What follows is a review from PlayThisThing.com
I screengrabbed it, because they're probably going to fix the "little" thing at the top, and I want to continue to take the piss out of them.
Here's me taking the piss out of them.

A brand new game, EVERY DAY over Christmas!

If you've an idea for AGameAWeek, let it be known in the comments below!!!
Meanwhile, thinking time...

54 games. Last year I only managed about 30-odd, so I think that's pretty good going.
Sure, it might not have truely actually been A Game "Per" Week, but I did at least keep the ratio up.
If I hadn't taken the time out to build the framework, I probably would've actually achieved the target a little better
The stats show I was pretty much on top of things up until that point, but then things got slower and slower until my buffer zone was all dried up.
Anyhoo, this is a n...

Am I still doing that 90 minute thing?!
*shrugs*
Seems to have faded out a bit. Oh well, no matter..
Today I spent about 2 hours working on this.

A tragic tale of my own devising.
Stringy Things DS is incredibly playable.
Ask my mum.
She plays it ALL the time..

I've not done my "90 minute" challenge again, today.
Well, I did spend about 6 hours figuring out the iPod development stuff, but that wasn't the point of the 90 minute thing, really, was it!?
Anyhoo, no matter.
There's a silly "Vuvuzela Hero" picture going around the net, and I think it started (URL "https://blog.gaborit-d.com/vuvuzela-hero-legend-of-africa/">right here), although I'm not 100% sure.
If you're a regular, you've probably played my stupid Cowbell Hero game, and I fi...

No fair, I missed yesterday
Blame Apple. They sent me my iPhing Dev License, and I spent the day playing about with that, and installing everything again...

This was 95% done last night, with only a minor tweak this morning..
But it was far too late, and I couldn't be bothered faffing around with the three OS's, trying to compile everything for everyone, so... well.. Here it is now!

You could say that this week's been a bit of a cheat. An update isn't REALLY a whole new game.
But then, I also made <a href="https://AGameAWeek.com/?p=656">ScoreRack</a>, this week, too.. So it all evens out!
Good stuff!

An early caffeine fuelled start has lead to a nice NeonPlat trailer, which actually took about two hours... But who's counting!?

I didn't keep a track of how/when I pieced this together, mostly because I kinda just jumped into it this morning, but it went ...

A little rushed, today, but still managed to slot my 90 minutes in.
Today's productivity probably isn't useful to 95% of readers, but I spent the time tweaking the Upload Gallery, over at Socoder.net.
The gallery no longer attempts to load every single thing you've ever uploaded all ...

For my second half, I decided to try my hand at some music.
Here is a possible theme tune for NeonPlat2.

I'm off to watch the season finale of Stargate Universe!
Meanwhile, here's my first 45 minutes.

Well, that didn't go to plan, but it's not entirely awful, either.
In fact, it's turned out so nicely that I've even added it to the Archive.

It's that time of year again, where everyone goes absolutely nutso over some stupid game of football.
In the coming weeks, 95% of the world's population will be watching up to 64 games of stupid football. That's over 96 hours worth!
...I'd rather be doing something much more productive.
So, I've decided to setup Jay's World Cup Challenge.

Not sure...
Today should be iPhinging day, but instead I'm faffing around with NeonPlat some more, and adding some nice fun little elements.

Simply put, Awesome!!!
Hop around, grab the balls, throw them at the bad guys, and paint all the white floor tiles in the colour of your pants!

There are four difficulty modes on the titlescreen, and you can play Co-Op style with up to four players simultaneously!!! (although, you all have to be using the one system. Still haven't learned to do any Network stuff, yet!!)

This week's game didn't quite turn out as well as expected.
We'll call this week a fail, I think!
Still, you could probably play it once, if you could be bothered, and then delete it in a slight rage that you played something that wasn't all that good!

Not sure what game this is, but I made the Amiga Boing Ball, slapped it into a bricky map, and let it bounce about a bit.

*shrugs*
I'll keep bashing the keys, and see what comes out the other side!
Hurray for random game making!!

A couple of days ago I posted my first test compilation of a Mac game.
I asked for test-based feedback, and absolutely nobody responded, whatsoever. We're just going to have to go for the "Worked on mine, *shrugs*" approach for these!!
Today, I'm rereleasing the game from Wednesday with a quick fix, and also releasing a bunch of other games that I've written in BlitzMax.
We've also got JNKPlat and Gravity Bombs to come, but I want to tweak those a little before I rerelease them.
Any...

Balls.
I was hoping that "Buy Mac = Make games for Mac", but apparently it's only "Buy Intel Mac = Make games for Intel Mac"
I have no idea what the current Intel vs PowerPC ratio is, but if you've got a PowerPC Mac, you're going to have to wait a wee bit longer.
Like, until I make a fortune!

August 26th 2009
That's the last time I did a Mailbag post!
Blinkin' eck!
Over the past 6/7 months, I've occasionally dipped into the mailbag and plucked out little snippets, but I figured it was about time I did a proper one.

A bit of a chore, this week, to be honest.
I started on a game, expecting it to be nice and fun, but it's not really been all that great.
Instead it's been one of those "By the numbers" type things, and there's not really anything special about it, at all..
Aww well, not to worry, it's still a game!
