I must've spent about 5 hours, yesterday, trying to find the right sound for a new AGameAWeek Jingle.

I posted Benchmark 2 over on Socoder, yesterday. You can Download the Benchmark here.

Each week, Player's pass their thoughts on the crazy random games I make, and I go over their comments, commenting on their comments. It's a Comment-o-Rama! If you want to join in. Comment!!

Overview: Endless dungeon exploration with huge amount of monsters to kill. All the monsters have escaped from the ''The Dangerous World of Castles''(TDWOC) to inhabit the dungeons.

After the hours (literally about 5 hours) of installing stuff, I finally got the basic android gradlew.bat file to compile, only to discover that that didn't actually compile the full thing, and instead just compiled the c++ stuff into a .jar file that Android Studio then had to take care of to compile it into an .apk.

I give up. Over the past 30-odd hours, I've tried a boatload of languages, and although all seem capable in their own particular ways, none of them seem to do everything that I need them to do. I'm still annoyed that GLBasic doesn't do sound-pitching. Seriously, WTF?! An Amiga 1000 could do that in 1985.

Enemies are currently letter x's whilst bullets are letter o's. The game is nice and fast, and as RSKGames suggested in a comment, it does indeed have a "World of Castles" vibe going on. The regular AGameAWeek deadline is pretty much imminent, so I think I'm going to let it whoosh past, and instead give the game the attention is deserves. Chests and Treasures and Hearts and Potions and a whole bunch of evil do-ers roaming around the dungeon. That's probably the best way to go. .. o...

Sheep Goes Right is coming along nicely, but a quick test on the iPhone, revealed a terrible terrible issue.. The issue, isn't entirely obvious, but it's definitely there.

As each week's release gets mentioned across the web-o-sphere, I trawl through comments and reviews, and post some feedback to the feedback!

Overview : A 3 X 3 puzzle block with a target pattern that players need to match within the given time limit. Game has one of the five different game modes per puzzle with a limit of 5 moves

And with the push of a button, WordPress is gone. AGameAWeek is no longer held on a WordPress script, and now runs on a self-written "AGameAWeek" script. Blog, Games, Pixelart, Music and Poetry are all part of the new single script, although there are occasional trips to other scripts for things like the Music Player and the Pixelart Calendar generator.

Each week (or whenever I get aroud to releasing a game!) Players submit their thoughts. I say players, but it's pretty much just RSKGames at this point. Feel free to submit your own thoughts, and I'll add them to these posts!!

Each week, players send their notes on that week's release. Let's take a peek at their comments, and share some random thoughts, too!

Initial Thoughts: Looking at the screenshots during the development I felt the game is going to be a fun flying game like "Flapaddidle" but the use of a bird and the background are the only similarities between the 2 games. The gameplay is totally different game. In this game the bird can only fly or dive once per key press no flapping around.

This week's ingame tune turned out nicely ( ^ That one ^ ).

Yesterday was a day full of peeks and pokes.

Each week, after I post a game, I get a nice set of comments from people. Let's take a look at this week's!

RollyBlob is a great puzzle game. The puzzle game mechanics are done wonderfully. The 60 second timer keeps you on your toes to find the solution fast.

As each game is released, and player comments are posted, I'll try my best to make these posts as complete as I can. Feel free to leave your own comments, and I'll add them to the pile. This week, player's thoughts on (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/0407">Thwackity Puttz)
