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.
Zip

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

Build a bridge of words!
Right to left, westwards, using standard "Crossword Game" rules, but staying within vertical rows.

You can Play WestWords in the Shoebox, under Word Games.

Currently thinking I might do a Boulderdash clone, for Browsercade, but I'm not sure how good I can make it in just a couple of days.

Don't be surprised if this ends up as a two-week game, instead.

I have the "Multiple Direction" concept from 8-bit Boulders that I could easily reuse, but that needed hand-made levels.
I'm not sure I can successfully auto-generate levels for a game like that..

I finished off WestWords last night, so that's ready for release on our regular Shoebox Saturday slot.

Today, I'm heading back into Super Secret Side Project to see if I can get the file tweaking to work without resulting in file breaking!

Platdude returns to his favourite swamp, for a little golfing.

A few weeks ago, I was supposed to go for my Flu Jab, but that didn't happen. (I had a rather bad day, health wise, and couldn't make it.)
Today, we do it all again!

It's stabbing time, on Halloween!!!

I lay awake until about 2 in the morning, trying to decide what this week's Shoebox game might be.

I knew I wanted a Word game, this week, but .. What sort of game might it be?

Eventually, an idea started to form which I was happy with, so I switched off everything, rolled over, and drifted off into a gentle sleep.

A simple enough puzzle. Each number represents the size of a rectangle. Try to find, and fill in, all of the rectangles without overlapping any.

You can Print a full sheet of Sikaku here, or alternatively Play it in your browser, here.

I went golfing, last night!

Browsercade was done last night, so I can somewhat relax, today.
I have an entire Foldapuz game to get up and running, and then it's back to working on "Super Secret Side Project"...

Spooooky goings on in space!
Bump your pumpkin and earn rewards, but watch out for the SPooOOOooOoOooky ghosts!!!!

You can Play Bumper Pumpkin in the Browsercade, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

I drew a pumpkin last night. It is Halloween week, after all.

I think I've more or less got a gameplan in mind, but whether it ends up being fun.. Who can say!?

Not much else to report, really. I took most of yesterday off from regular coding, and spent a couple of hours getting familiar with the LumaFusion iPad video editor.
I've managed to wrangle a few nice little effects, and now have a bunch of little half-complete video clips that may or may not end up being used.

Fun with tools!

I wonder, are there any other wonderful iPad tools that I'm missing?
I might have to spend a day searching through the AppStore..

Any favourites of your own?
Let me know!

Place all 40 cards (Ace to 10, all four suits) within the grid.
Create "Jimps", matches between adjacent cards, to score points. Multiple Jimps score bonus points, and you can rack up combos by placing more multiples after each other.

You can Play Jimper in the Shoebox, under Misc.

I was tempted to add it to the Card Games section, but felt it was more Puzzle than Card, so it went into the Misc like Cardagain is..
Feel free to argue if you think that's wrong!!

Read More

"Jimper" is available in the Misc section of Shoebox. I'll be posting it to the site in a short while.

Once that's done, along my usual flood of #ScreenshotSaturday tweets, it's time to get thinking about the next Browsercade game.

Today's task is to try to finish off the new Petit Army game.

I managed to draw some simple looking characters, little huts, trees and the all important flag, yesterday.

Got the basics of the tilemap working, got the little cadets running around like they oughta, and ...
That's enough, right!?

Each row contains 0's or "The number for that row".
The row containing 1's should have one 1 on it.
The row with 2's has two 2's, the 3's has three 3's, and so on.
Fill in the numbers so that the bottom totals are all correct.

You can Print out a sheet full of Yakusos, or alternatively Play it in your browser.
