@Shyguymask Have you ever heard of or even played the flash game MARDEK 3? Imo, it's the best Flash game ever but it isn't well known so I wasn't really expecting it to be on here. The game is an RPG game and provides a good story, good battle system, good items, lots of play time, originality, etc. If you ever do a part 2 (which I think you should) I'd love to see it on there.
I remember once I played fire boy and water girl with my brother and I got so mad because we were so close to the end of one of the last levels and he accidentally jumped off the platform.
Yeah The levels was not only pushing blocks and jumping and solving puzzles like other games they had a unique feature There were lava and puddle of water in the game water girl would die if she touches lava but would be okay at the water same for boy but sadly my brother did not like it so most of the time i was alons
Duck Life? Anyone? Also, I would've liked to have seen Jacksmith in the honorable mentions at least. I can't even count how many times I've beaten that game...
Some other good Flash games not mentioned in the video: Age of War (both of them) The Bubble Tanks series Cactus McCoy Castle Wars The Deep Sleep and the Don't Escape series Diamond Hollow (especially Diamond Hollow II) The GemCraft series (this one pretty much got me into Flash gaming, and it's my favorite Flash Game series to this day) Give Up (both of them) Infectonator Into Space Obliterate Everything (especially the second game) Raze SHIFT Sushi Cat The Fireboy & Watergirl series Upgrade Complete
One of it was really buggy. I think it's the board game. Really sad becuase it's very good. If you played it you'll most likely know that the game freeze after you finish the first level, and if you refresh the tab all your progress will be gone. Never got a chance to get to level 2 ;(
i need some help finding a game ok there are three people a female nazi a soviet and an american they are in a building that you have to renforce to stop the ever more dificult zombie hordes and when you finnish i think about a week a helicopter gets you out of there i can think of it as clear as day but cant find it or remember the name
@@Shyguymask no this game i KNOW for a fact has a russian a female and a american who defend a building against zombies and the end of the game when you survive and a heli picks you up the chick is sleeping against the russian in the heli everything else is hazy but that i know for a fact is true in the game
It's a tearjerker that Flash is going away, but it's heartwarming that there's an effort to preserve flash games, and over 10,000 of these games have been preserved. That's a lot of games!
Kongregate Armor games Y8 Are some warriors who still fight for the flash games Honorable mentions (replies) Newgrounds, notdoppler, nitrome, kizi, max games, coolmath, friv, miniclip, ninjakiwi, a10, andkon, funnygames Ty for the likes and the mentions keep increasing lol
I crashed only when I used blade maelstroms. once used 50 at once in a online multiplayer match with my friend, managed to force us both out within 15 seconds
What's great is there is really no true way to narrow it down to 15. There are so many excellent choices out there and I think this is a solid list so kudos!
Omg,i completely forgot about that game,ah,i never had soo much fun torturing somebody,i remember that i didn't even knew a single word in english but i was still playing it,buying random things which i had no idea what are for and grinding money.
Help me. I bought a new computer and I can no longer download the Unity Web Player since it's no longer supported and now I can only play it on mobile :(

