Name : Thunderskull 4024 Idea : Sokoban-like game with hex-based grid. OK, first off, not really sure what all the loving of Hexagons is about, but the word Hex is in the suggestion bag about 20-odd times! Views 35, Upvotes 4

Having done the DS and Windows editions of JNKSokoban and since the shooty game wasn't really happening, I figured, what the hey, might as well do a phone Sokoban, too.
(hmm.. I never did release the DS one, did I!?) So, here's the phone one.. <a href="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/JNK-Sokoban_20090922B.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/JNK-Sokoban_20090922B_thumb.png"></a> Views 67, Upvotes 10

Trying to add puzzle elements into a shoot-em-up never seems to work out as well as the idea in your head.
I should know that by now! And yet, this week, that's what I tried to do. <a href="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Webdings_Fighter_20090922A.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Webdings_Fighter_20090922A_thumb.png"></a> Views 35, Upvotes 11

First things first, here's this week's AGameAWeek game.
I've done a few dozen "Get the Greens" before, so I figured I'd keep this one short. Simply put, get the greens, and avoid the holes. No enemy this time, just you and the floor, so if you're nice and gentle you could probably get quite far through and score a decent score. Views 78, Upvotes 13

Raining Bombs

Not much this week, or at least, not as good as Microbes anyway!
I decided to redo Raining Bombs, from a few weeks ago. The last one was for my Cookie phone, (which has since become a Viewty phone) and this one's for Windows. Views 130, Upvotes 14

Yesterday turned out rather well.
I actually coded a complete game, from start to finish, logo, audio, everything, yesterday. It's pretty good, and will be our AGameAWeek come Tuesday. (Because, if I posted it today, there'd be nothing to post on Tuesday!!) Look forward to more shootyshooty stuff! Views 79, Upvotes 6

H~S~R's coming along, nice and slowly.
As I add each new little thing, I spend about an hour playing with the lovely swooshy swirlyness of it. Mmmm.. The whole Texture-Buffer-Blurry thing has really added some niceness to the game. Views 51, Upvotes 10

It's been 30 weeks since I last tackled Horizontal Shooter.
The last time, I used BlitzMax. It was wonderful, and gave me all manner of nice swirly effects for those lovely background lines. Mmm.. Views 39, Upvotes 12

Yesterday was spent getting Sokoban to work in BlitzBasic for Windows. It ended up reasonably well, but there's a few things that should be tweaked, including one persons complaint that bundling all 600+ levels into a single pack kinda kills the fun of it.. A dull trek through a long list of simple levels before you even touch on the slightly more difficult levels, does not a fun game make.
So, I'll split them back up into their seperate packs, and give folk a nice selectable menu system. Views 119, Upvotes 34

A nice and simple game, this week.

Disasteroids!!!

This week's Wednesday Workshop <a href="https://socoder.net/index.php?topic=1414">#186</a> was to create a nice Asteroids game.
As I started creating it, I was planning a nice Horizontal Shooter-esque game, with powerups and all kinds of crazyness. But I ran out of steam midway. A shame.. Views 45, Upvotes 8
