Tidalis Lite -- Web Player Beta Version!

Or buy the game and stick it on a Jump Drive. Not that I'm encouraging you to slack off at work or anything

It's a phone support job with a lot of down time. In general I'm either entirely focused on a call, or I am staring at the ceiling. The IT staff is pretty crafty though, I don't think I could conceivably get a non-web-based game running there without someone coming over to slap me.

There are ways around everything.

Indeed.  If the PS3 can be hacked I'm pretty sure you could hack something there

Well, when it comes to the thin barrier between you and the unemployment line, you find yourself growing a lot more reticent about pushing the boundaries. Especially when others are relying on your income to keep them on this side of starvation. I doubt anyone is going to catch a generic web proxy, and I'm pretty sure I can beg forgiveness if and when someone comes to complain about it. But there's only so far you want to push it when you're looking at the difference between a living wage and nothing, especially in THIS economy. That's why I remain impressed with anyone who can make a living with an indie game company, and wish them the best of luck at continuing to live the dream.

I tried out tidalis lite, pretty impressive job porting it guys - I can see it being a big hit on something like armor games, or kongregate.

Oh sure, sure, I definitely am not saying do it, I am just saying it can be done.  I would never do it because it would feel like stealing from the company.
