Hmmm.. Sheriff is more playable, now..

I spent ages working on a multitude of tweaks to SoCoder yesterday, but ultimately they all failed spectacularly!
D'oh!

I finally gave the Tetris-alike a title, yesterday.
It now has a slightly (very slight!) different art style, some sounds, and a name!

I'm still at only 16 levels!

I spent yesterday trying to balance this week's game.

Starting my long and arduous Trek through the gate..

The music engine is now in place, and I've converted a bunch of melodies from AL's recent "Liquid" AL Bum.
Thrown into the engine, they're sounding melodically "OK~ish", but those instruments aren't working out, at all.

Today I'll be experimenting with oodles of different instrument types to see what sort of...

The next edition of SpikeDislike3 will come with 5 brand new themes, each with a unique playstyle.
In much the same way that SpikeDislike2 had it's Barry the Bee and Sheep Goes Right themes, this one will include a batch of themes that all mess about with the controls, and do things a little differently.
The first attempt is, of course, the classic "Chase the Train" mode, which you might remember from the (URL "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcbquXypuwc">Mastertr...

A whole lot of yesterday seemed to vanish just as much as the day before.. I now realise, of course, why this is..
I recently started playing the iOS game "Fallout Shelter", which is a spin-off of the Fallout franchise, in which you need to build, organise and maintain a fallout shelter.
The game works a lot like Sim-Tower, and is "Free to Play", but not in a terribly horrific "F2P/IAP" style. It's fair, and it's nicely balanced. The IAPs are there if you want th...

For my NEXT iOS Release, I present All New ChuckABall.
Completely reskinned with a fantastic new set of sounds and music. The game's taken a bit of a leap from horribly gnatty test game, to slightly less horribly gnatty test game.
Huzzah!!

Ho, Ho, Ho!!

I don't know why this theme popped into my head, last night, but there it is!

Yesterday I created an underwater theme.

As good as this theme is, I'm not *quite* happy with it, mostly because the visual of a fish "bouncing" doesn't really look all that normal!!

Yesterday I started a new theme. A road, some sand, some water, stars, moon and some boats.
