This weekend I came across a flash based RPG by Sophie Houlden called 'The Linear RPG'. It really is a boiled down version of what many RPG's are. Essentially you make your character travel around and increase statistics like HP and experience, except in this RPG you are moving on a line so you can only go forward and back, but like other RPG's there is a gradient of moving from easy to hard, so you can't just go directly to the end, you have to back track and spend time in easier places 'training' before you can proceed to the hard places. Sophie did a nice job doing some 3d bending of the line to make the game more visually stimulating and having the story scroll by as text behind your character's position is a nice touch. It is a game that you can play through and complete in 5 minutes or less. And it is free and in browser. Enjoy a great idea that was well executed for a few moments. Play
