News - another new game: Silver Lining

December 2009
This game is for the obsessives among you..

Silver Lining

This is basically an optimisation game. You've got to score as much as you can in just 60 seconds.
The catch is that everything you do costs increasing amounts of points.

Distortion Factor

A fairly short, casual-format game. Just use your mouse.
Pro-tip: read the instructions for each level.
I enjoyed giving each level of this game its own bespoke nature. The background images are my own photos - in my family I'm notorious for taking strange pictures of walls and the like. Some of them made it in here.

This game was sponsored by Addicting Games, where it was widely criticised for being a maths game. Hilarious.
Wierdly, AG required that their branding not appear alongside any other in-game advert; I've removed it for here.

Rocket Racers

This is a top-down racing game. I tried to give it a cartoony style, with lots of little in-jokes. You race a rocketship against four competitors, and can temporarily stun them with missiles. I'm very pleased with how this turned out, especially the opponent AI - they each have their own style. This game was sponsored by Addicting Games.

If you like this game - and in particular the mascot, you might like this desktop wallpaper. You can also buy some merchandising. There are T-shirts, mugs, badges and fridge-magnets sporting the mascot from the game.

The music I used in this game is from shockwave-sound.com That site provides royalty-free music for a reasonable price, I intend to use it in more of my games in future.

Big Fish

This was the first thing I made with Flash. It's a game in the 'eat-em-up' genre - you start small and have to eat smaller things to get progressively bigger. It's definitely hard-core; there is inertia in the movement, and larger fish are more bouyant. If you want to play a mouse-avoider game, this isn't it.

However, if you find you can't deal with the low acceleration rate you're in luck - I made a version just for you. I call it Big fish, chipped. Personally I think it throws the balance completely off; you're free to disagree. This game was sponsored by Crazy Monkey Games, so I'm indebted to them for letting me make this alternative version.

Piu Piu

With this game I took into account the fact that people seemed to want to play mouse-controlled collector/avoider games. And decided to punish them for it. Try it - it'll do your head in.

Don't say its easy until you can complete hard difficulty. This game was sponsored by Kongregate.

Oh, and the name and styling? I just thought it was fun.

Mathsspin deluxe

This is a maths game - wait, don't go yet! Surprisingly, its quite enjoyable - the gameplay elements make the difference. And it really does improve your mental algebra. This is a new, version which has different graphics and sounds for each level, and is exclusive to this website. The graphics are mostly derived from other projects of mine.

If you prefer the old version, you can still play that.

Miscellaneous

The projects which don't warrant a full description here.

More games to follow - please check back sometime, especially if you enjoyed the above games.

Troubleshooting

Games not working? First of all, check if you've got a recent enough version of Flash installed in your browser.

If you can see a green tick to the left, everything should be okay. If you see a red cross or nothing, you may need to install flash player. You need at least Flash player 8 for the games on this site.

If you're still having problems, email me and let me know the problem.
