if you are using chrome so the steps are this

  1. Press F12 to open the developer tools
  2. go to the search panel and search .swf
  3. find the link with ungrounded.net and has .swf in it
  4. make a new tab copy and paste the link and put the link on the new tab
  5. when installed google will alert that the file is possibly a virus, so press the yes button (unless you get the .swf on a dirty website)
  6. Done, now you just find a flash player that you can play without using browsers like NG Player

This can be done in Firefox.

1) Open the page with the flash game on it.

2) Right click on the outer boarder of the page or any place where there is a blank space.

3) Click on View page source

4) Click on the three bars in the top right corner of the browser, open Menu and click on 'Find in This Page'

5) search for ungrounded.net, you should see it is a part of a line that contains an HTML link ending in .swf Like this example, (var embed_controller = new embedController([{"url":"https:\/\/uploads.ungrounded.net\/685000\/685958_example-game.swf?f1482003019","is_published".etc. etc.)

6) Highlight just the link, like so 'https:\/\/uploads.ungrounded.net\/685000\/685958_example-game.swf'

7) right click on the highlighted link and 'Save Link As' to save the file to your drive.

8) All Done!


Hope this helps.


Cheers

ZIP because your game isn't flash, is HTML5 also is a little more harder to emulate HTML5 games you need a local web server like Miniweb which is simple and cost nothing

It should be the same or very similar. Opera uses Chromium (just like Google Chrome), and their Developer Tools page just links to Chrome's DevTools page.


So simply open the developer tools in Opera:

And continue the same way as with Chrome ("Search" tab, look for ".swf", copy link, open link to download).
