Guide Jack through the maze trying to light up all the squares, but watch out for the evil ghosties! The game was originally intended to be a Q*Bert clone, but with a less diagonal approach. People REALLY dislike the diagonal controls of Q*Bert! Once flattened, however, the game actually ended up being more like Oh Mummy, with the end result being somewhere inbetween. Quick reflexes necessary, and try not to fall! You can Play Jack on the Blocks in the Browsercade in your browser, on Desktop, Mob...

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!

Michael Fernie has been posting a bunch of ideas into the new game suggestion box. Feel free to post your own! One of his suggestions is actually a game I've been thinking about myself, for the past few weeks.

I didn't want to make a "Proper" QBert clone because people really seem to hate the diagonal controls of QBert, so have instead made it flatter and squarer.

OK, looks like I've started, then.

Throw the ball for points! Try to collect all 10 stars along the way to complete the level. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

Went for a checkup this morning.

2020! Crikey. We're definitely in the future, now. Past Back To the Future's future, and even beyond Blade Runner, we're entering a world where literally anything is possible. I should probably carry on making games, 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. 2010 - BlitzMax 2011 - Touch Control 2012 - The Bad Year 2013 - Monkey-X 2014 - OUYA!! 2015 - The Gap Year 2016 - Forget-V 2017 - Cuddle Me 2018 - Ringing the Changes 2019 - Overl...

Two days, and two years, as I still need to write my Decade-Roundup post for 2018 and 2019.

You might've noticed an alarming number of "Top 10" posts, yesterday! Ideally I should've started doing that about a week or two ago, to get all 10 posted by New Year, but.. Meh, whatever! If you've not been voting in the polls, please do, as I'll be gathering up the winners of all 10 polls to make a topper-top-10 list at the end of all this. Today I'll tackle 2016 and 2017, and maybe 2018.. I'm dreading trying to organise a top 10 for 2019, though! 140 games in a year? Yi...

Oh boy, was I playing sleepy catchup, yesterday! Everyone's gone home, and it's just Me, Mum and the Cat left in the house. Calm, quiet, and finally a decent amount of sleep.

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. Today will be another family day, as we have more guests turning up, and will probably be all stuffing our faces with the Xmas leftovers. Normal AGameAWeek service will resume once all the Baileys has worn off! Happy Holidays, eve...
