In 2017 ''Blockman Returns'' was released and that was the first JNK's Blockman game I played. #1 Browsercade game is a remake of ''Blockman Returns'' game.

The original Blockman is recreated in glorious Javascript!
Run around the platform-maze, gather up all the blocklets, and take them all home.
The more you can manage in one go, the higher your combo score.
You can Play Blockman in the Browsercade, in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

I'm currently about 98.36% happy with Blockman, but one little niggling issue is happening on iOS.
For some reason, it's occasionally slowing down to about 25fps, instead of sticking at 30.
I'm fairly sure this is to do with my dodgy framerate code, again, so will be holding off a final post until tomorrow.
For now, though, if you'd like to give Blockman a whirl, head on over to Browsercade.com and .. Play the Game!!!

A few more tweaks, and Browsercade Game #001 should be more or less ready to go.

Spent an hour or two testing various enhancements to the FPS stuff, and I think I managed to find a nice middleground that seems to run fairly well.

I should probably try to finish off Blockman in the Browsercade, today, but I'm slightly worried that there's a teensy bit of slowdown in the engine, so I think today's plan should probably be to track that down.

Looks pretty good. I did spot a slight half-pixel seam where the background wraps around. I like the parallax effect, though.
I've cheat-fixed that for the meantime, by simply wrapping the buffer a single pixel closer to itself, but it might look more glitchy once I start doing different types of backgrounds.
I need to add a "sprite to buffer" function, to check that, though.

.. When you're awake late at night, and think to yourself "This will give me ample time, tomorrow, to do all the other things!"

Today will be without a release, but there's not been an "AGameAWeek proper" for a long time, so I don't think anyone's going to be too disappointed by that fact!
But what of the rest of the week?

I'm still marginally hopeful that I can make something fun from the car thing.
Right now it's still extremely bland and dull, but I think with a few tweaks, I can manage to get something gamey out of it.
I think!

Over on Socoder, RSKGames posted a lovely "Top 10 AGameAWeek Games of 2018", so here it is lovingly reproduced with links and pics! (And with extreme apologies that it's taken me a week to get around to doing this!!)

10. Roland Eats a Stale Biscuit

First puzzle game of 2018. If it was not so insanely difficult it will be higher up in the list.

Finally got my theme approved, and in the time it took, I also added a Blockman Theme.
You can find the JNKPlat Theme here, and the Blockman Theme here.

As I release each game, folk from all over the web chip in with their thoughts.
