]]> 27 Dec 2006 01:22:02 Candy Catastrophe! Oh no! Leftover Halloween candy has gone bad, and it's up to you to clean up the mess.

History

This game was put on Newgrounds way back on 11/29/2005, and has broken the 75,000 view mark. This game is also open source; scroll down to see the notice, and scroll further to download the .fla file!

Gameplay

To play, click once on any colored candy with at least one of the same color adjacent. All similarly-colored candies will be highlighted, and text will tell you how many points it'd be worth to collect them. Keep above the minimum score to continue; how long can YOU last?

Cheats

Type c-h-e-a-t while playing and you'll hear "watch this!". Once cheats are enabled, press 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 to destroy all of the corresponding color (while racking up bunches of points!), or type "s-c-o-r-e" to get the equivalent of 10 candies at once (point value varies by level).

Hints


  • If you just randomly collect candy, you'll probably make it to level 5 or 6, but if you want any hope of passing further, you need to bunch multiple candies together - you'll get double the points for 4 at once than for 2 twice.
  • It's also important to get those bonuses! In Candy Catastrophe, you'll get a bonus for each candy that has over 90% collected. Here too, it's better to get one 96% than a few 91%s.
  • Save vertical candies for later unless taking them helps make a better match - sometimes you'll be able to get rid of a column on either side and can use them then.

Note: Open Source Game

This game is open source: if you want to change or edit this game in any way, or even keep it the same, then reuse it anywhere, go right ahead! Acknowledgement would be wonderful, but is not necessary; at the very least, I'd be honored if you just let me know it helps in some way!
]]> 23 Jan 2007 09:13:44 Zero's Impossible Fortress For years Emperor Zero the terrible has been trying to snatch the fair maiden. But everytime, the hero has foiled his plans by traversing his elaboratly designed, but not impossible, fortresses and jumping on his head- thus saving the fair maiden.

But not this time. Zero has had it. The hero has foiled his plans for the LAST time. This time, he's just going to neglect to add the platforms to his carefuly designed fortress and watch as the hero haplessly falls into the pit over and over until it's game over- on the first level!

Unfortunatley for Zero, this is the perfect time for Mega Platforms Inc(tm) to provide their brand new platform-express service- for heroes on the go!

Quick, hero, utilize the platform-express service to get to Zero's lair, jump on his head, and save the fair maiden!
]]> 28 Jan 2007 01:02:34 HitBlock The game is a remake of Crillion. It features all the classic stages as well as over thousand user made sets.

You control a ball that bounces up and down on its own. Steer the ball left/right and hit colored blocks. If the colors match you can destroy the block.

Enter: color changers, deadly skull blocks, moving enemies, keys, doors, bombs and many more.

]]> 02 Feb 2007 06:05:41 Kastle Kumquat Kastle Kumquat has always been a long standing favourite of mine from the Amiga days and for the 2006 Retro Remakes competition i helped develop this remake with my skilled partner (the code guru) Edgar M Vigdal. The gfx are by me, the sounds are by me (including the grunts and oofs) and we got some very nice music made for us by the talented "infamous". The tough part is all by Edgar though, without him these games wouldn't happen.

Collect fruits, find keys, press switches and open doors to make your way through the kastle. Dodge the twizzly boxes of doom, jump the lava and watch out for the traps. The remake did ok in the competition but the game turned out as great as i hoped. Its a joy to play, in fact only yesterday i played it through once again.

We are now working on a version which includes the room editor for a collaborative project. A whole new set of user made rooms with some new twists and traps. Hopefully that'll be underway soon.
]]> 06 Feb 2007 12:27:11 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.
]]> 09 Feb 2007 06:11:41 Dyadin Within the depths of space and time, two planets converge upon one another unexpectedly, throwing the laws of physics into chaotic motion. As the planets slip faster and faster towards one another, a violent phenomenon takes place. The worlds collide, but with such force and magnitude that both planets fuse with one another, creating a unique and strange place.

We find our characters trapped amongst the chaos, struggling to figure out the new laws of their once beloved home. For the first time, they discover each other's presence. They are in awe. As they become more familiar with their surroundings, they find they have the power to affect their environment based on their proximity and color. With these newly discovered powers, they set out to uncover the source of this destruction and hopefully the means to restore peace and order to their lives and home.
]]> 12 Feb 2007 08:15:49 Digit Dungeon Guide Dag though Digit Dungeon and get him out alive if you can!

Digit Dungeon is a maze with a twist. Instead of narrow halls to navigate, Dag must make his way to each room by advancing only the number of tiles indicated by the number of the tile he stands on.

If it seems easy, beware! You must plot his path through each room carefully because there are pitfalls, monsters, and booby traps to contend with! Give Dag a fighting chance by picking up weapons and power-ups along the way. His life is in your hands, so make it count!
]]> 04 Mar 2007 09:41:01 Bean Machine BeanMachine is a modern remake of Dr Robotniks Mean Bean Machine for Sega MegaDrive (or Genesis in the US). The gameplay roughly is the same but the game has modern visuals in full 3D using OpenGL.

The game can be played alone, against time on a single scenario or as a story mode game where you advance through the different scenarios.

A split-screen mode for two players is also includes which allows for some fun matches between two human players.

The game comes with 6 different scenarios which are fully 3D : Ancient egypt, european middle ages, modern industrial setting, a prehistorical forest, a futuristic scenario and a greek colloseum.

]]> 16 Mar 2007 02:41:24 Sudoku eXpress Sudoku is a logic-based number placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9x9 grid so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3x3 boxes contains the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid.

Completed Sudoku puzzles are a type of Latin square, with an additional constraint on the contents of individual regions. Leonhard Euler is sometimes cited as the source of the puzzle, based on his work with Latin squares.

The modern puzzle was invented by an American, Howard Garns, in 1979 and published by Dell Magazines under the name "Number Place". It became popular in Japan in 1986, when it was published by Nikoli and given the name Sudoku. It became an international hit in 2005.
]]> 18 Mar 2007 06:10:22 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.
]]> 17 Apr 2007 04:47:13 Trimanic Trimanic plays like Lumines+Bejeweled+Triangles+Huge spinning disc. Players spin triangles around to make big triangles of the same color. Making many triangles of the same color in a row to create huge combos.

The game is still very early in development. It sorely needs to be rewritten; I'm still using T2D version 1.1 beta 1 for it, because I just recently stumbled across the old code and decided to flesh it out before I went on vacation.
