The second two are fixed but the dump link above for the Job Agency SWF is a repeat of the thumbnail dump link - have the swf link handy?

None of the "Wake Up the Box" games ever got featured on the front page, although the spinoff "Wake the Royalty" was. They're all Ruffled and in a series page now!

Fun mechanic in this one, was never featured:

In other Ruffle-adjacent news, we had a bunch of old Flash with weird characters in the filenames that weren't loading - those should all be fixed now.


Here's one revival for reference:



Also there are a lot of games to cover but I started tagging games with "shift-reality" if they have a mechanic that has you toggle between visible / usable platforms and world elements.

@olskoo do you think you can fix Retarded Animal Babies 5? Both ruffle and Newgrounds launcher won't load up the play button without resorting to right clicking. Also the subtitles near the end of the conversation outside and inside of cat's house are messed up.

i know it's on the spreadsheet, but when i last tested demons vs fairyland on NG player, ruffle and a standalone flash projector, the later had the play button work, but the former 2 didn't... is this the same kind of issue as the game you fixed above? i might be misremembering though, since this test happened... some time last year? maybe earlier?


also, is there any way to replace the unity web player games with webgl? iirc, some games on the spreadsheet saying plugin not supported were using unity (like oO). idk if only the original dev can do that though.


and may i suggest a "last tested on" for the spreadsheet? i noticed some games had improvements since they were put there. for example, when i tested paladin (aug 18, 2024), the only issue i came across (i didn't test the saves though) was the voice clips going quiet mid-text (which you can still read). and woah, it's been that long and i forgot to report? o_O sorry >_<

olskoo has fixed demons vs fairyland!


I messaged the dev about oO, to see if there's any chance of a WebGL replacement. I removed it from the Ruffle spreadsheet to avoid confusion there.


I probably should start noting "last tested" dates, although I do generally update the info if I notice changes in the game - I must have overlooked re-testing Paladin on the recent pass of existing games, I've updated it now to note what's currently broken!
