Slenderfriend
I've been threatening to do so for a long time and I finally got around to it. I've made my first ever game, and in only 7 days!
The game is a procedurally generated... something that involves you playing Slenderman (from internet horror fame) who really just wants to go out and make some friends. Poor Slenderman.
It was created as part of the Lars Doucet's Procedural Death Jam in support of OpenGameArt.org.
Now remember, this is both my first game (which means it's probably not very fun) and my first conding project (which means it's probably not very stable) in 5 years. So with that caveat feel free to download the installer and give a play!
Download and play! (Only Windows PC, sorry Mac/Linux users)
*Update* A friend of mine found a bug and I've updated the game. The existing link now has the new installer, but you'll have to untinstall the old version of the game. If you haven't installed yet, then no probs :)
*Update 2* Here's a version for all you Mac folks:
*Update tres* Here's a version you can play in your bloody browser whydontcha! I've only tested Chrome. That is the only browser. Plus, if your machine isn't beefy enough, it might suck. Caveat emptor and all that.
Play in your Chrome browser yay Chrome!

I played for 5 mins and couldn't catch any friends! I was right on top of them pressing "J" and couldn't get them in the zone.
I then trapped a guy at the bottom of the screen and still couldn't get him in the zone.
Awesome, reinstalled with the new link and am able to catch some friends. Slenderman manages to be just as creepy in all his pixelated glory.
Game is a neat concept; the "FRIENDZONE" made me giggle to myself.
FYI, this is how I ended up playing your game (I'm a girl from Australia):
I manage the company Twitter account > we use Telerik controls in our apps > I follow Todd > his retweet brought me here
My friend once made me a version of Pitfall for my birthday so I think what you've done here is pretty cool ^^
Is the "Slenderman" theme original? Like the tune.
Thanks for making the game available on the web and Mac, too. :)
