Two further games, Jellyboom (January 9, 2004) and Jaengban 369 (February 13, 2004) weren't renewed when Softmax phased out their original client software in favor of a browser-based interface on Aug20. In 2004, Softmax' also started putting several flash games on their service, most of which were parodies of existing games: The puzzler 4Leapop (January 9, 2004), the Platformer Cliff Stocker (March 31, 2004), the shooter and Rhapsody of Zephyr parody Rhapsody of Jelly (March 31, 2004) and the Castlevania-inspired Vamper Quillat (June 19, 2004) remained with the service until its end on April 30, 2009. It was replaced by Jellyppi Wars, a casual action game suspiciously similar to Bomberman or Nexon's BnB. However, the game was banned into obscurity by the far more popular competitor Cartoon Racer by Nexon, and Softmax quietly abandoned the game on Febru19. Three years later came the fun racer Dream Chase, developed by Artlab1 it was Softmax' first published game from another developer. The first was Changsegi World: Jusawi-ui Janyeong (February 12, 2004), a board game featuring characters from the popular War of Genesis series. Over time it was updated with extensive dress-up options and a couple of games where one could meet characters from former Softmax games. Softmax' first experience in the online sector wasn't the epic MMORPG one would have expected from the creators of The War of Genesis, but one of the avatar chatting clients that were all the rage in the early 2000s.
