I tried my best to get a vertical scrolling shooter up and running in a day, but.. nah.. This week's Browsercade game will be held off until next week.

I didn't do a smegging thing, yesterday. Nothing. Nada. Zip As much as the 4-games-a-week things is flowing reasonably well, it's also really bloomin' hard!!

Build a bridge of words! Right to left, westwards, using standard "Crossword Game" rules, but staying within vertical rows. You can Play WestWords in the Shoebox, under Word Games.

Currently thinking I might do a Boulderdash clone, for Browsercade, but I'm not sure how good I can make it in just a couple of days. Don't be surprised if this ends up as a two-week game, instead. I have the "Multiple Direction" concept from 8-bit Boulders that I could easily reuse, but that needed hand-made levels. I'm not sure I can successfully auto-generate levels for a game like that..

I finished off WestWords last night, so that's ready for release on our regular Shoebox Saturday slot. Today, I'm heading back into Super Secret Side Project to see if I can get the file tweaking to work without resulting in file breaking!

Platdude returns to his favourite swamp, for a little golfing. If you've a Switch, and have downloaded SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key...

A few weeks ago, I was supposed to go for my Flu Jab, but that didn't happen. (I had a rather bad day, health wise, and couldn't make it.) Today, we do it all again! It's stabbing time, on Halloween!!!

I lay awake until about 2 in the morning, trying to decide what this week's Shoebox game might be. I knew I wanted a Word game, this week, but .. What sort of game might it be? Eventually, an idea started to form which I was happy with, so I switched off everything, rolled over, and drifted off into a gentle sleep.

A simple enough puzzle. Each number represents the size of a rectangle. Try to find, and fill in, all of the rectangles without overlapping any. You can Print a full sheet of Sikaku here, or alternatively Play it in your browser, here.

I went golfing, last night!

Browsercade was done last night, so I can somewhat relax, today. I have an entire Foldapuz game to get up and running, and then it's back to working on "Super Secret Side Project"...
