Oh, Apple.. What did you do!?

Let's tick one of the unimportant side projects off the list!!

Yesterday was spent with Mother.

Good grief, that was a flu and a half..
Bedraggled!!!

I'll be honest, the bedroom does currently look a little bit.. um.. white..!?

I'm not 100% sure about this week's game, yet.

Gather up all your favourite Fruit Gums from around the arena. Collecting the same colour gives you combo points!
If you've a Switch and SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key

Too much time working on the Calendar/TimeTunnel meant I spent barely any time working on this week's SmileBASIC game.
Oops!

Help Greenie find his floppy disks, as he flies through the caverns with his trusty helicopter backpack.
You can Play the game in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

A decade is over, and what have I done?
373 games, created a new blogging script for here, rewritten the Socoder forum, started a few new sites and more!
Oh, and a brain tumour!
It's been a wild and crazy decade, and over the next few days I'll be looking back at the best (and worst) games from the decade.

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.

Yesterday's new Foldapuz addition went alarmingly smoothly.
.. I should've known that wasn't a good sign.

Over at GBATemp, user ZeldaPlayer67 asks..
Could you make a splatoon like game next where you compete with a cpu to color as much as you can within a certain time i would love that!

Oh, the joys of having the ability to generate your background from tiles

Developments

You know when you release a game, then sit in bed playing it, and suddenly realise you forgot to switch off a little toggle?
Doesn't matter, nobody'll notice it..
Feel free to guess what it was, though!

People seem to be doing this list, all over Twitter.<br>

Figured I oughta give it a go.

1I had planned to make a semi-sequel to NeonPlat, this week.
I'm not really sure why that didn't happen!
Instead, we have a nice swimming floating game, which is in no way inspired by the diving in Animal Crossing..
... AT ALL!!!!

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:right;"> Each day, AGameAWeek Gold takes a look through the archive, to dig up any games that I've previously released on this day in history.
Sometimes they're fantastic.
Other times they're garbage.
Let's have a look at today's, shall we!?

Too tired..
Instead, I've been working on Sheep Goes Left DS, which is proving 17,000,000,000% more popular than it's iOS rival.
Quite why, I don't know, but the fact that it's being mentioned quite a bit is a good sign.

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...

With all the Mac stuff, I've not had a chance to do a new game.
NOOoooooo!!!!!!
I suppose I could rush something in the next 24 hours, but I'm much rather be playing with those extra trimming, and getting things a little nicer.

First off, Gravity Bombs. Not touched it yet, but it definitely needs at least one tweak. .. the Mac's "Superior" (bah) Magic Mouse has a lot going for it, but it also has an inability to right click whilst holding down the left mouse button. Which is prett...

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.
