In this game, mix up the letters from the signposts' word, with those of the fish, to generate 7 letter words.
Beware the red herring!

A fishing game for Foldapuz?

The idea popped into my head, last night.
It's going to be a slightly different design style for this week's game.
Nothing more than a simple word game, but with a pre-drawn background image with a little fisherman on it.

.. Requires the ability to draw..
Might not go well!
We'll see.

Battle against the enemy swarms, as you protect the skies from the invading army.

You can Play Airborne Mercenary in the Browsercade, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

OK, I think most of the vertical scrolling shoot-em-up is done for tomorrow's Browsercade release.

I need to add some variation to the enemy waves, and try to get a couple of powerups in there, but otherwise it's .. Plain, generic, and shooting!!

Can you manage to put your bubbles in order, before AL can?

Take it in turns to move one of the two centre bubbles, and swap it with one of the bubbles in your row.
Try to figure out the best method to get all the bubbles into numerical order.

You can Play Sort Bubbles here, in the One on One section of the Shoebox.

Last week, Tobobobo picked out this game as a possible Shoebox addition, and .. I think it's probably something that could work.

I think that'll be this week's Shoebox title. It seems simple enough, but deceptively so. A nice unusual game, fit for the box.

If you've any games you'd like to see me tackle, be it Foldapuz, Shoebox or Browsercade, feel free to suggest it, and I'll see if I can work it into play.

.. Unless it spirals into complex depths that become unmanageable. .. (See Pool, Quest, Jack Change It, Chess and others!!)

Latest Game : 07th November 2019 : Daisy Chains

Petit Computer 4, SmileBasic for Nintendo Switch, was released on 23rd of May, 2019 in the Japanese eShop.
If you'd like to give it a try, I've written this vague guide to get you started with getting the Japanese edition onto your none-Japanese Switch, as well as these additional blog posts.

I've also made the following downloads for the language.

I'll aim to post a new game every Friday, so watch out for them!

Petit Clampett's got a spot in an official Nintendo Switch advert

You can just about spot it in the thumbnail, in the middle of the 4th character on the screen.
It also gets a second or so of fullscreen time, too \o/

I woke up too early, this morning, but at least I've managed to get everything important done within a moderately decent amount of time.

SoCoder's newsletter will be up shortly, along with the ALChoon of the week, and after that it's "simply" a case of finishing off the Petit Switch game for the week.

Then I can rest.. Before starting another Shoebox game!!
Ugh..

I must've started about half-a-dozen projects in PetitSwitch, yesterday, to try and figure out what this week's game might be.

Can you find all the pills within the grid?

Each pill is numbered 1 to N (Where N is the width of the grid, so 8 squares along = 8 pills)
The pills sit either horizontally or vertically in the grid, and are exactly 3 squares in length.

The numbers at the side display the totals of all of the squares that contain pills in that row..!

You can Print sheets of Pills here, or Play it in your browser.

I woke the MacMini up at around about 8pm.
By 11:30 it was finally ready to start using.
Update after update after update after update..
And even then I had to uninstall XCode and reinstall it (with a huge download to boot) in order to get it actually working.

*sigh*

1. Foldapuz got done. It was a bit of a squeeze, but I pulled off another Logic game. (Pills)
I really need to come up with a new Word game for Foldapuz. It's been AGES* since I added one!

OK, let's ignore the fact that I've no Browsercade game to post today, and carry on as if everything's normal!

Today I need to come up with a Foldapuz game, and get that working my midnight.
Hurray!

I also have a friend coming around with a broken laptop that needs fixing, which I'm hoping isn't anything hardware related, because I'm RUBBISH at fixing hardware issues.
If I can't click a problem away, then I'm stumped.

As well as that, I've got to start work on this week's Petit Switch game, too.

Plenty to do!
A busy day ahead.

I tried my best to get a vertical scrolling shooter up and running in a day, but.. nah..

This week's Browsercade game will be held off until next week.

I didn't do a smegging thing, yesterday.
Nothing.
Nada.

As much as the 4-games-a-week things is flowing reasonably well, it's also really bloomin' hard!!
