Shoot the enemies to steal their energy, but don't shoot too often... Your life depends on it!! If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

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.

Take the blocks from the bottom, and fill the spaces provided on the scales, so that the two sums give the same balanced results. You can Print a sheet of puzzles here, or Play it in your browser.

For the past couple of months, I've had the plan of a "One Touch Games" framework in mind, but couldn't ever decide on the best name for such a domain. A week or two ago, I just figured "To hell with it", and opted for SpikeDislike.com instead. SpikeDislike.com!

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...

.. and not for trying.

Scrapped another game, last night. That's about 5 games I've started and abandoned in the space of a few days. I can't seem to focus on anything, at all, and it's getting rather silly. Can I make an entire game, today? Probably not. *sigh* Make your mind up, and make some games, Jay!

OK, I *think* I've got the controller code whittled down to a decent set of functions. Part One is simply the One Player setup. If you're feeling somewhat bored, open up Browsercade and give it a try.

I think I'll skip a new "Main" game, this week

The word puzzle/game thing I thought was going to work has also ended up being abandoned. The game's own logic became its downfall!

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