Still a demo, technically, but far more advanced than some of the other stuff here!

Take control of Squeaky Bogg as he runs, jumps, and, um, falls through lots of levels filled with Dream Land foes. Watch out for cookies!... They're delicious!

This Kirby game actually plays like a Kirby game (other than the noticeable lack of Kirby, that is). It is a side-scrolling, enemy-eating, running, jumping, copying action-packed adventure that is not a single game, but rather multiple -- all playable right inside of your web browser! It features a cast of Dream Land characters playing the protagonist, such as Gooey, as well as some fan-thought-up creations.

(Requires Java, which pretty much every computer comes packaged with, anyway)

First, the bad news: some of the animation is sparse. Everything else qualifies as the other sort of news and should put other game makers on notice: hand-made graphics, a jam-packed rogues gallery, and a heap of abilities with controls beyond the single press of a button (like Fire turning you into a Fireball when you hold a direction). Kirby even gets a scuba-mask water gun and can turn foes into kickable blocks of ice!

Despite only being a few scenes on loop, this is certainly an example of what one can do with Game Maker when they try. Certainly wish more people would.

Kirby on Zebes is a great example of how fun it would be if Kirby was in an action-platform Metroid-type game. The game has a very nicely mixed graphical content of Kirby items, but with a Metroid feel. Very clever.

Must be installed to be played.
