Even without the SuperNova extension, you should still be able to allow Flash to run. Click on the lock at the left of a game URL, switch "ask (default)" to "allow", then refresh.

Yep. It's allowing me to activate the Flash thing still. And when it stops for good, I'll just switch over to Pale Moon. They're still running Flash and Java and don't plan to dump/stop either one. In fact, I just tested a Flash game using Pale Moon, and it loaded right up. It didn't ask me to give permission to activate Flash or anything. It just ran it like normal.

Kongregate no longer has many reasons to be played instead of other popular game websites. Especially now that they aren't accepting new games. Plus, a huge part of the flash community has moved to steam (developers and coustomers), due to it having more capabilitys. But I'm sure everyone knows this stuff.

Oh never mind, apparently in my Chrome settings for Flash I can still set it to "ask first" instead of just "block", but the switch is labeled in such a way that I thought using that switch would block Flash. That's just objectively poor design. At least I can play again.

It's sad that the majority of these browser companies won't allow the USER to decide for themselves whether or not to continue keeping Flash activated, but whatever, there are other options out there, thankfully.

This website was a part of my childhood. I played TDP4, Ballistic, Contract Wars, & Shellshock Live. I scammed people, they scammed me. I had fun trolling certain people on here. Sad to see this website go.

This is so sad, i played almost 10 years straight on kong, i gona miss it..... armorgames sucks before now and ever

big mood, big mood. i remember playing Bunny: How We First Met on this site.

End of an era for sure. I discovered room escape games and TD games on Kong. Lost various old accounts over the years but always turned up again when someone mentioned Bloonz, Gotmail or Murloc. I would imagine that someone somewhere will figure out a way to revive Flash games down the line somewhere. I still play games of the last 40 years on emulators, I can imagine a Flash revival some day. We'll have to wait and see. Take care Kong-Peeps, see you on the flip side ;)

Oh wow. Such sad news. I've been on this site for quite a while. Had a lot of fun playing these flash games after school/when bored. R.I.P. Kong

my friends while it has been fun it looks like by the end of the year we will have to say goodbye to each other. it is sad that this site is having to shut its door but atleast we can remeber the friends and memories we have made on this site, and who knows maybe one day we will see each other again on a diffrent website maybe even a website created to replace this one. all i know is that it was fun while it lasted we must say goodbye to each other. so my friends i say goodbye to you all and hopefully see you soon

Kongregate in its old form has signed its own death certificate. They can only shed users, not gain, since there are no new games. I don't know if they're working frantically behind the scenes to get something else and completely fresh set up. If they don't come up with something new and better within the next 6 or so months, it'll be permanently game over. The only people who still remain are those playing one or the other mmo game and in the most popular of those games, things are mostly focused on mobile, so half of those users aren't using the website at all, while the ones that were/are using the website are leaving and leaving and leaving... Itch.io is a half-decent replacement, but it's much harder to find the good games on there.

It's not the administration, it's the MTG. The Staff of Kongregate didn't even know that this was coming.

It was a good time. I wish I could discover Kongregate earlier in my life to spend more time here.

I didn't realized that Kongregate could shut down until today, and I wish this day would never happen. I really enjoyed myself on this website, thank you for all these years !

He even said please. You gotta help the newfigs out. Your attitude is only helping turn people away from this site. If your neighbor came by and asked a question would you just say "Gee, maybe try Googling the question, which has been answered before. ^sigh^"

My childhood

RIP Kongregate. I'll never forget you.
