We are preserving all your favorite flash games

As most of you probably know by now - Flash is dying and will be gone after 2020. For years we have been working on technology that can runtime-emulate flash games in the browser called AwayFL.

Nitrome ( Bad Ice Cream ) is using the AwayFL technology, together with Splapp-me-do (The Impossible Quiz), Pixeljam (Dino Run) and as of recently also Brad Borne with Fancy Pants Adventures! These games are fully playable in your browser and you can even play them on your phone.

Imagine a world where Adobe would have fixed the issues instead of stopping development.

It's truly a shame. Still to date nothing beats the ease of use of Flash for creative developers. Adobe Animate is alright but the export to HTML5 is horrible, full of bugs. So much potential there.
