This week's game is starting to take shape.

Developments

I spent hours, yesterday, trying to get some gameplay from the engine I'd started over the weekend. Unfortunately, no game appeared..

I thought I had an idea for next week's game, but it all got fairly dull, alarmingly quickly!!

Fight for survival, as an onslaught of enemy Spikes dare to attack. How long can you last?

I've already finished off the last few bits of this week's game, "Spikes Have Rage", and am now moving on to the next game..

Yesterday I drew a selection of backgrounds.. Only 4 of them, though. I'm no artist, and this is AGameAWeek!!

I think I've got a cold, or something, as I can't seem to think straight, this week!

Developments

I've made a start on next week's game, and I vaguely know where I'm heading, but right now it's all very much a bunch of temporary art!

Each month I receive the wonderful Arcade Block from (URL "https://NerdBlock.com">NerdBlock.com) When you initially sign up, you give them a T-Shirt size, and every month you get a lovely Arcade related TShirt, along with a box full of odd pieces of tat. Some of the tat is garbage, some of the tat looks nice on a shelf, and occasionally some of the tat is pure awesomeage!

Developments

Oh dear, this week's game still isn't 100% done!

An extremely fast paced Match-3 game, this week! Shuffle and Match, but be really quick doing it!!

This week's game gets an ALChoon!

Bonus tracks as well as the regular ALBum.. Hmmm...

Developments

This week's game might not be up to much!!

Developments

I now have a fully working "Slide/Match-3" engine..
