UPDATE ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2024: This website has been long ago shut down. The links have been replaced with links to Sploder Wiki pages for more information. You can also view more information about the website on the Sploder page on my website. If you want to try the Sploder Game creators, try out Malware’s Sploder Revival project.

To those who do not know, Sploder.com is a website that allows people to create flash games. It was created in 2007 by Geoffrey Gaudrealt. The means one creates such games is through flash applications known as game creators. There are five of them and they are the Retro Arcade Creator, the Platformer Creator, the Physics Puzzle Creator, the Classic Shooter and The Algorithm Crew. The Retro Arcade creator allows people to create games that look similar to old arcade games, the Platformer Creator allows people to create platform games, the Classic Shooter allows people to create simple shooter games.

people to create platform games, the Classic Shooter allows people to create simple shooter games. The Physics Puzzle Creator allows people to create games using nothing but controls, graphics, polygons and physics. The game creators that have been mentioned allow people to make two-dimensional games. However, the Algorithm Crew allows people to make simple “three-dimensional” games (though you only get to view the players from a third-person perspective).

These game creators are great for learning the basics of designing video games. Please note they are not advanced, so the possibilities are limited.

While you do not need to sign up to use the creators, you do need to sign up to save what you have created.

There is also a multiplayer game known as SploderHeads,  which allows people to make temporary rooms where users would shoot “cannon balls” at each other. It also allows people to chat to each other. However, the saves are not permanent.

They do have a discussion forum known as the Sploder Forums, which requires a separate registration from that of the Main Site. You also must be thirteen or older to sign up. If you want to be a moderator, editor (one who gets to feature games and send platinum awards) or reviewer (one who gets to write “reviews” on games), you will have to sign up.

There is also a Wikia for Sploder and a discord server (however, these things are not controlled by the creator of Sploder).
