Browser Game Pick: The Beggar (Scott Brodie)
The Beggar has been thrown out of the castle and now it's your job to help him beg his way back in.
Our smelly hero can beg (via the spacebar or down button) in the hope that passers by will dig deep and help him out. This money can then be used to buy food or saved up to buy a pass back into the castle. Make sure you don't go begging near the police, though, or you'll find yourself being dragged away!
There are 4 different endings to find, with gold to collect and people to befriend. Play it over on Brodie Games. A link to download the game can also be found there. (Thanks to Daniel Cook for the tip!)

Cute and I have fun stealing/asking for money.
The 4 ending stuff was a good idea.

Got ending 2 and 3, funny and weird game.

Got 1, 2, and 4...didn't feel like playing again to figure out 3. Fun little game though.

I got all 4 endings, but I have no clue how I managed to get the only non-obvious one.
Well, anyway, I'm not at all a fan of "art games", so I didn't enjoy this much.

I...don't quite get what happened in ending 3. Nor about what's with the fisherman who eventually "leaves" and shows some statistic.

Played it for maybe 5mins. Eventually one of the police(?) npcs grabbed me and started dragging me to the left. Just after that it tossed me a building over and I couldn't move anymore.

The fisherman dies. The "statistic" is a tombstone.
