I started a game yesterday.
I scrapped it soon-after.

The Concept
One of those Sega-Swirls/"Same Game" types of games, where you click a cluster of 2 or more adjacent tiles to get rid of them. The bigger the lump, the more points.

By building up the grid from the bottom up, I could build a grid where it's possible to beat the level with a perfect score.

The Issue

Once you spot where the bottom-most "blob" is, it became alarmingly simple to just keep clicking the approximate area and beat the level every single time, without fail.

Why Not Just..?

Sure, a purely random version of this game would work perfectly well, but You can play Same Game in the Shoebox, and that's enough, right!?

Which is a shame, because I think I'd've liked one of those games in a puzzle style.

After the disappointment of a game not happening, I then set about making a nice "Digital/Matrix" background that looks nice and greenscreen'y.



Not really sure what I'm doing with that, but it sure does look nice in motion!
I'm probably going to aim for a space shooter, because that's what it looks like it's supposed to be, but maybe I should try to come up with something else..

I wonder what else I could do with that!?!
Hmm..
