    ]]>     14 Mar 2007 07:22:43     DUOtris DUOtris is a take on Tetris (GB). Instead of blocks coming from the top, and fall down, blocks come from both top and bottom, and gravitate towards the middle.

    The aim of the game is to get the highest score possible. Points are scored by moving the falling blocks on both sides of the play area so as to arrange 3 or more blocks of the same colour together. These blocks will then disappear causing any blocks "above" them to fall and possibly create further combinations. The game ends when either stack of blocks crosses the game over line. Over time the speed of the blocks increases, more colours are introduced and the play area becomes narrower.

    There are two different game modes: Classic where there are just blocks falling, and Arcade where you get powerups and special blocks.

    ]]>     22 Jun 2007 06:53:09     Moves This is a very simple board game for 2 players (or 1 player versus the computer). Both players get 7 pawns and 1 king on a 8x8 board. The goal is to get your opponent's king or 6 of his pawns. Each turn, the player may select 1 stone and move it straight or in an L-bow. You cannot jump over stones, but you can step onto your opponent's stone to take it. The numbers on your stones indicate the number of tiles they can move in a turn. When the Mastermind option is selected, the stones change in value when you move it. Pawns can get numbers 1-4, while the king only gets 1 or 2. A challenging game!

    Setting the Mastermind option (to change the alue of your stones each move) will show numbers on the board so you will know the number you will get when you move a stone there.

    This games comes with 5 imaginary friends of fine-tuned artificial intelligence to play offline against your computer.

It started off as simply an experiment - whether or not I could simulate light in 2D - and became what a somewhat long-ish puzzle game with unlockable endings, an unlockable hard mode, and an unlockable mini game.

    It follows the story of an emoticon who is imprisoned by another, jealous emoticon, and his journey to escape from his dungeon-like prison and save himself as his friends. Nothing fancy, but it's not about the story anyways.

    It's simple to play...simply use the arrows to move around and spacebar to flip switches/talk to people/read signs.