Yea me too.... as a kid when i played a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of flash games. like 200 or so. and i had such a great feeling playing them. now when i turn back i don't have that same feeling... I miss those cool games.... everything gets abandoned like Stick war empires :( I wish i could still play these games as a kid..
@@marcelag2342 YASSSS. Finally a stick empire player. Its such a shame the dev abandoned it for the mobile game. Welp i guess they had to make money and people pirating the membership didnt help
Eduxgamer_1000 there are so much flash games and each have their own opinion, for example, I think that elephant quest is one if not the best (I completed the entire skill tree)
flash games were my childhood; i remember being the first person in my third grade class to figure out that you don't need a friend to play fire boy ,and water girl. i was a very lonely third grader.
I think the Riddle School series deserved a honorable mention, or at leasy any of Jonochrome's projects. He was the inspiration for many creators and even helped to create Henry Stickmin!
This top 15 almost bring me to tears, and realize I'll never be able to burrow Flash. And not only because I'm a flash game creator. But mostly because those games just resonnates so deeply with my memories. I just can't burrow flash, sorry, I WILL install those mods to keep playing them!
Sorry im extremely late is there any way to keep playing these flash games? Sure there are cool math games, but there aren't ad many and as good as flash games
Shyguymask Hey man, thanks a bunch for making this video, it brought back some really great memories. And i agree, flash games are an important part of gaming history
There's a very good zombie game but i don't remember the name Your character is in another planet and there are zombies, guns, and some people that helps you to leave the planet
It is a great game but I prefered another game i think it was called sands of the coliseum or something, you literaly could just focus your crew on somebody and cut his head, arms or legs it was so funny but yeah swords and sandals is a very good game and its a shame that the flash games are going down
i feel like you forgot one game, its called Realm of the Mad God. Its standing on its legs still after 8 years, and is incredibly fun. Also thank you for including PR2, N game and BTD5, these games made my childhood
My favorites will always be: - Kingdom Rush - Bloons TD (Monkey City aswell) - The Last Stand - SAS - This is the Only Level - Dead Frontier - More Zombies Yeah i really liked zombie flash games.
Glaci Enora Could be the completely unnecessary Safari one, or the one where The Mayor just got killed and no one gave a shit. To be honest, the entire series was kinda poorly written, but it only made it better
@@gigagleb9842 It was made by non native English speaking developers, I'm pretty sure. They made other games with horrible voice acting done by non native English speakers, so that's a thing.
Favorites: Uphill Rush 4,5,6 Earn to Die Cactus McCoy 1 and 2 Age of War 2 Papa Louie: When burgers attack Swords and Sandals X (I believe) Happy Wheels Fire boy and Water Girl (all of them) Fly to the moon (atleast I think thats what its called) Learn to Fly 2 Jacksmith
RIP flash gtames u made my childhood wonderfull, I still remember how me and my friends got together in my ''rich'' friends house and took turns playing those were the good days
"Why is [x] not on the list?" Because I simply don't consider them worthy enough to be part of the list based on my criteria (quality/content first, originality/innovation second, popularity/impact third). But you're free to say your favorite thing about those games and why you think it's one of the best flash games. EDIT: With all that said, I think I'm actually going to make a bonus video featuring more Flash games that are obscure but great if not comparable to the games on the top 15.
Riddle school, come on man, you can't tell me it's not interesting, and you DEFINITELY cant tell me it's not popular. I hope you at least considered it for the list, cause it's a great game
jjef I agree completely that’s one of my favorites. He also edited the comment, it originally said something like “You guys have given a lot of suggestions, and I’m sorry as forgetting them as part of honorable mentions, they completely failed to enter my mind.”
Here's something, there are 309 levels in Run 3, and EVERY one of them can be beaten with every character playable on that level(some of them like the N-tunnel and The Way Back have limitations on characters due to the storyline)
how doe sthis list not include games like age of war and stickman war... They were so popular there was event mobile remakes from the pc game... Also: Pokemon tower defense 1 or 2?
Qendrim Jashari dude I’ve been playing rotmg for like 7 years and somehow it hasn’t died yet, the community is still strong and it’s gone through 3 owners (wildshadow, kabam, and deca). They’re porting the game on unity and it was planned in like September last year and they’re taking ages but it’s the only way to preserve the game
@@Ferraday bruh I used to play that quite often but I never got over tier 11 equip (which I only could sneak steal) that's why I abonded that game, but it was and is still quite appealing in my eyes
i got about 40 hours on epic battle fantasy 4 and more than 160 hours on epic battle fantasy 5 on steam, the game is goddamn awesome. If you wanna try it out, go ahead it's worth your time
I just hate the fact that these games are so underrated,i swear if you go to someone and ask:have you played ebf 5? They will be like:you mean final fantasy? I wish a big youtuber or something will play the game so the community will start growing
I will note that if you've played the other games, 5 feels a bit awkward until the VERY end since there isn't an apparent continuation from the last game. Don't let it gnaw on you too much, all will be made clear eventually... Also go check out Matt Rozask's other games.
