Behind the Game

This game was a quickly done prototype to demonstrate that adventure games could be done in Flash for one of our potential clients. The interface is overly simplified, and there isn't as much animation that could be done, but the time it took me to put this game together clearly showed the viability of Flash for creating adventure games. This game is part of the Blazing Games Guide to Flash Game Development eBook.
