What is Flatricide Pulgamitude Anyway?

March 1st, 2014 (edited November 3rd, 2022)

I recently released a small game called Flatricide Pulgamitude. This game is an experiment for me in pseudo-multiplayer game development. By that, I mean "I really like games you can play with other people, but I don't want to have to manage a real-time game server". Therefore, I set out to make a game that you could play with others online with only some PHP scripts and a MySQL database.

The result of that is a game in which you wander a strange abstract world built by people who have come before you. You can't see other people in real-time, but you can explore their work and build your own for others to find.

So why the strange name? The other impetus behind this project is a class competition to get a page to the #1 spot in Google Search for the term "Flatricide Pulgamitude". To that end, I'd appreciate it if you could share a link on your own site!

You want to check it out? Just click on this pulgamitude (whatever that is):