I started replaying the series and when I was starting EBF 4 the 5th game just came out and I saw it randomly by going to Matt's NG page to see how's the project going. I completed 3rd game, have only 2 achievements to do for 4th and plan to start 5th soon.
Sad to see no Swords and sandals 2, plasma burst 1&2, Raiden X (epic gameplay and soundtrack), Raft wars 1&2 or maybe even Mario combat. But can't blame you for Mario Combat, it's short af. Like 2 games I played made it into this here though, good list overall.
@@od4361 I remember playing Raze 1&2.. They're awesome games, possibly one of the best flash games, I forgot their names cuz it was years ago since I last played them, but now you made me remember lol thx.
Thank you for putting The Henry Stickmin series in the video. I grew up playing Escapingthe Prison, Stealing the Diamond, and every other one. I remember when I was 7 years old me and my Dad were cracking up at the Falcon Punch scene in Stealing the Diamond
plazma burst shadez 2 age of war 1,2 stick wars hobo 1-7 raze robokill swords and sandals instead of this soul shit learn to fly 2 instead of 3 its obvious he isnt a 90s kid
The problem with SSF2 is that Smash Bros is primarily a local multiplayer game, and local multiplayer on PCs is much less accessible than on consoles. SSF2 has online, but in my experience it's extremely buggy. And the game obviously doesn't focus on offline singleplayer either. Lastly, the game pretty much scores 0 when it comes to "Originality". If the online didn't basically crash my game half of the time I try to play, it would be on the list.
2:40 growing up I didn't have a console of any kind. Up until I was like 11 years old, I only played mostly flash games. Super Mario 63 was my Super Mario 64 and I owe so much to Flash Games!
I for one remember the Gemcraft series of Tower Defenders, because they were unique in that they focused more on a gem's properties in a tower, trap, or amplifier rather than a ton of random towers. Let me put it like this, if you thought your top pick had a ton of tracks, Gemcraft: Labyrinth has 169 unique tracks. And it's sequel, Chasing Shadows for Steam is also in the triple digits for the level count.
Elephant Quest and Fancy Pants are great but they are short games even for Flash standards, especially the former. My personal opinion is that they didn't match the 15 games on the list in term of quality, content, originality and popularity/impact. While Strike Force Heroes 2 has a lot of content in the end I find it to be a fairly generic 2D Shooter. I was debating on if I should include Achievement Unlocked 3 or Fancy Pants on the list, in the end I went with AU3 because of its originality (as a series).
Strike Force Heroes was the greatest thing to happen to me as a kid. I remember the kids had to take turns on the computers because there were only 4 and how you weren’t allowed to play or watch violent things. Now that I think of it, Strike Force Heroes 2 has the strangest story but also the coolest in every boy’s eyes. The nostalgia flash games brings me is so immense and is something I will hold dear in my heart. I will miss flash games.
they're still here, either in the form of emulators or in the form of new web games that just happen to not be made with flash specifically newgrounds is a pretty damn good site for these but i think what you miss is less so flash games and moreso the *era* of flash games, i'ts not like i've got concrete proof or anything, but it does feel like less impactful stuff is being made on the web nowadays but something about flash games i find REALLY fucking odd, and i seriously can't even begin to explain this phenomenon, is that when flash developers move to steam they seemingly almost always lose just about every piece of knowledge they had about game development you can see this with super chibi knight, the remaster for SFH, knightmare tower (this is more of an honorable mention but seriously? no mouse support??) sonny, etc etc it's like the barrier between "extremely good flash game" and "actual game" has some supernatural effect that drives the game designers crazy 💀
also, i haven't seen anyone else bring them up from scrolling for a bit, so i'm curious, have you heard of, or played the submachine games? they're essentially the peak of escape room games although i have to warn you, the second game has a single math puzzle, and even after knowing exactly what to do it took me like 15 minutes to do the calculation cause i was never taught it in school 💀
The greatest thing about flash games is that they don’t take forever to complete, giving you more satisfaction than you would get from having to hunt down every single boring achievement in a console game.
lol saw thate rank 1 spot from a mile away. This vid hit me hard with the nostalgia. I knew every single game from this list. What a good way to spend my childhood. You will be missed flash games and i hope to see more from your talented developers.
Im part of the younger audience and I've played a handful of these games for countless of hours. Now that flash is going out, I really feel the sadness and nostalgia of everyone and for also I am sad for it to go. btw papa's games?, Fireboy and Watergirl?, Ducklife?? xD
@@IAm-zo1bo im 16 too, my birthday is tomorrow... its a great time to feel old😭😭😭 though i guess 17 is pretty young and i can get married at any time like a fairy tale
@@principal_optimism I'll accept that, most flash games from back then we're really simple, usually made by passionate gamers, not quite as much the big gaming companies who specialize in creating fun and addicting games like now. Same way Atari games suck to me but my dad loved them. Haha
Back a couple years before any io games all I used top play were whatever random flash games I could find. Fun times. Only games from the list that I've played are all 3 of the Learn To Fly games and Flight from the intro. Edit: And played Bonk of course.

