Yesterday's "Making a List" post asked for suggestions for other games which might fit in with the Shoebox.
Let's have a look at the comments!!

This morning's work on the Chess game has resulted in things being a lot more playable.
The game is now "working", and can be played fairly well.
The one "ever so slight" issue is that it's currently hard as nails!!

Most of the game is now functional, and I'm fairly happy with how it's turning out.
Today will be about Balancing the game, to make it so that I can get further than Level One in Hard Mode!!

I've spent most of the past week building up a collection of little bits and pieces.

After each game's release I receive an influx of feedback from all of the one person who played it.
Let's see what @RSKGames thinks of the bouncy pods!

Overview: I have not played any of the previous versions of the AGAW Centipong games but playing last years ''Rainbows Shooting from my Balls'' game I had an idea that it might be a very high paced experience. This Centipong game is a very intense fas...

A silly game title popped into my head, late last night, and I've been trying to figure out what sort of game it might be.

I've got a quick pathfinder working on Blockman Gets "Something", now, so all levels should be bearable, with targets that make sense and are indeed possible.
Might be insanely hard to find that path, but I'm fairly confident that it's working the way it oughta be.

I spent most of yesterday trying, over and over, to get the regular standard mode to feel right.
After hours (literally hours!) of playtesting, I'm fairly sure now that the basic levels are at least mostly beatable.

A rather productive day, today, as most of the audio got finished off, the level creation worked out well, and 3DS controller tests now feel much more comfortable.
I'm now trying to come up with interesting concepts that might expand the basic game, but as usual I'm worried that doing so might break the very logic of the game. I'll really need to think hard about what does and doesn't work in the game, and might even split it into its own "arcade mode", rather than break the main game...

There's a nice new pool game available on iOS by @helvetica called Pocket Run Pool. (.com)
People keep asking me on Twitter what it's like, because apparently I'm some sort of super-picky gamer when it comes to Pool games.
My thoughts are that it's a really nice and fully formed "Ball" engine, that feel superb, and doesn't have of the annoying things that I usually tend to pick at when playing a Pool game.
It's almost as if @helvetica's been reading my many rant...

I should probably make this a regular thing, again. It's always fun to get a little back'n'forth going.

Recently, i saw a Choplifter game (Game Gear), on youtube and thought, with a bit of imagination,the rescuees looks like the platdude. So my idea is, if you like to make a Choplifter Clone or alike with platdude. At least something with Helicopter ? ^^;

Yeah, the "After eating, go crazy!" stuff isn't working out.
The two sections, puzzle vs arcade, are TOO different, and don't really work well together.
Having it happen every single level just became repetitive, far too quickly.

v1.0 of my new version of the Icon Resizer.
Completely rewritten over the space of today.
You can Download Icon Resizer 2 v1.0 here
Icon Resizer 2 takes a selection of icons, at whatever sizes you CAN be bothered to make, and outputs a whole array of (mostly iOS) different sized icons that you can use in your games.
With the addition of some Screenshots and your game's logo, the tool will also generate all manner of screenshot sizes, as well as generating a bunch of Banners and H...

It's been a bit of a struggle to find the right gameplay mechanic for this week's game, but inspiration finally hit, late last night, and I think I'm now finally on the right path.

Note to self : Make sure the "levels" are generating the same, before moving ahead!!
This is approximately the game I'll be making this week.
Tonight's been a nice productive night of getting the basic generator up ...

Every week, RSKGames submits a lovely review of that week's game!

Title: Well chosen title for the game. The blend of the pink and yellow circle between the blue title looks great.

Even more blasting around a circle!

Things are flowing fairly well.

If any comments are made on AGameAWeek games, they'll end up in this giant sprawling topic of feedback!
You can (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/0401">download Read Error A here), for Windows, play it in your browser via HTML5, and hopefully it'll be available on Razer Forge soon, unless they think it's broken

The glitch effect, 10 second restriction and widely different mini games gameplay has made this week's game as big as 17 ...

I'm slightly happier with how the game now functions..

The monsters are gathering. Prepare to fight!

Yesterday's release of Blockman Returns was, if I'm honest, a bit of a surprise!
