FOUND! It was Wink the game, not Winx the game!
This was a flash game in the early 2000's that I cannot remember the name of. It was an adventure game, where you play as a generic bald humanoid, and you're exploring a castle (?). I'm going to try and list out everything I remember; please let me know if you have any idea what it could be.
- A vague title comes to mind, but I'm not sure if it's correct or even related to the game: Blinx, or maybe Winx. It has nothing to do with the Blinx the Time Sweeper or Winx Club, and a few searches for "Blinx flash game -time", etc. didn't turn up anything.
- I probably played it on Addicting Games or Newgrounds, but I couldn't find it on either site. (They might be there still, I just don't know what to look for.)
- There are enemies wielding staves - I remember that there's three kinds of staves, one that shoots fireballs and one that has a short range lightning blast (and the third is presumably ice, but I don't recall exactly). You can pick up and use these staves, but I seem to remember that they have limited uses.
- The aesthetic was pretty developed for a flash game - I think I remember the graphics being very good for an amateur game, with shadows and good effects comparatively.
- There's a mechanic involving "sneaking" into the background, where you can pass by enemies without attracting their attention. I think I remember that this was how to attack enemies when you didn't have a staff, emerging from the background (or pulling them into the background, maybe?) let you grab and use their staff.
Any help is appreciated!
