In reply to my earlier thoughts on "blurred" backgrounds, Alan suggests.. Probably requires opengl wizardry. I need to study up on this a bit myself. And he's probably right..

As the insane number of games increases, so does the mailbag! This week, let's take a look back at Hillside Conquest. You can Play Hillside Conquest in the Browsercade.

@RSKGames

I have played Gorilla game in raylib games example, so I had an idea what to expect. Still I was surprised by the polish in ''Hillside Conquest'' implementation.

The two tanks fall into line, and a battle commences. Tilt your gun, line up your shot, and destroy the enemy tank. Rather than being a simple "Destroy = 1 point" game, I've opted to add Arcade-style scores to this. Earn points for closer hits to your opponent's tank. Your score is also increased by how much health your own tank has remaining. You can Play Hillside Conquest in the Browsercade, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

It's time to harvest the Starfuit. Platdude straps himself to a rocket, and aims to grab as many of the fruit as he can. You can Play Starfruit Harvest in the Browsercade, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Each week, as I release all my lovely games, a massive influx of fan thoughts bombard my innbox. Be part of this amazing section of the site, by leaving comments and thoughts on the games and other bits and pieces. You can Play Spiky Tower in the Browsercade, in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Spiky Tower is one of the ultra fast game that I have played from AGAW collection.

A quick and simple trip up the tower. What could possibly go wrong!? Avoid the spikes, and get as far as you can up the tower, without falling. You can Play Spiky Tower in the Browsercade, in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Destroy the enemy invaders, but watch out for their jettisoned capsules. They're deadly! You can Play Space Clusters here, in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

RSKGames returns with his thoughts on recent games. You can Play Shoebox of Games here, which are all Mouse/Touch controlled games, which run 100% in the browser. Or you can Play Browsercade here, which are all Keyboard/Gamepad controlled games, for a more Arcade-like experience, but which also run in your browser.

Browsercade games

: The main menu or Homepage looks fantastic with each game having the name at the top in their own game themes.

Game number three in the Browsercade sees Platdude running through the endless forest, smashing balls at the enemy creatures within. You can Play Endless Forest in the Browsercade.

On my desktop sits a sticky note with the words "The Menu is Broken"

The clusters return, in this fun little puzzle game. Grab a hex from the floor, and jump it up towards the giant stream of falling clusters. The larger the cluster, the more points you'll earn. But don't let the clusters reach the floor! You can Play Clusters of Hex in the Browsercade, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

There's a couple of little quirks I need to fix, but I should soon be uploading Clusters of Hex.

...alright!! A little shadow added to the back buffer, and everything scaled so that the gameplay fits within the alcove.

Right then. Today I need to make a start on reconstructing Clusters of Hex again. I'll be getting it up and running on Browsercade, so everything has to be converted over to Javascript. It shouldn't be "too" hard, as I have practically only just done this in SmileBASIC, but I expect I'm not sure how well the resolution/ratio issues might confound the task.

Crikey, this took some doing!

As more and more games get dumped into the archive, more and more players are sending feedback. Let's dig a random letter from the mailbox!

@RSKGames

In 2017 ''Blockman Returns'' was released and that was the first JNK's Blockman game I played. #1 Browsercade game is a remake of ''Blockman Returns'' game. You can Play Blockman in the Browsercade.

The original Blockman is recreated in glorious Javascript! Run around the platform-maze, gather up all the blocklets, and take them all home. The more you can manage in one go, the higher your combo score. You can Play Blockman in the Browsercade, in your browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

I'm currently about 98.36% happy with Blockman, but one little niggling issue is happening on iOS. For some reason, it's occasionally slowing down to about 25fps, instead of sticking at 30. I'm fairly sure this is to do with my dodgy framerate code, again, so will be holding off a final post until tomorrow. For now, though, if you'd like to give Blockman a whirl, head on over to Browsercade.com and .. Play the Game!!! Any issues, any at all, please do let me know. Full release in...

A few more tweaks, and Browsercade Game #001 should be more or less ready to go.

Spent an hour or two testing various enhancements to the FPS stuff, and I think I managed to find a nice middleground that seems to run fairly well.
