THE DAILY CLICK
Rating: 8/10
Moderation: 7/10
This is a large site containing everything Klik, from the worst games to the best games. It is reasonably well moderated and provides all the Klik content you could ever need, from articles explaining coding techniques, to graphics courses, and downloads to all of the latest games, this place most likely has what you're looking for.
KLIK ME
Rating: 9/10
Moderation: 9/10
This site is considered 'elitist' by many Daily Clickers, but it's a great, professional site, and contains downloads to games that are the cream of the crop in Klik. Only the best games make it here, so this is the place to look for guaranteed quality. It is well moderated and is definately not the home to any complete idiots. It reminds me of Total Klik, which is definately not a bad thing.
KLIK UNION
Rating: 7/10
Moderation: 8/10
Considerably smaller than most other community sites, it's only because it's one of the newest. Forum-based, it works quite well and because of its relatively small size compared to the other community sites, is also moderated well. Similar to The Daily Click, visitors can submit their games and previews and the like, and you'll probably find that this and Klik Island are the friendliest communities around.
CLICKTEAM
Rating: 7/10
Moderation: 6/10
Home of the creators of Klik 'n' Play, The Games Factory, and Multimedia Fusion, the keys to Klik development. The forums here are quite boring but reasonably moderated most of the time. This is the best place for product information that you'll ever find. You can also buy one of the Klik tools online if you can't find it in your local area. This place also has heaps of patches to fix your programs up, and also houses some extensions that you can use to make your tools more powerful.
- DEVELOPERS
FALLEN ANGEL INDUSTRIES
Quality: 9/10
Quantity: 8/10
Fallen Angel is my personal favourite Klik developer, along with Natomic. They produce some high quality, extremely popular games that are well designed and also well put together. FAInd have produced hit titles such as Furry, Siege, Factor X, Super Ken Senshi, Commando, and Streambolt. You're guaranteed to find a good quality title to your liking here.
NATOMIC STUDIOS
Quality: 10/10
Quantity: 7/10
Natomic are a professional group of Klikkers that produce the highest quality Klik games around. Their talents are amazing and their games are quite brilliant, even if a lot of them are short. Amongst their creations are Bananarama, Side Swipe, and The Spirit Engine, possibly the best Klik game ever. Natomic is easily on par with Fallen Angel as my favourite developer group.
BLACKEYE SOFTWARE
Quality: 10/10
Quantity: 5/10
Blackeye Software no longer use Klik products, but you can still download some of their Klik achievements such as Eternal Daughter and Diabolika at their homepage. Before The Spirit Engine, Eternal Daughter was the largest and most well known Klik game around.
EUPHORIC RUSH
Quality: 7/10
Quantity: 6/10
Euphoric Rush is maintained and run by Chris Street, aka. Circy, one of the main men at The Daily Click. He's a responsible administrator and also has a unique graphical style that is loathed by some, and loved by others, including me. He has produced games like the beloved Mr. Stumps Dentures, Sam The Slug, Smidgets X and Zone Runner 1 and 2. While not quite as professional as the higher class groups, Euphoric Rush only has one member, and I think it's doing quite well considering.
DARKSUN GAMES
Quality: 8/10
Quantity: 6/10
Darksun Games is Anthony Lopes, an extremely talented artist and coder, and creator of such great works as Triumph! War 2099 and a nice range of beat 'em ups, you'll find these games quite to your liking. Triumph! War 2099 is the closest and best example of an action / strategy game yet.
VIRTUALLY REAL
Quality: 8/10
Quantity: 6/10
Virtually Real is one of the oldest Klik groups around, and they've produced some of the most well known titles ever. Destruction Carnival by Charles Tumino, and presented by Virtually Real, is often hailed as the best freeware title ever, although I have to argue that The Spirit Engine surpasses it. These guys will almost definately have something to your liking, even if their site suffers from extreme inactivity.
APOCALYPTIC CODERS
Quality: 8/10
Quantity: 7/10
Apocalyptic Coders, or Acoders as they're known by their affiliates, are one of the highest quality Klik groups out there, and they're also responsible for a good number of games, such as Deli Dash and Bubble Ghost. Their site is professional and well set out and includes goodies such as an 'AC Bucks' reward system and objects that you can purchase using them.
OVINE BY DESIGN
Quality: 8/10
Quantity: 10/10
Ovine By Design is a great Klik group that produces a large variety of glorious cartoon games and others, with great dedication to making them as fun and as visually pleasing as possible. Some of the earlier games aren't as pleasing, but Ovine are responsible for Imogen, and Echo The Mouse amongst others, and are now one of my favouite groups. A recommended site to visit.
SMEGSOFT
Quality: 6/10
Quantity: 5/10
Smegsoft is run by Jon, a good friend of mine and one of the main men at Klik Union. Amongst their creations are an upcoming platformer called Lenny's Adventure, and some nice applications. You'll find their site's design rather tasteful and quite professional.
HERETIC EMU STUDIOS
Quality: 7/10
Quantity: 7/10
Heretic Emu Studios is a fairly well known group of Klikkers that have produced titles like Pipe Defender, a vastly underrated game that shines with creativity, and have promising titles like Mayhem 3 up and coming. While you're there, make sure to ask them to continue with Dr. Mephistex, a seemingly abandoned but awesome-looking game. Download the trailer from their site if you have any doubt.
