FunOrb is a [[Web Games|gaming site]] created by [[Jagex Games Studio]] as a sister site to the popular MMORPG ''[[Runescape (Video Game)|Runescape]]''. It features a wide variety of [[Casual Video Game|Casual Video Games]] spanning multiple genres, ranging from simple board games like [[Chess (Tabletop Game)|Chess]] to more complex games like its most popular attraction, Arcanists.
 
The site can be found [http://www.funorb.com here].
Line 23:
** Sumoblitz has a charge meter that gradually fills, granting you a special burst attack when it's full.
** The Verne Cannon in Dr. Phlogiston Saves the Earth must be charged up.
* [[Chess (Tabletop Game)|Chess]]
* [[Collision Damage]]
* [[Color-Coded Multiplayer]]
Line 30:
* [[Dead Character Walking]]: A minor programming oversight causes mecha to not die until their hit points are negative- meaning that mechs with precisely zero hit points will cling to life with an empty health bar until they are felled by a stray point of damage. Although this glitch isn't much use against [[More Dakka|machine guns]] or [[Death of a Thousand Cuts|lasers]], it is immensely satisfying to complete a [[PvP|Fleet]] [[Capture the Flag]] objective while technically dead.
* [[Death Course]]: Tomb Racer, complete with [[Indy Escape|Rolling Boulders]], [[Bottomless Pits]], [[Smashing Hallway Traps of Doom]], [[Laser Hallway|Deadly Lasers]], [[Troperiffic|and more]].
* [[Death Is a Slap Onon The Wrist]]: Tomb Racer. [[Have a Nice Death|A snarky message]] and [[Grave Humor|a tombstone on the spot where you died]], and you're back at the start of the room.
* [[Difficulty Byby Acceleration]]: Several games, including Bouncedown, Pixelate, Deko Bloko, etc.
* [[Directionally Solid Platforms]]
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Arcanists has spellbooks for [[Playing Withwith Fire|Flame]], [[Dishing Out Dirt|Stone]], [[Making a Splash|Seas]], [[Green Thumb|Nature]], [[Casting a Shadow|Underdark]], [[Light'Em Up|Overlight]], [[An Ice Person|Frost]], [[Shock and Awe|Storms]], and [[Time Master|Cogs]].
* [[Every Ten Thousand Points]]: This is how you get a [[One Up]] in Wizard Run.
* [[Expansion Pack]]
Line 41:
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Several of the games are obviously heavily based on classics like [[Asteroids]] and [[Arkanoid]].
* [[Freemium]]
* [[Gaiden Game]]: Armies of Gielinor is a [[Turn -Based Strategy]] set in the same universe as ''[[Runescape]]''.
* [[Game Lobby]]: Used for all the multiplayer games. A unified lobby system to unite all the games was planned, but it's been stuck in [[Development Hell]].
* [[Grave Humour]]: Miner Disturbance's [[Game Over]] screen is a gravestone with a witty epitaph about your cause of death. Tomb Racer plants gravestones and treats the player to a snarky farewell on every death.
Line 70:
* [[Point Build System]]: Sumoblitz and Steel Sentinels.
* [[Power-Up]]
* [[Real Time Withwith Pause]]: Shattered Plans has simultaneous turns.
* [[Recursive Ammo]]: The Arcane Bomb in Arcanists is a grenade that releases three smaller projectiles when it explodes.
* [[Revive Kills Zombie]]: "Overlight" spells in Arcanists deal less damage than some of their elemental counterparts against normal targets, but against [[The Undead]], their damage is doubled, and the healing spell becomes a damaging spell with [[Home Run Hitter|enormous knockback]].
Line 87:
* [[Vertical Scrolling Shooter]]: StarCannon
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]: Arcanists, Armies of Gielinor, and Kickabout League.
* [[World in Thethe Sky]]: It is possible to destroy parts of the map in Arcanists, but even when there's nothing under the pieces, they remain afloat. This applies from the hugest chunks to the tiniest specks.
