Rename (Game): Scary Girl to Scarygirl

The Scarygirl game is named incorrectly as "Scary Girl" in the Giant Bomb Database: http://www.giantbomb.com/scary-girl/61-25891

Here is the link to the official Scarygirl product-line page:  http://www.scarygirl.com

The title in the HTML Page Source is "Scarygirl" among other instances where it's just one word.

Dude is right

Isn't it a browser game? If so, it should be completely deleted.

EDIT: yep, visited the site, it's a flash based browser game, and thus should be deleted from the GB database.

It's an indie game that was made using Flash, Box2d, hxphp, haxe and fwork cms but mainly flash. So to make the game more accessible they made it to be played on the internet.
Therefore if this should be deleted the Quake live! should be deleted as well.

Edit: I forgot to mention it has 16 nearly perfectly designed level design and also the gameplay is ment to be about and hour long

"Yeah, we currently don't want browser-based games on the site. This may change down the line, but you're exactly right in that we have to draw the line somewhere and at the moment there doesn't seem to be enough interest in this category to warrant giving them their own section. Additionally, our games/releases taxonomy is currently setup to primarily handle commercial products.

I think the other key thing is that we'd never want to have every Flash game on the site. The barrier to entry is so low there that it would just lead to us having a ton of bedroom developers cluttering up the site with links to the games they've made. Until there can be a meaningful distinction between quality Flash-based products and "DUDE CHECK IT OUT I MADE ASTEROIDS EXCEPT WITH BUTTS INSTEAD OF ROCKS," we'd be biting off more than we could chew with that stuff.

We also don't want any BBS door games or standard cell phone games, for the record.

I've got nothing against browser games, but a rule is a rule. We can't pick and choose which rules on Giant Bomb we follow."

  About an hour of gameplay. That's more that Braid. Braid was only 50 min on my watch"

Well I'm glad to have caused some controversy. I'm one of the designer/devs from Touch My Pixel, just so you know where I'm coming from.

I didn't actually add the game myself, but I did add some content. I'd agree that if you have a policy of no browser-based games then it's fair enough that you don't list Scarygirl. Does it make it more real that it's had a bunch of real paper-based articles written about it? If there was a download version available (exactly the same content) would that be counted, or would this only be if the user had to pay for it, even if that was only $1?

I'm asking these questions not because I feel any anger over people talking about deleting it from your list (though I'd miss it as this seems to be a great / extensive list) but because I think it's a great argument to have.

I remember a few years ago adding cheats (key combinations that did secret things) in an advergame I made for Disney. Somehow this made it feel more like a "real" game to me as well.

The argument of having to install a plugin might not be a great place to start though, as there is a range here. From Flash as the ubiquitous plugin, to Unity 3D to the PlayNow plugin which lets you play a bunch of games made using GarageGames Torque engine. Are tha games that are available online and off the only ones that can be listed?

How long a game goes. Does this make a difference. It's also quite personal as well. It takes me 35 minutes to complete the game, but I know people who have played for 4 hours and not completed it yet (while enjoying themselves the whole time).

Does the fact that the game has been talked about in blogs, in newspapers and podcasts make a difference?

What if it does win an award of some kind of IGF? Does it then get re-instated?

Hope we can hav ea good discussion about this ...
