e Fly Guy

The Fly Guy is a Flash toy/game/greeting card with lots to explore and a seemingly (but not actually) endless number of things to interact with. Nothing groundbreaking, just cute and amusing. Enjoy!

I got swallowed by a space fish.

very sweet! thanks! (i loved the robot dance, and how the cellphone and xerox machine send you back down...and the desert island!)

riffola - in real life, or in the game? Cause if you're posting from inside of a space fish, and this is a desperate plea for assistance, I'd hate to see it go ignored.

jonson, I got swallowed by a space fish in the game, but now that you mention it I am not too sure if I am posting this from inside a space fish or not, I'll get back to you regarding this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Any game that always ends with topless women and dancing monkeys is all right in my book.

Even if a space octopus did squeeze me until my head exploded (and I'm not saying if it's in the game or not!)

Thanks!

What a great . . . thingy. I particularly liked rocking out with the hair-metal alien guitarist.

Very nice. I like games that aren't really games.

For a while there, I thought it was going to go on to infinity. Too bad it had an ending.

Reminds me of a little-known Cyan game called The Manhole. You couldn't really _do_ anything, but you walked around and talked to all these eccentric characters. Good times.

this is wonderful -- i too, was about to mention the manhole, and cosmic osmo, which i spent many happy hours playing way back when.

i wish there were more games like this.

Cyan did something besides Myst??

I just spent my time waiting for the bus at the beginning. I'm still waiting.

Maybe I'm looking at life in the wrong way.
