It's Xmas. I'm allowed to be lazy!!

Yesterday's new/old testcard is called "Picasso".

I did more Testcard stuff, yesterday!

Welcome back to AGameAWeek, and the first game you'll be playing if you don't have Petit Switch.
This morning I need to double check the gameplay on Jumping Jack, then get it all uploaded, take a video, upload that, then faff about with all the blog stuff.
Chaos!

OK, looks like I've started, then.

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 the past number of years, I've taken to having a short nap midway through my day. Otherwise things tend to drag on, since I usually tend not to do much else but sit coding and musicing and artsying all day, and it all gets a little monotonous without gaps inbetween.
My naps help build up the energy to carry on my coding well into the night, and continue to make the crazy oddities that you get to play regularly..

Xmas Day was spent with family, as it should be.
Gifts and food, and time spent playing gmes.
We got a card games called "Mr Lister's Quiz Shootout" which wasn't (booo) anything to do with Red Dwarf, but is instead a game about guessing top-10 lists.
Quite fun.

Not too much to panic about, today...
I didn't bother doing a Foldapuz puzzle, yesterday.
Well, actually.. I DID...

Yesterday was "Just one of those days.."

Yesterday was focused on the SoCoder Xmas Theme.
I tweaked and redid it, being guided by Rockford as to what else was needed in the theme.
Eventually, all seemed good, and then Rockford offhandedly mentioned Xmas Jumpers..
And my head went "Ooooooooooohhhh!!!"

Last night I thought "What game can I whip up in a few hours", and out popped Vexed.
That's today's Advent Treat, but don't be expecting a brand new game every day!!
It's in the Shoebox, now, and I'll post it in a jiffy.

Oh no, it's Thursday again..

I've spent about 2 or 3 hours this morning, formulating a plan for an Advent Calendar of games, at which point I realised just how much time I'd wasted, and also how complicated the whole thing would end up being.

I probably should've held Homepath back until tomorrow, but I was enjoying playing the thing, so decided it was worth a slightly early post.
So, what's up next?

Don't worry, it isn't the Twelve Days of Christmas, already!!
The endless hopping mechanic returns. Bounce on the backs of the three hens as much as you can, without touching the ground.
You only get three jumps from the ground, so repeated bouncing is the best way to get a high score.
Tip : Hold A to bounce longer and higher.

I think my head's a bit sleepy, right now!
Must be all the Advent of Creativity that's done me in, or the three or four glasses of Baileys that I had over Xmas!
