A Uruguayan studio's first major project turned a portal sponsorship deal into the Flash browser era's most influential tower defense game — one that outlived the plugin it was built in by porting itself, tower by tower, onto seven other platforms while the original still runs today under emulation.

Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl's 2011 Flash roguelike sold itself for $4.99 on Steam rather than living free on a portal, and turned a three-month game jam project into the game most credited with dragging the roguelike out of niche obscurity — years before Flash's own limitations forced McMillen to rebuild it from scratch as Rebirth.
8 / 10
A two-person game-jam prototype turned into the browser's most influential permadeath MMO — a bullet-hell shooter where death erases your character entirely, funded on cosmetics alone at launch, and still running fifteen years later as a live game that quietly isn't a Flash game anymore.
7.5 / 10
A luchador launches himself out of Candy Land, bounces off gummy bears for distance, and spends the loot on permanent upgrades — Juicy Beast's February 2011 debut launcher, still readable today as the rough draft for the much bigger Burrito Bison Revenge a year later.
7 / 10
A 2011 Armor Games physics platformer that blends destructible-environment puzzling with a zombie shooter — praised on release for its atmosphere and inventive kills, marked down even then for controls contemporary reviewers described as sluggish and floaty.
7 / 10
A one-on-one, big-head soccer duel from the last great year of portal-syndicated Flash, still praised as "addictive" in Kongregate comments a decade after release — and still carrying a match-timer bug those same comments flagged back in 2016 and nobody ever fixed.
