Nope.

What the world needs now is a Seinfeld HTML game to unify everybody.


Seinfeld was never good

Okey-dokey, and you’re listed as female on your profile.

So individuals have individual tastes independent of gender, unsurprisingly.

my mom liked the following game genres:


  1. skill games: Zuma, Candy Crush, Bejeweled, Bloons, Bomb It, filler, bubble shooters, Windows pinball, Pick Up Adam Eve, more
  2. management games: Café World, Pot Farm, Penguin Dinner
  3. puzzle games: WoW Connect 2
  4. tower defense
  5. point-and-click: many high-quality Shockwave difference or hidden-object game
  6. escape games: Submachine and many others
  7. sandbox games: Rollercoaster Creator


there is a trend, I think.


some are here:



tried to list the true OG games. I think some were so old and so extremely popular and so common and had so many clones, it is very unlikely to find them. and Kongregate's website design keeps getting worse and unusable

I believe the trend is:


  • simplistic game mechanics that reward very high mouse skill, quick thinking, keen eye and difficult logic, with short levels but hundreds of levels of increasing difficulty
  • eye-candy pleasant visuals
  • games with very long-term rewards given very long-term commitment without backstabs or losses
  • games with a lot of customization and sandbox
  • social elements, like friends, leaderboards, profiles, gifting and sharing


my mom doesn't play games anymore, at all. previously, I think they filled these psychological roles: bragging rights over her peers, sense of control and domination, and stress-relieving.

my mom never played dress up or dating sims. regarding adult themes, my mom would find funny gore and politically incorrect stuff. I remember she prohibited me from watching her play certain horror games, they were point-and-click escape games I think, I have no clue because I feared those games


if you really want to target women, you need to think about their political and social roles as women. women have stressing lifes, either as moms, manual labor or office jobs, they have to work very hard to overcome stigma and struggle to grow in their careers or raise children. men are unfair to women, women are unfair to women. then they want to sit down and for the 5 fucking minutes of peace they have spare, kill some time in some relaxing or fulfilling game, and do the same thing, day after day

Good! Any suggestion to which kind of men could be added


Fit and muscular bodies are good to quickly attract an audience, it would also be nice to have other body types, like skinny, chubby and fat!

For their ages I would say anything above 19, add different skin tones too!

Also I really like your idea for a dating sim or dress up game

Yeah that's a good point. I will draw some characters and send them here or in Private messages if you want.
