It's functionally the same game: Sleepless Pug I've tried it in Chrome on Windows 11 and it appears to work as expected. It's possible there may be a bug in later levels but it was made for a game jam so it's not a project we can fix or perfect in any way.
It was made in an old version of Puzzlescript - and in fact was used to optimise Puzzlescript at one point because it created quite a lot of instructions on compilation. I'll try to update it at some point if I can find the original code. There is however Six Match which is the design evolution of Drop Swap. If you bought the Black Lives Matter bundle on itch.io, you already have it.
Unfortunately not. The game was made using Flash and Steve Jobs hated Flash - so the game remains un-updatable. Eventually Unending (the sequel) will be available on iOS, but not for a while I'm afraid.
As I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten angrier - that’s what happens when your body starts failing bit by bit. I used to think that venting one’s anger was healthy. Now I know it just serves to justify further outbursts. I have chosen to avoid memes, questions-for-clout, replying to non-mutuals, and dunking on products or people for the past year. There’s been exceptions, but most of the time I delete…
It’s been a while since my last CRPG report and I have played quite a lot of CRPGs in the meantime. I’m going to keep it brief. It’s by no means all the games I played over the past year or so, but it is all the games that are worth playing in some fashion or another. Yet again I didn’t really bother to get decent screenshots so you’ll have to endure some tangentially related Shutterstock photos.…
I would prefer to take my own screenshots but Steam has given me a big update queue and getting shots off of the Switch is a different kind of chore. Instead I will be using appropriate pictures of cats I found on shutterstock.com . Pillars of Eternity 2 Almost all isometric computer roleplaying games are broken into islands. There is a campaign map operating like a vast sea, and within that sea…
Wait not for the sale. Wait for the patches. Wait for people to stop gushing and go, “but this bit was shit.” Wait for the FAQs to be finished. Wait for the YouTubes. Then you can experience the game as a classic. One you can enthuse to your colleagues and hear the reply, “yes, yes, we all played that last year. Where have you been?” Fallout 4 Woof Dogmeat stands looking proud among a patch of…
Can’t get enough of them. I asked around, got some recommendations and I played them. Someone even sent me a Steam key, a partially successful attempt to sway my opinion. I also played some roguelikes, they count as RPGs too. Tyranny I received an unrelenting slew of recommendations for this. Sadly I found it so boring I couldn’t get out of the 1st area. Planescape Torment lays it on thick with…
When I worked as a clerk for the now defunct M&W, one of the pithy phrases pinned to the staff room wall said: Only 1 in 10 people complain. The subtext being that the other 9 just don’t come back, treat each complaint like 10 complaints. Which I guess is how I’ll be treating these survey results. There’s not a great deal of Six Match players. Whilst the players are enthusiastic, they’re certainly…
I’ve tried a lot of sandbox games over the past year. Mostly driven by acquiring a PC and leaving my Mac to its scheduled obsolescence. Playing games on a Mac is like playing Doom on a calculator. You celebrate that it works, it actually works, but it usually fails to be more than a proof of concept. When I switched back to a PC I discovered an entirely new realm of stubborn design. At least it…
… Hello again. This past year I’ve been convalescing. I had put myself in a position where I was receiving a lot of advice. The result was that I was patronised to a pulp. Too much advice makes you feel like no one likes you for what you are. So it was harder than usual to be around people. Tabletop roleplaying games has been a big part of my recovery. It reminded me I’ve my own roleplaying…
If you hadn’t heard already, Twine 2 was released and I made an adventure in it . I mostly make puzzle games and platformers but I was inspired to do another Twine by Inkle’s Sorcery! which I had a great time playing. (Pity that their Inkle writer is too bloated to use on a tablet.) A few old hats have asked me how it compares (seeing as I’ve already made a game in Twine 1) so I…
“Oh no, Aaron’s writing again.” Oh fuck off, I like writing. I’ve lead a miserable and lonely life so I don’t have many stories in me or enough social skills and travels to make many up - but it’s still something I enjoy. So when by chance a story or article does pop into my head I will indulge. I had that chance recently upon hearing of Twine 2 ’s…
Well, the source code is on GitHub. My guess is that it uses the old fullscreen code which only allows limited inputs. You'd have to compile it for the latest flash player and change any bits that call flash's fullscreen stuff to the new and decent stuff. Sorry I cant be of more help. Haven't worked on it in years. Good luck, and if I find the time I'll try do an update with swipe controls.
I’m making: Credit Crunch I’ve got Vines of this going back to February. For those not up to speed, Credit Crunch is a character based match-3 game I’m making independently. You move a character on a match-3 board to shuffle coins and match them to collect them. Most of the work I’ve been doing is based on flexibility of play styles and arcade feel. This especially includes…
Adobe removed the ability to make apps and executables in Flash Player 11 or something. Right around the time they ditched Linux. So I published it for Flash Player 10. Go to Adobe's Flash Player Download page: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html Go to the old versions and look for a standalone Flash 10 player (maybe 11, if you find out, let us know). The standalone bit is…
All of my MMO characters are named Crowleyson. All of my RPG characters are named Crowleyson. Their namesake is Crowley, the new god of murder. My Baldurs Gate 2 character Crowley was an evil elf cleric. He surrounded himself with champions of good, destroyed all of his competition, and at the last moment betrayed his companions to become the new god of murder. He is absolutely the best…
http://ungaming.tumblr.com/post/95872753745/this-is-the-story-of-a-music-journalist-he-was-a : ungaming : This is the story of a music journalist. He was a pretty successful music journalist. He had an ostensibly full-time gig at a pretty mainstream outlet. The pay wasn’t great but it was enough to live on, and he was pretty thrilled he got to write about music for a living. He worked from home,…
Well. This took me a lot bloody longer to figure out than the task deserved. So I might as well share: I searched for Easing equations in C# and got a cluster-fuck of function calls. I mean - I don’t really want to go through a switch block every time I want an equation for an animation. To my surprise, robertpenner dot com does actually have a nice and handy C# class. But it comes packaged…
Today’s journalism exercise is to write an article on roguelikes without mentioning Spelunky , FTL , Rogue Legacy , Dwarf Fortress , Diablo , The Binding of Isaac , NetHack , Angband , Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup , Ancient Domains of Mystery , Tales of Maj'Eyal , Brogue , 868-Hack , DoomRL , Dungeons of Dredmor , Teleglitch or Rogue . Go… This year I didn’t attend a certain…
