The Great Poop Shoot has been around for a little while now, and it’s been played over 40,000 times!  That’s not a very high amount of plays by any means, but I thought it was quite interesting how many of those plays were from China.

I’ve been a fan of the Metal Slug pixel art for some time now, but those games are old old news. If you really want to check it out and get spammed with ads, someone over at MetalSlugSprites.net has ripped a ton of images and animations from the game(more than likely illegally). It’s worth a look for study purposes, but please don’t use them for your games.

Metal Slug, I’ma let you finish, but… the other day I stumbled on a guy named Yuriy Gusev, whose art left me completely stunned. He goes by the alias “Fool” on some websites, including Pixel Joint. He runs his own website, Foolstown, which is a delightful experience in itself.

Each portal has a different submission process, but most of them want you to register. Expect to fill out a decent of information about yourself and your game before moving on to the next flash arcade.
