Dev blog: Week 7

Evening all.

Not done much in the way of deving this week sadly.

HOWEVER!

I have instead started coming up with crude sketches of Horace and other elements of the game and should have some frame-sets perhaps for the next DB (no releases till June though)

That's all I have at the moment.

I shall be back tomorrow with a run-down on the forthcoming rating system :)

Until then.

Take care.

An apology

Hey guys.

I guess I'd best say sorry for no review.

Last time it'll happen I promise.

Here's the hint for next weeks review.

NES exclusive released between 1985 and 1987.

Ported to several formats.

Sequels still being made to this day.

Leave a comment, message or tweet with the answer and the first 10 to get it right will get their names in a tweet and the first to get it right will get their names on the blog.

Anyway I'll be back tomorrow.

Bye.

Flash game of the week: Sushi Cat 2 + announcement

OK lets start with the main attraction, the game.

Sushi Cat 2 is (obviously) a sequel to Sushi Cat released by our good friends over at Armour Games last year.

Everything that made the original game great have been left in with a few fun extras including outfits, sort of assistance sushi I guess you could call it (in exchange for Maneki Neko) and of course bonus levels (which to the best of my knowledge were not on the first or the honeymoon, will have to check and update). It's also longer, more colourful, levels are laid out better and now scroll as opposed to just being tiny eyesore levels and it looks less of a Peggle clone than it's predecessor.

Sushi Cat 2 is the best game of 2011 so far in my opinion and can see it being this year's Doodle God (Aint played it yet? Play it! http://www.kongregate.com/games/Badim/doodle-god ).

Well here it is, enjoy:

OK on with the announcement.

As of Tuesday there will be 4 segments on this blog of mine.

Tuesday's "Feature" segment will just be a random topic, hardware review, poll...basically whatever I want to put there that week.

I will be doing a quick feature this Tuesday outlining the forthcoming rating system announced on Monday so please, watch this space.

Thanks for reading (and almost parring my page-views from all of last month in 10 days :O), I'll be back on Saturday and hope you all will be too.

Bye for now!

Dev blog: Week 6 + Announcements

OK first things first, dev blog.
Not done much in terms of development, just flicking through tutorials, cant concentrate on anything at the moment, gonna crack on with the tutorial this week though (:

OK now announcements.

After a few setbacks in development, I have decided to halt all content (screenshots and betas/demos) until at least June, watch this space for more info.

The second announcement ties in with Saturday's mess, I am now going to begin writing my reviews a week in advance (any suggestions for reviews are warmly welcomed). I am also contemplating moving the reviews to Tuesday in attempt to phase in daily content. More news on these at a later date.

The third and final announcement is that the rating system is getting a face lift once again no further info as of yet.

If anyone has any suggestions on what to add to the blog or how to improve it just leave me a comment or something and I will get back to you ASAP.

Well that's all folks.
Be back on Wednesday.
Take care.

Anyway I will be back tomorrow with the dev blog.

Take care and don't use Internet Explorer.

Flash game of the week: Interlocked

Interlocked is a fun, addictive 3D geometric based puzzle game produced by flash game newcomer "NikitaL".

The only problem is the fun:frustration ratio is a little off and precise movements are needed to free most blocks but apart from that it is very playable and, thanks to the music, relaxing.

Finished all the regular and hardcore levels? Move onto the challenge mode and let's see how good you really are.

I advise you all to check it out as it most likely will give you a few hours of fun and serves as a great time-waster :)

Hope y'all enjoy.

Well that's it for now folks.

Be back Saturday with another great review.

Bye for now!
