While the brilliant project Ruffle continues to be developed (specifically for ActionScript 3), we decided to try to make it a little easier to play Flash games, at least on the computer. While there are solutions to download older browsers and/or older versions of Flash, there is one solution that is still supported by Adobe. To boot, it also doesn’t split your web browsing experience across browsers. That solution is to download the flash file and open it in Flash Player for desktop. The problem is that this process is tedious…

So, we decided to automate it to make it possible with the click of a button! We created Pull Up Flash. Pull Up Flash allows you to click to open flash content in Flash Player. This means, you can start playing Bloons Tower Defense 4 from Game 103 with a click of a button from the game page. Pull Up Flash works in all Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, etc.) and Firefox. You simply need to install the program and get the extension. More details are available on pullupflash.com, but we hope you enjoy!

Here is a video showing Pull Up Flash in action:

We are exited to announce the implementation of Ruffle on Game 103. Ruffle is a tool that automatically transforms Flash content into content that can be run without Flash. With Flash being discontinued at the end of 2020, this means running Flash content, which includes lots of Game 103 games, will be harder than ever. With Ruffle, Game 103’s library will still be easily accessible. To use it now, simply click “Play in HTML5 (Beta)” under Options on any Flash game page.

Ruffle is still in the works. At the time of writing, most older games work as Ruffle has implemented a significant portion of ActionScript 1 and ActionScript 2. So if you find a game that doesn’t seem to work, be sure to go back to playing it in Flash for now. We eagerly await further progress on this fantastic project!

We’ve released a new game called Cocoa Town! In it, you play as Cocoa as he delivers ice cream to the houses in the town. Angry tennis balls will chase you if you get too close and you’ll lose if you get hit by them too many times. You can use power-ups to avoid them. Also, every time you play the game, the town has a new layout!

You can play Cocoa Town here: https://game103.net/game/cocoatown

In addition, with the money you earn from delivering ice cream, you can buy items for your dog house. These include fully-readable books like Peter Pan and The Jungle Book, TVs you can watch YouTube videos on, speakers you can use to play music files, picture frames that you can display your pictures in, newspapers you can use to embed Twitter feeds, computers you can use to browse and search the web, and more!

The game is HTML5 meaning it will work on standard mobile browsers. However, while the gameplay itself works in all major browsers, Chrome and Safari have trouble correctly displaying some of the items in the house as of the writing of this post. Firefox displays everything correctly as it does not have the bugs that Chrome and Safari do.

As of today, all of Game 103 (including games!) can now be used offline on supported devices (given you have already visited the page you want to access). Any page you visit while online will be cached on your device. Then, if you try to access the page while offline, the cached version will be displayed to you. This works with games too! So, if you play a game online, you’ll be able to access the game again offline. I hope you enjoy this new feature!

Recently, the Game 103 blog has moved on to the Game 103 main site. It now shares the same template as all the other pages! We’ve been making a few updates here and there too. For starters, the navigation bar now contains links straight to the most popular games of various categories. In addition, all the source code for Game 103 is now available on GitHub! We hope this helps you with your site. We’ve also been adding some HTML5 games to the site to try to increase our support for mobile devices. Enjoy!

Duck in a Truck is finally available on Android. You can get it here. I hope you enjoy!

Game 103 has recently transitioned to use https for a secure connection. This means that no one can change the information being sent between your computer and Game 103 while it is in transit. Every page has been updated to use https. Additionally, all Game 103 games have been updated to connect securely over https. Some games not made by Game 103 on the site use http to fetch data, so this may result in mixed content warnings on the pages for these games. I hope you feel comfortable accessing Game 103-made content securely.

A new feature has been added that will post a link to a somewhat random game every morning on Facebook and Twitter. A game can not be the daily game game again until twenty days after it was game of the day, and there is a slightly higher chance that a Game 103 game will get to be the game of the day than other games. Be sure to like Game 103 on Facebook and follow Game 103 on Twitter if you have not already!

In addition to this, a page describing the stories behind many of the Game 103 characters has been added to the site as well. This is intended to be a fun page where you can learn about your favorite Game 103 characters. You can see the page here: http://game103.net/characters.

Thanks for you support,

James

Game 103 is happy to announce a new valuable addition. For many years, I (James) have been the only one working on Game 103. However, as of today, my fiancée, Kasey, has been granted access to add games and videos to Game 103!
