A simple enough little sliding-block puzzle game, with a train! You can Play Shuffled Tracks in the Extras Section of the Shoebox.

Let's go back over Alan's requests from this morning, shall we? You can play the recent upgrades in the Shoebox, v0.956. If it doesn't auto-refresh, hit the new [Cache] button on the top right of the main menu!

1. Place letters by click-to-pick-up-click-to-drop. I haven't got around to this bit, just yet. I need a rethink of how the mouse-tapping works.. It "should" be do-able, but it might be a little over sensitive.. (see #3)

A nice big chunk of feedback from Alan this morning, on the new Crossword Game, so let's dig through his thoughts. You can Play the Crossword Game in the Shoebox under Word Games.

Fun. I beat AL 356-147 Yeah, AL's not hard to beat, right now! I need to get him to plan out Premium Tiles a little better, to bulk up his scores a bit.

Each week, a huge influx of emails and comments and thoughts flurry into view, as @RSKGames plays the game! But RSK has competition, this week, as Spinal's joined in with some feedback, too!! You can Download Classic SpikeDislike here.

Overview: Back to basics Classic Spike dislike is as enjoyable and addictive as the previous versions of the game.

I struggled to achieve anything of use yesterday.

Yesterday was a day for pinching ideas. Trying out old games and jotting down a few mechanics as I go.

Last month, I subscribed to the ZenPop Ramen selection. The box appears, then over the coming weeks, I review each of the noodles. This will likely be the last of the ZenPop Noodles that I cross-post here, mostly because the views have been minimal, and nobody seems all that interested!! No point clogging up the blog with my munchies, when I have all these games to blog about. If you want to read about future Noodles, keep an eye on the SoCoder Thread instead, where I've another 4 months worth of ...

I've spent roughly a decade working in multiple scales, resolutions and ratios. I've dealt with Android, with it's 57,000 different possible resolutions. I've handled iOS with portrait/landscape orientations. I've coped with Windows with a bazillion different possible window sizes.. But 3DS, with one single screen resolution!?! AARGH!!!

\o/yeay\o/ First test print that's at least vaguely decent.

A conversation over on SoCoder inevitably led to me ordering a 3D Printer, because.. *shrugs* It's my birthday next Friday, so if I needed an excuse... There it is!

So, time to kill my Monkey-X Android SDK. I knew going in that this would be a chore, but blinkin' eck, that's an understatement!!

I'm fairly happy that I won't need to re-tweak the project, so having compiled the OUYA, Win and HTML5 editions of the game, I closed Monkey.

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.

Each week, players send in their thoughts for that week's game. Or, at least, RSKGames does! If you want to submit your own thoughts, stick 'em in the comments, or email them in. This week's game is Sheep Goes Right

RSKGames

Overview: A totally different AGAW game in terms of art style and music but with the familiar mix of twist to the gameplay mechanics and attention to detail. A pleasant surprise is that the game is not endless, it has finite levels and ends with ''...

Although I've had it on my iPhone for a few months, I hadn't yet seen what it does to iPad.
