Trying to add Theme Three to SpikeDislike yesterday, and I had all manner of crazy maths issues.

Guess who still hasn't done the "Extra" feature, yet! If I'm honest, I might go without it. It's very very very very clone'y, right now, and the Browsercade's not supposed to be that. .. Is it?! *shrugs*

Theme number two "Heavy Blues" is a blue-grid floor with a squarish background and a heavy blue ball. This theme is basically stress testing a couple of elements in the engine. You can Play Heavy Blues over at SpikeDislike.com

This week's Petit Switch game's turned out alright. It's not the greatest looker, but gameplay wise it's really nice and playable. Odd thing is, that the player needs to collect batteries to keep their energy charged, but the game is called "Oxygen Depletion". .. I might need to rename it! I'm slightly tempted to do the game for Browsercade, too, but I've been poked and prodded into Doing the Do, like Betty Boo, instead...

Lots of internal tweaks to the engine, today. The game now records your highest combo, and places that alongside your highscore in the saves. This means that, when necessary, I can pop that up on the screen. Your last score on the scoreboard is now highlighted and bounces to and fro, to stand out on the list. I do miss having that in the Browsercade. .. Maybe I should try to figure out a way to do that, but Browsercade's save data is there for lots of different types of games, and having a Top 10...

Michael Fernie posted to the suggestion box.. Mr Do type game Another fun game we used to play all the time. Sort of like Dig Dug but I liked this better. Loved being able to throw the ball and have it bounce thru tunnels you made.

Every week or so, I think about SpikeDislike. How big it once was, and how abandoned it now is. Going from it's hefty days back in 2011, when it actually SOLD a decent amount on iOS, to the current day where it's all been removed from the AppStore because I haven't updated it in years. And yet, it's something I keep coming back to, and it has pretty much defined the sort of things that I've been doing for the past decade. Spike has whittled his way into becoming an alarmingly com...

Yesterday I started work on a Shoebox game for the week.

Crikey, that's a lot of games..

Suggested by Michael Fernie (feel free to make suggestions!) this week's game sees our unnamed hero searching for the key to the dungeon door. Carrying only a flaming torch, can you defeat the enemies and reach the exit? You can Play Take This Torch in the Browsercade, on your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Protect your garden of flowers from the onslaught of explosive robot creatures! If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

The Foldapuz game took a while to get started, mostly because I didn't have a bloomin' clue what to do. I'm definitely starting to run out of ideas for that thing. Might be time to think about retiring it, or at the very least, not forcing myself to come up with something every single week.

Light up five of the handlink's buttons so that all the surrounding values become zeroes. Each value states how many squares in its row/column should be lit up, and will change along with your pushes, so a bit of analysis should allow you to solve the puzzle well enough. You can Play Handlink in the Shoebox, under the Misc Games section.

Having to wait 24 hours for the new cache method to work for Shoebox, I instead decided to start work on adding the new Cache method of Browsercade.

Having some right issues with the cache, today.
