Some games are great. Others, not so great. RSKGames takes a look at a game that isn't very good. You can Play Disk O' Green in the browsercade, but there are better selections available.

@RSKGames

Played Disk O' Green today and understood what you have mentioned about the maze generation issues yesterday. Found too many dead ends which leads to losing too many lives in many cases.

The giant balls are falling from the sky. Grab your best harpoon, and try not to die. You can Play Harpoons and Balls in the Browsercade in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Didn't get an awful lot done to the game, yesterday. I spent hours fiddling with the background methodology, and testing out various elements, testing for all manner of future games.

Each week, oodles of feedback floods my inbox. Thank you to everyone who sends their thoughts/comments on all the wonderful games I've been making so far, this year. This week, RSKGames has thoughts on the latest Shoebox game, Homepath. You can Play Homepath in the Shoebox on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

@RSKGames

Started playing Homepath 20/750 done. Brilliant puzzle game.

I've spent about 2 or 3 hours this morning, formulating a plan for an Advent Calendar of games, at which point I realised just how much time I'd wasted, and also how complicated the whole thing would end up being.

Hey, look who's back. I'm going to have to dig back through my archives to see if I gave this character a name. It's not popping to mind. Feel free to suggest a name!

I probably should've held Homepath back until tomorrow, but I was enjoying playing the thing, so decided it was worth a slightly early post. So, what's up next?

Guide your counters towards the Goal squares. Be sure to light up all the squares along the way. You can Play Homepath in the Misc section of the Shoebox.

A traditional Light Cycles game. Try to outwit your opponents. .. It isn't very hard! But it is rather fast. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

"Homepath" is seemingly working well enough, but today I'd like to try adding a few extra additions into the gameplay, to make the levels a little more complex.

I couldn't concentrate on the Pool game, today. I tried my hardest, but my mind was a-wandering.. Instead, then, I ended up making this.

I really need to knuckle down and get the Pool game a bit more playable.

Earn a slice of cake by filling in the boxes with numbers 1 to 9, so that each of the four larger numbers are totals of its four corner values. You can Print out a Sheet, or Play in your Browser on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet

A busy day, yesterday, as I managed to get most of this week's Petit Switch game done, and then started thinking about Emergency Shoebox Games again.. Just in case!

Guide Greenie through the maze of flames in a quest to gather up his lost floppy disks. You can Play Disk O' Green in the Browsercade, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

I'm not happy with this week's Browsercade game. It hasn't turned out how I'd have liked it to, but it's playable enough, and .. That'll have to do.

I'd love to round off my "Week Off" with a Sleepy Sunday, but unfortunately, I've got a game to finish for tomorrow!

Gather up the card into the Foundation spaces, in the usual Ace to King manner. The challenge here is that each of the "table" piles can only hold 3 cards. Move them around to reach the required cards for the Foundations, by shifting the topmost card onto an allowable space. Cards can be placed atop another card either one value above or below, of any suit. You can Play Shamrock Solitaire in the Card Games section of the Shoebox, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

I didn't spend nearly enough time on the Pool game, yesterday, so Emergency Backup Shoebox Game was slapped onto the server late last night. I'll post about that in a jiffy.

I'm fairly sure that AL's angles aren't quite right. He can aim for the pockets, but always seems to be a half-degree or so away from landing the shot. I've double/triple checked all my maths, and it seems to be in order, but .. Hmm...

Bounce through the skies, and try to reach your home. Hoppy Bobby returns with his rainbow powered rocket. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

With a skipped Browsercade, this week, and my "Time off", I'm managing to finish off all manner of little bits and pieces. I even took the time to finally make myself a little AGameAWeek Notification Noise using GarageBand. I might do a few more, and upload them to the site.. *shrugs*

Simply fill the X with the numbers 1 through 9, so that all the totals add up correctly. You can Print a page full of Nine X here, or alternatively Play in your browser!

A week off... ... So, um.. I managed to make a quick and simple Foldapuz game, yesterday, and also got a fair amount of work done on the Pool AI.

.. And that was as far as I got.
