Carrot Hunter

Carrot Hunter was one of those simple Flash games you'd find in the mid-2000s. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick distraction between classes or during a slow afternoon. The graphics were basic, the sounds were minimal, and it loaded in a browser window without any fuss. That was the point of so many games from that era; they were just there, ready to fill a few minutes.

You control a small, blocky character, moving left and right across a single screen. Your only job is to collect every carrot that appears. The challenge comes from the monsters that patrol the area. You have to time your jumps carefully to avoid them while snatching the vegetables. The controls are straightforward, just running and jumping, but the placement of enemies forces you to wait and watch their patterns. The pacing is steady, and the difficulty comes from the increasing number of hazards as you clear each stage. It feels like a test of patience more than reflexes, a quiet puzzle about movement and timing.
