It's not very often that I add a title tune, but since Space Station A6-100 is a spiritual successor to Alien Deathmatch, and since Alien Deathmatch 1+2 both had a title tune, it seemed only sensible to remix the theme tune and bundle it in here, too.

I've been thinking long and hard about this one, but nothing's turned up, yet.

Each month I receive the wonderful Arcade Block from (URL "https://NerdBlock.com">NerdBlock.com)
When you initially sign up, you give them a T-Shirt size, and every month you get a lovely Arcade related TShirt, along with a box full of odd pieces of tat.
Some of the tat is garbage, some of the tat looks nice on a shelf, and occasionally some of the tat is pure awesomeage!

So, with all my games now missing from OUYA, it's time to start popping them all back on again.
One by one, I'm opening old code, fixing up any issues, and getting the games updated to the newer framework.
The new controller code is a piece of piss, since I did all that work in the Monkey Target part of Monkey. Essentially, I need only hit the recompile button, and the new controller code magically fits itself into the game.
The tricky part is adding a "Quit G...

Yesterday was spent doing four tasks.
1. Converting recent ALChoons to work with NeonPlat's ingame music engine.
Not all of them were a success, mind! Some of the more frantic choons ended up being a bit of a mess, so have been scrapped.

The Upgrade

Yesterday's blog was about an upgrade, and that's pretty much what today's is, too!
Windows 10.

Yesterday's doings.
Boxsploding
I continued work on Boxsplosions, and got a nice new control scheme up and running for touchscreens.

I spent some time, yesterday, playing around with the menu system for SpikeDislike3. It's starting to look fairly usable, now, with it's little bouncing "Next Level" thing, and all the spikes and stars in the right places.
I still need to add some sort of boundary to the left, so that the "Infinity" levels are more apparent, but for the most part, the menu is nice enough, and actually functions the way it's supposed to!

Things I should be doing.
1. A new Alien Deathmatch
2. A new RetroRaider
3. A new JNKPlat

It's time to revisit the world of Munky and his many colourful blocks.
Take control, and match three!

This week, I started out with a severely disturbing game idea, and ended up with a nice happy colourful arcade puzzle-type thing!
Hurray for colourful splodges!!

The year of Platdude continues, as we head into Platdude's garden to collect all the lovely fruit that's been growing, in this heavily AGameAWeek-ified remake of the classic Mr Do!

Today's game from the archive is a lovely little arena battler, with lots of weapons and things to shoot!

Over on the Monkey forum, a discussion about level data set me off thinking about making this post.
Whenever I put levels into my games, I tried to keep them as small as I possibly can. I've been doing it this way for years, and always figured it's nice to compress my data into something that's easily shareable.
.. True, I rarely ever get around to actually making these things easily shareable, but for the most part I try to keep things as minimal as possible.

The internet is a place for trolls and complainers (like me!) who like to gripe at every opportunity.
For the most part, we tend to ignore these types, which generally means that comments sections have become largely ignored.
Here at AGameAWeek, the opposite has happened. There are apparently no trolls daring enough to even attempt to play my games! I seem to have scared most of them away.
As a result, there are no trollers or complainers here, and since those are the types that make up ...

Today's game might not exactly have been released on this day in history, as it actually went through a series of three or four separate releases.. I'll have to trawl through the various forum posts to be sure.. But today's the day that I've marked, so I'm pretty sure it had some ...

Although this week seems like a quick re-use of old sprites, I can assure you that they are in fact a completely different set of sprites!!
Brand new Puzzobomb sprites, ready for an all new Puzzobomb game!
But before I tackle the lengthy process of making a whole bucketload of levels, let's see what it's like without any levels at all...
