished any!. Since 1986 I have hardly touched a computer, and sculpted for a living. My son got me back into this!
I’ve just put my latest game ‘Harelines’ on gdgames. @MrMen - many thanks for your help last month - I redid it and got rid of all the panel sprites, which was worth doing.

Hey @Davedorkmouse
Sorry you haven’t finished making any games for the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC, but if you were to actually get them published, you would be on the same level as @MrMen
Now, I did play your game “Click Track Jack”, and it really reminded me from when I kept looking back at old adult flash games and 2D horror games. Real great effort on your very first project!
Thanks @Joshington - I did explain to my mum back in 1984 that it was very important that I finish the game that I was working on instead of revising for exams as it would ‘make me a millionaire!’ - she still jokes about this - but how right was I? I think that in the end i just didn’t have it in me to finish something at that age, and coding games back then - it was damn hard!- so hats of to Mr men for finishing and publishing a game back then. It’s so much easier now!
Installed executable versions had not this issue overall at 4GB Ram and higher.
I and my testers had this game’s browser version tested with 4GB Ram on Win7. Strangely, some stuttering occured on some areas while playing the publicly available version on gd.games but it was acceptable.
.
On 8GB Ram and higher: there was no performance issue at all to observe while playing with the browser version.
So I think this issue might be browser related. (Since browsers requires more and more system ressources (conspiracy theory 
))

Good old Yeti Sports era. 
Some of those old Flash games had a “Boss Mode” while pressing Key:“B” ~ A random table chart appeared. 
@MrMen These Amstrad games or editors that you have created aren’t playable anymore on modern systems?
Have you thought about it to recreate your first titles with the GDevelop engine as a redux version?
Haha, those editors were sparse & basic tools and disappeared when I got rid of the disks they were saved on.
I think I’m the reverse of @Davedorkmouse - I could finish games in my earlier years but I’m really struggling to finish even a relatively simple game atm.

And so long also to write and to test!
Lack of motivation perhaps at this time.

It was so unforgiving back in those days and also - a very lonely experience - no forums etc.
Now I’m like Sly Stallone going back to settle old scores!!
