Just had a play through on Platdude In A Kart now, surprisingly tougher than I expected!

View on YouTube This week's game is rather simple in it's gameplay mechanic. Line up the ball, chuck it, and watch it go. More interesting, however, is my ability to use my laptop to make a trailer. Trailer framework is currently a little lame, but I'll hopefully be able to make it all a little better, with each passing week. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Looks nice, is the player able to influence the bounce direction during play? Congrats on finding the time to add video btw

ChuckABall is available now for the usual systems of Windows, OUYA and HTML5. Grab it here. Since starting this game, a whole bunch of additional features have popped into my head, but I tried to stick to the K.I.S.S. approach, and avoided adding anything into the mix. I might revisit this one, as it seems to have a certain appeal. We'll see!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

This week, I'm revisiting Centipong! Things will be different, the ball-launch is much more .... um... "odd" ! and there's oodles of extra chaos thrown in for good measure. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

YouTube trailer View on YouTube Marginally better trailer, this week. Good that it has the title of the game nice and big, but could've done with a proper logo. .. Unfortunately, I haven't actually designed a logo yet, so that's MIA!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

You can now download BounceABall IT KAN HAS BOWNSING. If you're a fan of Centipong, this is ... kinda the same.. but kinda different, too. It's something different, with a hint of Centipong. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

..Alternatively.. Someone on "That" OUYAForum mentioned a game called "SoccerTron", to which I replied "Is that football with LightCycles?" only to be disappointed by the fact that it's not.. ..Which basically spawned a "Can I draw a bunch of lines, per frame?" test  So, um, I might do something with this, instead! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Should've been focusing on the menu, player select and stuff like that, today, but have instead been tweaking the AI, and .. um.. playing it a lot! God damnit... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

No, that's a good sign of a solid game in development. I recently got a little worried with They Are Everywhere in a similar vein, I'd playtested a lot recently, to the point where I wasn't coding much at all over the last day or so and I started to question myself if the game was still fun. It seems that it is, which is a relief, thanks again Jay Getting back on track though, if you're still having fun playing it then there's a good chance fellow players are going to enjoy coming back to your game again and again. I have a tendancy to over play-test my games for this very reason. Beside, I've been looking forward to playing a decent lightbikes-esque game on the ouya for a while myself
