Flat Bangs

Flat Bangs was one of those simple, straightforward dress-up games that felt typical of the Flash era. You would find it on a website among dozens of others, a quiet little corner for a specific kind of creative play. It didn't try to be anything more than that.

You control the styling of a young woman's face and hair. The moment-to-moment play involves clicking through menus to select different bangs, hairstyles, and outfits, layering them on the character to see how they look together. The main objective is simply to create a complete look you find pleasing. Recognizable mechanics include a clear separation between hair, face, and clothing categories, with options that swap in and out on the character model. The pacing is slow and deliberate, without timers or scores. It feels like flipping through a digital catalog, a calm and undemanding way to pass a few minutes.
