Don't know what Flash Flood is? It's an event by the Clock Crew where participants submit one movie every day for the entire month of February.
Last month, Adobe officially ended support for Flash, even tried to block us from playing Flash content. But that didn't stop the Flash Flood from taking place. Unfortunately, us clocks weren't able to win any awards higher than Daily 3rd, no one got frontpaged, and no one won Underdog or Review Crew Pick.
The Flood was almost halted when a mysterious blammer started terrorizing Newgrounds and blamming our early entries. They have since been banned, but who knows if or when they'll return.
But it's not all bad news. We were able to submit Flash Flood entries for other overlapping events. D-Va participated in the Flash Forward Jam and the Friday Night Funkin Animation Jam, while I submitted two collab entries.
Let's recap what went on this February.
Flash Highlights
Here are some episodic shows created for the Flood. Two of them span the entire flood.
The Eldritch Ensemble by PannacottaClock: A house tour from PannacottaClock goes awry when a godly being traps all the guests in a pocket dimension.
Late Night with D-Va Clock by D-VaClock: A talk-show hosted in D-VaClock's room
Frog Flood by Anonymous Frog: a nonsensical show surrounding the journeys of the Anonymous Frog and a few other Clocks.
ThorClock Breaks Free by ThorClock: (almost) exactly what it says, ThorClock breaks free.
Clock Junior by RedbookClock: Clock Jr returns for its second season. To avoid spoilers, watch the first season
Jungle Adventure Flounderman by FloundermanClock: The stunning new prequel to Space Adventure Flounderman, (also included in the playlist) with cavemen.
Here are 10 of our best standalone submissions
