100 NOW compilations, and what do we get?! Track Listing That's a bit of a shit selection, isn't it..? I mean, I can understand why they did that. Every NOW needs to have modern tracks, and this one additionally has to celebrate the past. .. But.. Really.. Would it have killed them to have got a selection of modern artists to rerecord the original track listing of the original NOW 1? ..? That's what I'd've done. *sigh* What a wasted opportunity.

#571 isn't coming together, AT ALL.. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to work out. Either it's too easy, and your bullets are too powerful, and the baddies can't reach you... .. or it's WAY too difficult, and the sheer insane bombardment of enemies is completely overpowering.

Picture the scene. A swarm of enemy are bearing down on you, and you have infinite bullets. You hammer the shooty key, and the enemy are thwarted swiftly, because they're right above you, and you needn't even aim. This is the issue that this week's game is currently having. Having the enemies swarm in more varied directions can lead to the game being more than a little unfair. On the other hand, reducing the weapons leads to even more unfairness, as you struggle to fire at the insanity...

Last month, I subscribed to the ZenPop Ramen selection. The box appears, then over the coming weeks, I review each of the noodles. This will likely be the last of the ZenPop Noodles that I cross-post here, mostly because the views have been minimal, and nobody seems all that interested!! No point clogging up the blog with my munchies, when I have all these games to blog about. If you want to read about future Noodles, keep an eye on the SoCoder Thread instead, where I've another 4 months worth of ...

We had family and friends over, this weekend, so I haven't had much time for coding. Even so, ideas have been bubbling away in my mind.

That's the end of my "Week Off" Let's have a look at what I accomplished.

As each game gets posted, the feedback occurs. Let's take a look at the feedback from Blockman Gets Retro! You can Download Blockman Gets Retro here.

Overview: While last years Blockman game was a platformer this year's Blockman game is back to the roots maze puzzle game where the player has to traverse the maze, eat the required quantity of yellow dots to cross each of the levels. Blockman cannot move backwards and cannot traverse a path already traveled unless there is a ...

I've spent roughly a decade working in multiple scales, resolutions and ratios. I've dealt with Android, with it's 57,000 different possible resolutions. I've handled iOS with portrait/landscape orientations. I've coped with Windows with a bazillion different possible window sizes.. But 3DS, with one single screen resolution!?! AARGH!!!

After each game's release, my inbox is filled with the writings of all the people who bothered to play it. Let's see what @RSKGames thinks of this weeks game! You can Download Franken Hopper here.

Overview: In Franken Hopper you Hop and catch the flying creatures and avoid the blazing flames from the statues to the side and the fireballs from the big statue's eyes. The platforms help to climb higher to get creatures with more points(Lowest level 5 points, Mid level 2...

Tonight I started a new project. #559 - Topsplodings And that's as far as I got.

After each game's release, I get a huge influx of opinions and thoughts from a variety of different people. Let's look at RSKGame's thoughts for this week's game! You can Download Micro Clampett here.

@RSKGames

I remember playing Mini Clampett last year. It is a very addictive game and as it was the first game to get the online scoreboard feature, lot of competition was there to get the highscores. I tried the hard mode today and got nowhere near top 5 highscores, the huge...

Today's task will be to try and get multiple textures to work. I'm fairly sure it should be an easy task. They really can't have made it too complicated, right!?

OK, today's aim is obvious. Extra Squishiness in the Bug Department!!

Links : Tweet - Game Mentioned I suppose I could do a racer, this week..?

I intended to get a lot of other stuff done, yesterday, but my mind wandered off into the realm of "Fun multiplayer thing I can add to SoCoder".

This week's game will probably be based on the Action-Snake thing I attempted to add on to the Biscuit game.

Today's attempts at the online fixings didn't work out.. Again! I'm totally lost as to how to do that. Bah, humbug! So, instead I started work on the next game. I'm not 100% sure if this'll work out, but I'm aiming to make a sokoban-esque crate pushing puzzle game. It might end up taking a couple of weeks, as I'll need to somehow come up with a nice way to generate levels. .. Or actually make them!!

Today's plan is exactly the same as yesterday's plan. It's like Deja Vu, all over again.
