Absolutely goated flash game. Some of the jokes and references are pretty dated and it was no graphical powerhouse, but this was one of the most engaging and smartly designed browser games you could find at the time. You're looking at a turn-based RPG where the combat loop revolves around stacking and interacting with many, many different status effects, rather than dealing direct damage. My absolute favorite was the one that inverts healing and damage; there are few things more satisfying than tricking a boss into killing himself with a heal spell. The story was interesting enough for kid me, and the minimalist, heavily shadowed character portraits looked cool as hell.

I miss Adobe Flash, man.