The game at the top right of the thumbnail is Chibi Knight. Now stop asking.
Fun fact: Chibi Knight also appears as a boss in Epic Battle Fantasy 5.
Are you going to make a part 2 ?
Also, I think one of the EBF5 songs was inspired by Chibi Knight.
Actually, Chibi Knight is 3 bosses.

This top 15 almost bring me to tears, and realize I'll never be able to burrow Flash.

There's a very good zombie game but i don't remember the name
Your character is in another planet and there are zombies, guns, and some people that helps you to leave the planet
Madness Project Nexus. the combat was bloody and fun, the characters are decent
I remember spending hours on Swords and sandals. Wished to see that one. Still thanks for the nostalgia
swords and sandals!!!!! man that gives me nostalgia...
It is a great game but I prefered another game i think it was called sands of the coliseum or something, you literaly could just focus your crew on somebody and cut his head, arms or legs it was so funny but yeah swords and sandals is a very good game and its a shame that the flash games are going down

It's on steam now btw
Truth spoken
Realm of the mad god is moving to Unity and still had an active player base and being updated :D

the last stand was great
SAS is a legendary game
That’s fair some pretty good games in there
I realy like the last stand song from sabaton

Glaci Enora Could be the completely unnecessary Safari one, or the one where The Mayor just got killed and no one gave a shit. To be honest, the entire series was kinda poorly written, but it only made it better
@@gigagleb9842 It was made by non native English speaking developers, I'm pretty sure. They made other games with horrible voice acting done by non native English speakers, so that's a thing.

Jacksmith was one of my favorite flash games to play and I'd play it non-stop.

Favorites:
Uphill Rush 4,5,6
Earn to Die
Cactus McCoy 1 and 2
Age of War 2
Papa Louie: When burgers attack
Swords and Sandals X (I believe)
Happy Wheels
Fire boy and Water Girl (all of them)
Fly to the moon (atleast I think thats what its called)
Learn to Fly 2
Jacksmith
DeKoelePeer i believe "fly to the moon" is Into Space.
Cactus McCoy is amazing
My favourites were the zombie knight ones

"Why is [x] not on the list?"
Because I simply don't consider them worthy enough to be part of the list based on my criteria (quality/content first, originality/innovation second, popularity/impact third). But you're free to say your favorite thing about those games and why you think it's one of the best flash games. EDIT: With all that said, I think I'm actually going to make a bonus video featuring more Flash games that are obscure but great if not comparable to the games on the top 15.
Riddle school, come on man, you can't tell me it's not interesting, and you DEFINITELY cant tell me it's not popular. I hope you at least considered it for the list, cause it's a great game
jjef I agree completely that’s one of my favorites. He also edited the comment, it originally said something like “You guys have given a lot of suggestions, and I’m sorry as forgetting them as part of honorable mentions, they completely failed to enter my mind.”
I take that back, they said that in a different comment, this is a completely new one.

