<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:right;"> AGameAWeek Gold takes a trip through my archive of games, and plucks out any games that may have been previously released on this day in history. Sometimes it finds recent games from the past few years of me doing AGameAWeek. Other times, however, it finds really really really old games, from a time when the concept of doing a new game every week wasn't even a gleam in my eye!

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:right;"> AGameAWeek Gold is a daily trip through the Jayenkai Archive, to see if I've previously released any games on this day in history. Sometimes the day is uneventful. Not even I have managed enough to pad out every single day of the year! Oddly, though, other days contain more than one game. And today's one of those days!

During a moment of boredom, I wondered how long it'd take to remake my lovely Testcard Generator. I attempted it in Monkey, and realised it wouldn't work very well given that I can't save an image. Then I tried it in BlitzMax, but that wouldn't allow me to work with images bigger than the desktop. (My Laptop is 1366x768, and I wanted at least 1920x1080) In the end I opted for Blitz3D. Blitz3D lets me work in practically any resolution I can imagine, while scaling it nicely to fit on my screen. Lovely ...

Or to give it it's full name, "One of These Will Kill You!". This week's game is a semi-remake of sorts, but one which feels a little more complete than the original version. Originally created as a PlayMyCode game, this version adds bonuses, along with some more obvious gameplay mechanics. You should be able to follow along, this time around!

As with all iOS PromoCodes, these are first come, first served, so you'll have to be nice and quick if you want one of these. Grab what you can before they're all gone!

SpikeDislike2 has just had a nice big update on the iOS AppStore, and I'm now thinking about what to add next, so I figured I'd make a nice rambling blog about it. That's what this is!! You can buy (URL "https://itunes.apple.com/app/id604867277">SpikeDislike2 in the AppStore)! It's nice and cheap, and full of lovely juicy stuff!

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:right;"> AGameAWeek Gold takes a look at the games that I've previously released on this day in history. It's basically filler material! But that's ok, because it's usually a nice trip down memory lane.

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:left;">AGameAWeek Gold looks back through the many many many games of the past, and digs out old games that I've previously released on this day in history. Today's is a bit of an odd co-incidence. In stores, today, is (URL "https://www.gamestm.co.uk">GamesTM) Issue 135, and in the Retro section is a lovingly crafted Demakes article, all about taking modern games and porting them to older systems. (They include a single screenshot of...

A somewhat simple remake, this week, as I couldn't even be bothered to add anything new into the mix. To be honest, this is one of those "Desperately trying to keep up a rate of AGameAWeek" games! It's fun, though, and now works lovely on an Android device (assuming your Android device of choice plays nicely with it!)

Googling for yourself rarely comes up with anything quite as fun as this! It seems that YouTuber "Chaoticlaw" (and/or "YetAnotherLaw") has decided to start a series of "Let's Play" videos aimed right at me, and my games!! (URL "https://bit.ly/ZT4hCZ">Play JNK : Playlist) Each week, Chaoticlaw plucks a random game from my archive, and gives it a play! He's also concurrently playing through Frogatto, Metroid Fusion and FTL. Assuming he only picks the cream of the crop, I'd say he could probably ...

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:right;"> Each day, AGameAWeek Gold takes a look through the archive, to dig up any games that I've previously released on this day in history. Sometimes they're fantastic. Other times they're garbage. Let's have a look at today's, shall we!?

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:right;"> Every day, AGameAWeek Gold takes a peek through the inexplicably large collection of releases, and digs out any old games that I've previously released on this day in history. Occasionally there aren't any. I'm not fast enough to have that many! But other times, there's more than one! How odd!

Hardly the worlds most imaginative title for this week's game, and mostly a cop-out graphics wise, but I was trying out a gameplay style, so that's where most of the focus went. Was it a success? .. You decide!!

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:right;">AGameAWeek Gold peeps through the Jayenkai Archive to see what games I've previously released on this day in history. Occasionally we'll pluck out some real gems. Today's a cracker! .. or rather, today's TWO crackers!!

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:right;">AGameAWeek Gold delves through the Archive and plucks out any games that I've created, and have previously released on this day in history. Some days, there'll be something special. Some days, there'll be utter garbage! And on other days, there are no games at all!

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:right;">AGameAWeek Gold, we look back in the day, to try out old games, and have a fun play. Sometimes we'll find something nice, and have fun, whilst other times, games will be boring and dull.

Oooh, nearly forgot about this feature! Whoops! Anyway, as I was sat wondering which of my current two projects to tackle, this morning, I inevitably decided to waste a few minutes making something entirely unrelated. This month's wallpaper used two separate programs!! First, the Windows program PaintShop Pro 7 was used to doodle the sprite, and get the image up to a nice big resolution, then the iPad App Pixlr Express+ was used to add a nice filter over the top. Does that make it more interesting?...

A half-assed experimental thing, this week. In all honesty, (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/2013/04/this-week-45/">I did enjoy the idea of this game), but the execution wasn't what I wanted. This week it's a case of "Could this be better?!"

On Friday morning, (URL "https://twitter.com/MadGarden">@MadGarden) suddenly popped up on Google Chat and started chatting about some sort of game he imagined might be interesting. Something about "a neat control scheme for a platformer/combat thing" being a bit like Tron, with the discs being both a weapon and a shield. Not entirely sure what he was on about, but it started one of those oddball pots of insanity bubbling, and soon enough a random game idea had emerged from my mind.. It's quite a way...

In a change to our regularly scheduled April-Project, I've decided to stop pulling my hair out, and instead do something different. Grrr.. What we're left with, however, is a nice happy little game for up to four players, so that's nice.
