This week I've decided to resurrect the classic "(URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/GameList.php?ShowJust=108">Future Classics)".
In the spirit of the original, this collection will be made up of short minigames, each one taking the title from a current-gen game, but being created in the spirit of an 8-bit "rubbish" game.
It's been one heck of a challenge to get the game up and running in such a short amount of time, so the initial release will be OUYA/Windows/HTML5 just like Boxsplodings, relying ...

This week, I started out with a severely disturbing game idea, and ended up with a nice happy colourful arcade puzzle-type thing!
Hurray for colourful splodges!!

This week sees our intrepid hero running around a house, capturing ghosts.
In many ways, this is a bit of a departure from the intended game....

A little late, this week, as it's been a bit of a crazy week trying to get this game to be "gamey".
Sometimes you can start with a perfectly valid idea, and... somewhere along the line, it all gets a little bit dull.

It'...

.. Sorry, I haven't suddenly added them.
Instead, I've made this post in the hopes of starting a discussion on the feasibility of adding scoreboards to future AGameAWeek titles.
It's something I've attempted in the past, and old versions of Microbes, Spider and others still kind-of, mostly, sort of work.
But there's a few issues that are stopping me from integrating it into the current framework.

I like to randomly throw games out there, and see how the general public takes to them.
Sometimes it's fun to watch as fun games plummet into disasterous pits of unnoticability.
Occasionally, you get a surprise hit, and are kind of disappointed that you hadn't put any kind of pricetag on the thing.
Today is a definite example of the latter, as I watch "Every Good Bird" flapping it's way into the stratosphere!

You wait months for a new AGameAWeek iOS game, and then two come along at once!
Apologies that these weren't posted some time last week, but they've been sat in "Waiting for Review" status for AGES!! Much, much longer than the regular "7 days" wait.

I usually try my best to come up with unique or interesting takes on existing games. Taking things in new directions, like Blockman which definitely isn't Pacman, or TetriPong which clumped together two completely different games.
Occasionally, though, it's nice to sit back, relax, and make a crazy lazy clone of something, just like everyone else.

This week, I finally decided to do the inevitable, and create that really obvious game that everyone's been expecting me to make for a good couple of months.
