Browser Game Pick: William and Sly (Lucas Paakh)
Tom Fulp of Newgrounds sends this beautiful mixture of exploration and collect-a-thon our way, and who are we to argue? William and Sly is the story of one fox's journey around a vast landscape and it's wonderfully charming and peaceful.
The playing field is absolutely huge and takes a good amount of time to just run across. There's also tons of hidden pathways under the ground too, so expect to run for quite a while. There are mushrooms to collect, runestones to activate, Darklings to destroy and treasure chests to open.
I'd suggest you make sure to activate the first runestone on your travels before you continue - that way you can pick up the map from William which makes the game much easier. Give it some of your time (possibly a good hour) over at Newgrounds.
Comments
Not really my kind of game, but it was alright. The graphics were very nice. Do you get any bonuses for collecting all the mushrooms? I didn't feel like running into walls anymore so I gave up.

I was fine with it, up til the boss....and then i quit out of anger of trying to find a pattern to the boss movements, and failing after seeing that it was futile in its current form unless you are really lucky to keep from getting your faries eaten/whatever, i mean i kept trying to trick it into going with mouth open higher/lower but always proved futile...liked everything else...

From what I can tell, the pattern for me just alternated going high and then low. If all else fails, you can just wait for five faires to spawn and make a mad dash to the teleporter.

Fun little game, was wondering, how do you unlock the wings? Do you just sit on the pedestal for a while?

Nevermind, I answered my own question.
The wings make everything more fun!

Clearly most of these designers their games don't abide by the "do something new and original; if not do nothing at all" rule.

SPOILER FOR THE BOSS BELOW:
The pattern for the boss is as follows: It passes once with mouth closed which won't eat your flies, then once with mouth open which will eat your flies.
The pass with mouth closed will signify where it won't pass with mouth open, so the strategy is to always just make sure you're in the same height as it just passed mouth closed, and you'll be safe.
