The new laptop was supposed to be arriving today, giving me yesterday to finish off most of the important pieces of this week's game. Instead, the new laptop turned up yesterday, meaning I pretty much wasted the entire day playing Mr Reinstaller.

What kind of baddies attack a fridge?! What would be the arch rival of a chiller cabinet!??!

Not really 100% sure what's going on here, if I'm honest, but the game now features a pogo-stick-hopping refrigerator. .. Because.. .. ... *shrugs* Tomorrow I need to come up with a more interesting set of gameplay elements than "Try not to fall into the chasm". Some proper enemies would help, I imagine.

Last month, I subscribed to the ZenPop Ramen selection. The box appears, then over the coming weeks, I review each of the noodles. Last month's collection can be found in this SoCoder Thread, but I figured it might be something entertaining to crosspost here, too. Noodle Six

Well, that doesn't sound right!!

Progress : The ball has gone. Now the main character hops up and down, instead.

In order to make the Bouncer format work properly, I'm going to need to give the player a different kind of control scheme. I'm almost tempted to strip away the "constantly bouncing" form of the ball, and go for something more like Soccer Kid on the Amiga.

Each release brings a wave of thoughts and comments. Let's have a peek at RSKGame's thoughts on this week's puzzle game. You can Download The Link Janitor here.

A very relaxing puzzle game with right mixture of difficulty with 225 levels. Crikey. He's only gone and completed the entire game!!

My mind wanders back to a game idea, long long long ago. Super Bouncer (2003!) never got off the ground because I knew I'd need really big levels, and I couldn't be bothered to make them! (This is a running theme) With my modern day proc-gen methods, I could probably get a decent random-path generator up and running to keep the game varied enough to be interesting. Couple it with better collision detection (really, anything would be better than the old test version!) and it has the potenti...

Link up for a happy robot!

OK, the game's been "final" compiled and bundles are ready, so today will be all about uploads.

Things certainly aren't "too" difficult, at least not up to the level of "Biscuit", but the variety of levels is much more interesting, and a few levels are a little more taxing than they were yesterday. .. that only took half the day!! Now I just need to finish the actual game, get a game title added, do logos and screenshots and start preparing the bundles. .. basically, everything that I normally do on a Sunday, but haven't yet had time for. Oops!

I have NO IDEA how it happened, but at some point yesterday, the face on my Misfit Phase cracked. I must've hit it, or something, but I really can't remember doing that. Hmmm..
