Wasn't sure about buying (well, VVVVVV is a classic and Super Hexagon *is* super cool, so everything else might be as well), but after the "overpriced" comment it was a no-brainer to buy. Thanks for making and sharing your games!

overpriced

(+8)(-3)

that is 5 games for $10, average single PC game nowadays is from $50 to $75, $2/game is dirt cheap

honestly youre kinda right tho, these games were free and still are on flashpoint, so theres basically no point in buying them again

It's nice to support indie developers though. :)

i don't think theres anything wrong with it. it's not like he's intentionally taking those games down. it's paying for convenience more than anything else, which i think is fine.

Oh wow, I remember playing Don't Look Back and Naya's Quest around the time those were freshly released!

cool

the flash game "dont look back" taught me about how some narratives can only be told with gameplay

I only knew about both VVVVVV and Mr. Platformer. That's all

watched some gameplay of Mr Platformer - it looks really good. SFX sound authentic. Nice graphics. Feels like authentic Atari 2600 but updated.

i am excited to play and cover these in my indie games newsletter. i love your games , Terry. VVVVVV is one of my favorites. thanks again.

I was just playing through Super Hexagon again (what a wonderful game, it's wild that a game with no character or story can make me tear up a bit at the end) so what a lovely thing it is to run across this in my email backlog.

I've only played Naya's Quest and Don't Look Back, which clearly means I need to get this and play the rest.

You've been making awesome games for so long, it's really just. It's a lot, in a very cool way.

DONT LOOK BACK MAN I JUST REMEMBERED THIS GAME

oh snap it’s Don’t Look Back!  I love your games! I keep super hexagon on my phone and VVVVVV is one of my all time favorites! Keep doing what you’re doing as long as you want to!

I've previously gone and found special deprecated Flash playing tools just to play through Naya's Quest again. :) This is very cool.

I honestly think that one would merit its own $2.99-style Steam/itch release if you wanted to publish it!

Nice

I appreciate this look into your developer backstory almost as much as I appreciate an obscure Simpsons reference. 💖

How did I not realize that you were the creator of Don't Look Back?! I think about that game at least once a year.

(+3)

fire collection! I was so sad when Flash's removal made these unplayable, so glad they're out there again.

(+2)

You made don't look back???  Amazing!  Thanks for releasing all these together.

(+2)

Ah, Don't Look Back my beloved.

Bless you for bringing the stuff back, especially since I never actually finished Naya's Quest.

Hooray, it’s Terry’s smaller games!

(+1)

I remember don't look back, I played it on coolmathgames, Good Times.

(+1)

To this day, Don't Look Back is one of my favorite games. I love the story of Orpheus, and the game's minimalist design really does the myth justice.

(+1)

Wow, I remember Don't Look back from ye good ol' days of Flash! I never knew that that was also a Terry game. - Short, as was the style at that time, but beautiful and emotive.

Does this include unfinished 3d game from 2023?

It does not, sorry!

(+1)

maybe you can add it as an update, for a second round of publicity!

Oh my god, I had no idea you were the one behind Don't Look Back!  I also love collections like this, so I'm very much looking forward to when I have some free time and playing these!

Edit: And Naya's Quest!  I've been a fan of your work longer than I realized!

(+2)

oh, wowee wow

Terry, your simple games are undeniably inspirational. I played Don't Look Back on my android and loved it. My kids love VVVVVV and played Super Hexagon to annoyance. I'm so glad you are able to provide such a wide range of creativity to the world. Thanks for all this!

So happy to see this.

I've been in love with online freeware games for a long time, which has meant a lot of watching good creators fade away, good games go unsupported and eventually unhosted. But Terry's an old-guard dev that not only stuck around, not only successfully transitioned to making epic commercial games, but also kept making awesome small-scale games the whole time. And with this collection, he's assembled a whole mess of those games into a clean gorgeous package, one that'll be much easier to support and host for years to come. It makes me very happy to see a freeware dev show this much love to their back-catalogue.

I'm very glad Terry's commercial games have achieved so much success, and I adore them. But his titanic backlog of cool-as-hell one-off freeware releases is still the beating heart of his oeuvre to me. It means a lot to see such a loved-on package of these games, some of which I played almost twenty years ago. I hope through this collection they get the chance to inspire a new generation of wannabe devs the same way they inspired me.
