A nice slow paced shooter this week. Poor old CPC Basic couldn't really handle bullet-hell type games. Well, ok, maybe it could if you really really tried, and came up with a scrolling ascii grid of bullets, but for the most part it just wasn't happening. Instead, Cassette 50 creators had to rely on other ideas. Like trying to kill you with your own desire to kill!! <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Inferno_20110125_Logo_thumb.png">

You all know how to play this one! <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Super_Spike_Dislike_20110104_Logo_thumb.png"> <a href="https://jayenkai.blogspot.com/p/spike-dislike.html">Also on iPhone/iPod/iPad</a> Bounce continuously to the right, avoid the spikes, shoot at them occasionally, Super Spike Dislike!!

Platdude Hungry!!

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 nice big lengthy re...

Jayenkai's World Cup Challenge : <a href="https://AGameAWeek.com/2010/06/jayenkais-world-cup-challenge/">A plan to do something, rather than sit watching football for 90 minutes each and every day..</a> --- No fair, I missed yesterday Blame Apple. They sent me my iPhing Dev License, and I spent the day playing about with that, and installing everything again... Nothing productive, just a wasted day. Today is marginally better..

You could say that this week's been a bit of a cheat. An update isn't REALLY a whole new game. But then, I also made <a href="https://AGameAWeek.com/?p=656">ScoreRack</a>, this week, too.. So it all evens out! Good stuff!

A classic Blockman game, in the style he was meant to be in! Sure, he looks great doing his whole "Pacman maze, but hungry" thing, but this is the style he made his name in, so it seems only fitting that this would be where he finds his Mario Costume. And not just once. He can find it over and over again! <a href="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Blockman_in_a_Mario_Costume_20100330A.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Blockman_in_a_Mario_Costume_20100330A_thumb.png"></a>

I've been meaning to start mentioning McCoy's AGameAWeek games for a few weeks, now, but am usually too busy on a Wednesday to think about it. D'oh!! No matter... Today I'm at work, and have incredibly managed to remember, so here's this weeks. (URL "https://nmccoy.net/2010/03/10/game-07-avoid-spikes/">Avoid Spikes) is one of those "uhoh!" games that regulars here will be all too familiar with. They usually occur when you've spent too long on a project, and would rather it wasn't rushed, so you ...

Blimey, Blockman got big! 5Mb!! FIVE!! That's not like me! But with over 350 great big (for me!) 64x64 pixel sprites, the game was bound to get a little bit bigger than usual. Oh, and a bitmap font, too! I've really gone all out, this week! <a href="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Blockman_Gets_More_20091103B.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Blockman_Gets_More_20091103B_thumb.png"></a> To be fair, it's taken about 2 weeks to get this all done, but I ...

Friday 25th of September 2009 12:15:21 AM Name : Thunderskull 4024 Idea : Sokoban-like game with hex-based grid. OK, first off, not really sure what all the loving of Hexagons is about, but the word Hex is in the suggestion bag about 20-odd times! People appear to really like Hexagons! The Hexagonal Maze is in the archive. It's a half assed game, but I like it. Sokoban kinda needs specific controls, since you have to be able to move ...

This week's Wednesday Workshop suggests we should make a Pacman game. I've already done "Blockman Forever" this year, so I'm going to avoid retreading old ground. Instead I'm going the Puzzle route. Already I've got a lovely little set of graphics going, and am obviously reusing Blockman because.. .. well, why not!!! A few mazes are set up, ready to go, as well as the first of the neat little puzzle mechanics... I'm now trying to come up with a nice batch of extra puzzle e...

Many many years ago (about 20?!) I played a game called Painter on a mate's BBC Micro. Haven't played the thing since, but what the hey, here's the "Done in a day" remake! I had intended to do a bigger project, and in fact that project is nearly done, but the lack of time made me postpone the larger project for a week, while it all gets done. So, quicky game this week. <a href="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/Painter.png"><img src="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/Painter_thumb.png"&...

It's that unexpected time, where I randomly choose to rummage through the bundles of silly game ideas, and pluck out the best/worst! Let's throw out the spam, and get started. .. FFS, there's a lot of spam! Don't ever put a blank form onto a webpage!! ... <hr> <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/mailbag/09-aug-26/piperats.gif"> Wednesday 12th of August 2009 05:18:45 AM Name : Shitterwing Idea : what? add rats that pass through boxes and turn in...
