Flash games have had a ton of different genres, some of which were fully original to them. For instance, the "trainer" genre was one that really took off in the Flash game industry. This genre-focused around training a character's stat up so it can defeat its opponents in automated combat. While it's not automatic, the Swords and Sandals series. Let's look at the first Swords and Sandals: Champion Sprint game.

To play Swords and Sandals: Champion Sprint, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

This series takes out the character management elements that the series is known for is ripped out, and the most management you're going to have is choosing what stats to improve. You start off by selecting one of three mid-game "legendary" gladiators to play as. You'll start off fighting against some weaklings that look like a starting character in any of the other games. You'll notice that the two fighters start off significantly closer together, which makes the movement mechanics of the other games less relevant.

After each fight, you'll choose an upgrade for your gladiator so you can continue on your quest. This continues until you lose, and then you'll be graded on your performance. Swords and Sandals: Champion Sprint is the most arcadey entry in the series, but that may appeal to you.
