<p>Fyrebug lets you heavily customize a whole library of pre-made flash games any way you want. You can upload images from your computer or pull them from other websites. Once you&#8217;ve added some custom images you can then tweak how you want them to display. </p>
<p><center><img src="http://indiestartups.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/picture-13.png" alt="" title="picture-13" width="500" height="424" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-96" /></center></p>
<p>Once you&#8217;re happy with your game you can share it with your friends and embed it in blogs and social networking profiles. </p>
<p>I managed to speak with Jonathan Widro, (one of the co-owners) and managed to get a bit more information about the idea behind fyrebug. </p>
<blockquote><p>My partner and I were working at 4kids Entertainment, and worked closely with flash games. We came up with the idea for Fyrebug, but kids cant upload their own images, so we decided to pursue the idea on our own.</p></blockquote>
<p>Designed and developed completely by Jonathon and his partner they managed to keep startup costs considerably down. </p>

<p>Here is a game I made depicting me and Mike Arrington having a play fight. If you have a few minutes have a play with the system and make your own game. I&#8217;d be interested to see what crazy situations indiestartup readers can create. </p>
