Fails WP:GNG: the subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The current sources include 2 interviews (1 self-published, 1 on a defunct unremarkable game site), a rather short article on The Gameshelf (another defunct unremarkable game site) and a couple links to Jay Is Games (which per WP:VG/RS cannot be used to demonstrate notability). I looked for sources using the WPVG custom Google searches and found only more Jay Is Games coverage plus a whole lot of false positives for the word "submachine".

Delete. Was a notable subject 10 years ago, but today the newest game is 3 years old, and in a year from now it will no longer be playable online because Flash will be discontinued. (For anyone who can prove me wrong, please do so.) Georgia guy (talk) 00:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - does not appear notable. Further, having Jay Is Games be your main claim to fame is not a good sign. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 14:17, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
