The game is still on schedule.

Find words using any available letter, and work your way up the pyramid until all the letters are gone.
You can Play Word Pyramid in the Shoebox, under the Word Games section.

I took most of the day off, yesterday.
Writing 4 games a week is harder than it sounds!!!

A strategic game of destruction!
Move your piece to any adjacent tile.
Next, REMOVE one of the tiles surrounding your opponent's piece.
Players take it in turns until either player is stuck in a position where they can no longer move.

I really really doubt this is going to be playable by Saturday!
There's a lot that isn't working, right now.. Basically, it can draw it, but it sure as hell can't play it!!

Today I did something that might very well break the Shoebox.
I've changed from having individual .js files for each game, to having a combined comb.js file that holds all of the games.
Hopefully, if your game breaks, a simple refresh of the page should reload the cache, and bump everything back to the way that it should be.
If it gets completely stuck, let me know, as well as what device/browser you're using, and I'll do my best to fix it.

A classic solitaire, this week.
Combine cards which add up to 13, in order to remove them from the pyramid.
Can you clear the pyramid?!
You can Play Pyramid Solitaire in the Shoebox, in the Card Games section.

What a happy title for a card game!!
Fairly complex rules ahead, but it's actually really simple once you get the hang of it.
Your aim in this game is to remove all "Pay off" cards from your side of the table. (They're the cards on the bottom left)
To do so, move cards onto the Center Piles (the three in the middle), starting from Ace and moving up to Queen. These can be of any suit, and if you place a King, it acts as a wildcard, becoming the next number in the sequence.

As with last week's Shoebox game, I actually uploaded it about mid-day, yesterday, but haven't yet officially posted about it.
If you're the nosey sort, keep an eye on Shoebox on a Friday, and you might catch a glimpse of the next game, before it's properly finished.
I first wanted to double check everything, and that's best done on the iPad, whilst sat riding my little foot-pedal-doohickey.

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.

A nice and gentle game of MiniGolf. Putt your way around, and aim for the hole.
Bonus points can be gained, but watch out for the water!
You can Play MiniGolf in the Misc area of the Shoebox.

If you refreshed Shoebox, yesterday, you'll have been able to play MiniGolf, but I didn't officially release it.

The Minigolf game's quite fun to play, so far, and today I'm going to try to add a couple more obstacles.
I'm thinking a giant spinning stick that thwacks the ball if it's within the radius, and maybe adding some directional floor tiles that act a little like slopes.

It's Checkers!
It's not a hard game, and AL's a bit daft (as per usual) but it's Checkers!
Jump over your opponent's pieces, diagonally, until there's nothing left but your own.
You can Play Checkers in the One on One area of the Shoebox

Line up all 9 cards inside the grid so that each row and column add up to 21.
The game uses Pontoon/Blackjack scoring rules, so Jacks, Queens and Kings are each worth 10, and Aces can count as either 1 or 11.
You can Play Pontoon Grid in the Shoebox under the Misc games.

Alan suggests

The fact that the die is white at the beginning of your turn, and also white after you roll makes it unclear at a glance whether the die's current value is your actual move. Not sure what the solution is. Maybe dimming the die or displaying question marks on its faces in pre-roll mode, and the normal white with pips in post-roll mode?
A valid point.
The "Popomatic" function has a "Locked/Unlocked" value, so I can use that to decide when to draw v1 or v2.
