Street Lover asks the question... why fight? Why not just not?
Pair two clauses to send compliments and small talk to your date. If you pick the pair that match, you'll deal extra love to them. But you'll still deal some love to them if they don't match, because they recognise you were trying your best and you meant well.
The first person to reach full love is OK. But it's alright if you're second, love isn't a race, we'll get there in the end.

By day, Carto City is a peaceful metropolis - parks, shops, everything you could need. But by night, robots roam, and they're more than happy to destroy anything squishy enough to pose a threat.
Chainwhack enemy robots to destroy them, build turrets to aid in fending them off, and chainwhack those to defend and repair them.
Establish a hospital for healing, a DIY shop to chainwhack harder and keep your turrets maintained, and more.
Most importantly, survive the night - the robots will succumb to sunlight at 6am sharp and you can use the wealth they drop to buy more turrets and upgrades!

There are nearly 200 capital cities of sovereign states on this planet. Some of them are disputed. Some of them are more than one word. Some of them are just the name of the country they're the capital of. And some of them are spelt exactly the way they sound to the letter.
Here are 86 of the other ones. Can you spell them?

A giant beefy boy with cannons for armpits puts on a show.
Delicately clasp your mouse and push it around to watch that hunky goliath sway as his high-calibre appendages shoot uncontrollably to the hip hop beat.
Fend off wave after wave of awry fireworks and mildly irate tank drivers and take us all to the gun show.

For every year since 2007, I have released an instalment of FKR, a growingly silly, largely-habitual series of arcade games in which you swing a bunch of thingies attached to your main thingy into some enemy thingies, while a big lightshow happens. This is the fifteenth in a row.
Hope 2022's a good one. Because we're due a good one.

It's 2038, and a late maniacal inventor has left behind a legacy of madness - coordinates to an island full of wealthy robots, a gun that asks questions, and a widow that's hired you to answer them.
As Izzy Buspec, the newest recruit to Randco, take charge of their patented revolver as you explore the densely packed biomes of Corvynnia, bringing down hordes of docile robots in a money-making adventure. Every time you fire, you'll have to answer one of over 2,000 trivia questions with answers based on numbers, percentages, geography, dates, and more - the further you are from the actual answer, the more of its own ammunition the revolver will discharge. If you run out, it's back to Randco HQ to reload!
Revolver and Co features 105 story levels across 7 unique worlds and 12 question themes which will test you on a wide range of subjects, tied together with humorous debriefings between Izzy and her maniacal boss before the start of each mission.
Or if you're looking for more of a challenge, have a go at one of the Endless challenges, which pits you against a barrage of questions until you finally succumb to an empty revolver chamber. You can even unlock more Endless challenges by completing the story levels, including a gruelling hour-long session where the only thing you have to lose is time.

Made in 100 seconds following a small joke.
Every second, the game randomly generates a number 0-100. If it generates the number 100, it crashes.
See how long you can last, or how quickly you can win. Or don’t, I’m not your mum.
Made in GameMaker 8.0 for a bit of nostalgia.