how doe sthis list not include games like age of war and stickman war... They were so popular there was event mobile remakes from the pc game...
Also: Pokemon tower defense 1 or 2?
Dylan ROTMG This dude was probably born in 2010
stick war* it is because the game is kind of dead i mean it only hav 100 players on empires and the creators abandoned it :(
Qendrim Jashari dude I’ve been playing rotmg for like 7 years and somehow it hasn’t died yet, the community is still strong and it’s gone through 3 owners (wildshadow, kabam, and deca). They’re porting the game on unity and it was planned in like September last year and they’re taking ages but it’s the only way to preserve the game
@@Ferraday bruh I used to play that quite often but I never got over tier 11 equip (which I only could sneak steal) that's why I abonded that game, but it was and is still quite appealing in my eyes

@@SuperHeroGame2100 stop aiming that gun at me!
Oh wait, you are dead... Huh.
SFH 1 was my childhood memories .
I used to play it when I immediately get home.
Anyone too?
i got about 40 hours on epic battle fantasy 4 and more than 160 hours on epic battle fantasy 5 on steam, the game is goddamn awesome.
If you wanna try it out, go ahead it's worth your time
I just hate the fact that these games are so underrated,i swear if you go to someone and ask:have you played ebf 5? They will be like:you mean final fantasy? I wish a big youtuber or something will play the game so the community will start growing
I will note that if you've played the other games, 5 feels a bit awkward until the VERY end since there isn't an apparent continuation from the last game. Don't let it gnaw on you too much, all will be made clear eventually... Also go check out Matt Rozask's other games.
I started replaying the series and when I was starting EBF 4 the 5th game just came out and I saw it randomly by going to Matt's NG page to see how's the project going. I completed 3rd game, have only 2 achievements to do for 4th and plan to start 5th soon.
@@rastko7261 good luck,ebf 5 is pretty different in terms of gameplay but i really enjoy this balance
I need to get EBF5 on steam now... But I have no money.
Sad to see no Swords and sandals 2, plasma burst 1&2, Raiden X (epic gameplay and soundtrack), Raft wars 1&2 or maybe even Mario combat. But can't blame you for Mario Combat, it's short af. Like 2 games I played made it into this here though, good list overall.
Wrong channel lmao
Swords and sandals and Mario Kombat were my childhood man
And Raze 2, of course.
@@od4361 I remember playing Raze 1&2.. They're awesome games, possibly one of the best flash games, I forgot their names cuz it was years ago since I last played them, but now you made me remember lol thx.
@@KnockoutDiep Aye no problem.
Thank you for putting The Henry Stickmin series in the video. I grew up playing Escapingthe Prison, Stealing the Diamond, and every other one. I remember when I was 7 years old me and my Dad were cracking up at the Falcon Punch scene in Stealing the Diamond
Oh yeah , fancy pants , good old memories.
6:43 i remember having nothing to do and playing the shield minigame for 30 minutes. I was very tanky.
Bro i fucking love I've been looking for this game forever
shield minigame is still really fun
Feels bad that it didn't make it, but Castaway 2 is one of my favorite flash games i've played. Many an hour was spent grinding out it.
yaas castaway 1 and 2 were great
Red Ball, BTD and the Snail Bob series will always have a special place in my gaming heart

