clears throat. rubs my hands together like a fly
SUPER BOMB SURVIVAL (Polyhex)ive been playing this one since shortly after i made a roblox account, and its a real blast, pun intended. i have all the currently obtainable badges, all the gamepasses! there are so many ways the bomb spawning patterns and maps and events and players can interact & its never gotten old to me. visually awesome too, nice colors, fun lobby and a cute art style! its definitely in my top 5, if not my #1 fave
(would not recommend if fast paced games give you headaches. screen shaking can be turned off in the settings)
MIDNIGHT HORRORS (CaptainSpinxs & co.)discovered this one through somebody i knew back in 2020, remembered it existed recently, got back on and had a nice (albeit stressed) time. you pick a map, you spawn on the map, you run from the monsters thrown your way, thats about it! sometimes you use items to fend them off like yolks and baseball bats and speed coils. to me its kinda like a blend between nextbots and the next entry on my list
(would not recommend if you're sensitive to horror elements and jumpscares)
SURVIVE THE DISASTERS 2ive also known this one since my first months playing roblox, i dont remember how i discovered it but, like the others on my list its a nice change of pace from those rising lava games and cash grab obbies. back in my day they had eggman as a boss fight. tldr, objective: survive. you can go through everything like running from noobs, surviving a flash flood, running to a button that kills everyone not standing near it in a certain radius, fighting the grim reaper, sometimes theres hyper disasters or multiple at once. it is. so good please try it. gravity coil is numero uno priority imo
MAKE A CAKE (thebenster)another classic!! this is a sequel to "make a cake and feed the giant noob", by the same developer, and got a big revamp a few years ago. i played it in 2017 and lost all my data at some point which was very upsetting but i dont really care anymore. tldr objective: go make cakes boy
theres a recipe book you can fill, funny gear, a charming style, nice soundtrack, cool gui, so many frosting flavors to choose from, i Think theres lore theyre adding? you can turn yourself INTO A CAKE for goodness sakes. its such dumb fun i love it so much
bonus points: unless this is just a massive username-sharing coincidence- back in 2016 when blocksworld was still a thing (kids coding game basically, later developed a more social media-y aspect), i remember there being a guy on there named thebenster! so seeing he went on a coding venture and has a successful original game of his own in the present day makes me really happy <:]
WORD BOMB (iilwy & pollopollop)basically just JKLM's BombParty but on roblox. hot potato with a bomb, except to pass it on, you have to make a word with a certain letters in it in a certain order based on the combo you're given. it can make you feel like the smartest person on the planet or the biggest dingus ever. i think its a beneficial game to the brain despite how intense it can get, got me thinking about vocabulary & discovering words i didnt know existed due to some of the weird 3 letter combos it can dish out later on
(would not recommend if you're not good at thinking on the spot, altho you might be able to use this game as practice for that. it also may be difficult if english isnt your first language)
CAR CRUSHERS 2 (Panwellz)you crush cars! yeah. if you enjoy those videos of random items being put in shredders i have a feeling youll like this
sometimes you can race (altho theres been a bug stopping it from working properly in recent months). sometimes you fight other cars in derby mode. sometimes you participate in challenges like who can get the longest forward drift or longest airtime. sometimes you Nuclear☢️supriss
(would not recommend if: you're sensitive to siren/alarm noises, see the last thing listed. can get grindy at times)
TREELANDS (NewFissy + Suhreen)i guess you could call this a tycoon game? in which case, its one of the most relaxing tycoon games ive ever played. you pick fruit, sell it, and build a pretty treehouse. i love it so so much. its retired and no longer receiving updates, also not able to be played on mobile anymore, you have no idea how much that saddens me, but its still an amazing game thats worthy of support (and hopefully isnt too broken)
CHAOTIC BEAN SIMULATOR (SkyTheFloof)fun adorable time waster 'numbers go up' type game! has crafting and enemies/friendly npcs to interact with too. you are a bean and you bounce around and interact with the world. seriously. it is so sweet it is tooth rottingly cute
bonus points: sky is the person who made a huge chunk of the super bomb survival soundtrack, it's been really cool seeing their composing skills improve so much over the past 5 or so years!
(would not recommend if you have a vendetta against furries for some reason. also would recommend turning on low contrast mode in the settings, it can get eyestrainy)
