[2007-11-05] - Site Upgrades

I'm pausing the weekly game deployment schedule for awhile in favor of some site upgrades. I'll still drop a game occasionally, but not as aggressively as before. I've got some ideas for restructuring the site that I think, in the end, will be a lot more fun.

[2007-10-29] - Spacefighter 2

Spacefighter was the first game I posted to the site and actually the second game in flash I'd ever made. As such, it had a few flaws. In my mind, the worst was that it would play at different speeds in different browsers, giving some players an unfair advantage.

I've wanted to respin it for some time, and so here it is -- with improvements. It's basically Spacefighter vs. Dots.

I've also added shields, which aren't nearly as much of an advantage as you might initially think. In fact, I had to equip your ship with a double cannon just to help even the odds. Those geometric shapes know how to rumble.

Check it out.

[2007-10-22] - Blocku-san

Just a simple-fun game this week: Blocku-san -- a rediculously-cheerfully-colored game.

It's been cold and dark recently. Weather like this needs something bright to cheer things up.

Hope you enjoy.

[2007-10-17] - Ghosties!

For your enjoyment, Ghosties -- a halloween-themed Pac Man spin-off.

I've not been happy with the quality of the graphics in the previous games (I was focusing more on the underlying game technology), and now that I've got the basic game mechanics down I've been able to take an extra pass and focus more on visual style.

Let me know what you think.

[2007-10-08] - Sphereless

Up this week: a spherical variation on the old falling blocks formula.

On a side note, Tetris Effect is an excellent name for a nerdcore band.

Up next week is a Halloween-themed game; very ghostly, in fact.

Enjoy.