First place should have been Smash Flash 2 but I agree
Same
The problem with SSF2 is that Smash Bros is primarily a local multiplayer game, and local multiplayer on PCs is much less accessible than on consoles. SSF2 has online, but in my experience it's extremely buggy. And the game obviously doesn't focus on offline singleplayer either. Lastly, the game pretty much scores 0 when it comes to "Originality". If the online didn't basically crash my game half of the time I try to play, it would be on the list.
true
@@Shyguymask still a Flash game
yeah either btd or ssf2
Glad that Fancy Pants made it in at least as an honourable mention.
Fancy pants adventure and cactus McCoy will always be some of my favorite games of all time
I played fpa on Xbox 360. Never forgetting forgotten Island level where i got stuck for 7 years.
2:40 growing up I didn't have a console of any kind. Up until I was like 11 years old, I only played mostly flash games. Super Mario 63 was my Super Mario 64 and I owe so much to Flash Games!
I for one remember the Gemcraft series of Tower Defenders, because they were unique in that they focused more on a gem's properties in a tower, trap, or amplifier rather than a ton of random towers.
Let me put it like this, if you thought your top pick had a ton of tracks, Gemcraft: Labyrinth has 169 unique tracks. And it's sequel, Chasing Shadows for Steam is also in the triple digits for the level count.
NO ELEPHANT QUEST, STRIKE FORCE HEROES 2, FANCY PANTS!?!? HOW DID THEY NOT MAKE IT!?!? I GREW UP WITH THOSE
Elephant Quest and Fancy Pants are great but they are short games even for Flash standards, especially the former. My personal opinion is that they didn't match the 15 games on the list in term of quality, content, originality and popularity/impact. While Strike Force Heroes 2 has a lot of content in the end I find it to be a fairly generic 2D Shooter.
I was debating on if I should include Achievement Unlocked 3 or Fancy Pants on the list, in the end I went with AU3 because of its originality (as a series).
@@Shyguymask *ahem*
Elephant quest is pretty long >:v
Fancy pants 2 and 3 (and now, super fancy pants on steam tho)
@@Shyguymask you know I'm all about that original Strike Force Heroes. You ever play that one, or just the second and foward? Just wonderin.
@@thatthonkingbandito2670 I played the first and second one I believe. Didn't really bother with the third one because everyone said it was inferior.
potato tomato strike force heroes 3 is better then 2
Strike Force Heroes was the greatest thing to happen to me as a kid. I remember the kids had to take turns on the computers because there were only 4 and how you weren’t allowed to play or watch violent things. Now that I think of it, Strike Force Heroes 2 has the strangest story but also the coolest in every boy’s eyes. The nostalgia flash games brings me is so immense and is something I will hold dear in my heart.
I will miss flash games.
they're still here, either in the form of emulators or in the form of new web games that just happen to not be made with flash specifically
newgrounds is a pretty damn good site for these
but i think what you miss is less so flash games and moreso the *era* of flash games, i'ts not like i've got concrete proof or anything, but it does feel like less impactful stuff is being made on the web nowadays
but something about flash games i find REALLY fucking odd, and i seriously can't even begin to explain this phenomenon, is that when flash developers move to steam they seemingly almost always lose just about every piece of knowledge they had about game development
you can see this with super chibi knight, the remaster for SFH, knightmare tower (this is more of an honorable mention but seriously? no mouse support??) sonny, etc etc
it's like the barrier between "extremely good flash game" and "actual game" has some supernatural effect that drives the game designers crazy 💀
also, i haven't seen anyone else bring them up from scrolling for a bit, so i'm curious, have you heard of, or played the submachine games?
they're essentially the peak of escape room games
although i have to warn you, the second game has a single math puzzle, and even after knowing exactly what to do it took me like 15 minutes to do the calculation cause i was never taught it in school 💀
@@fortnitesexman No, however, I have seen them when I was a kid.
The greatest thing about flash games is that they don’t take forever to complete, giving you more satisfaction than you would get from having to hunt down every single boring achievement in a console game.
Thanks for the info
and theyre free without transactions(for the most part)
lol saw thate rank 1 spot from a mile away.
This vid hit me hard with the nostalgia. I knew every single game from this list. What a good way to spend my childhood. You will be missed flash games and i hope to see more from your talented developers.
Im part of the younger audience and I've played a handful of these games for countless of hours. Now that flash is going out, I really feel the sadness and nostalgia of everyone and for also I am sad for it to go.
