Work in progress-game concept based on the hydra from the 12 labours of Hercules. Chop a head off and 2 grow back in its place unless the wound is cauterised.

Been experimenting with different skins for my new game. Think I will include some of them as either bonus levels or unlockable content.

New game - slice, pop, squash and spin ghosts. Aiming for gameplay drawing from fruit ninja & bop it! Written entirely in Codea with graphics done using Inkpad

Shoot em up or avoid insects and collect items only? Not sure. Do like the bubble shield as a power up regardless

Anagramal update & Foggy bummer mark 2

On holiday so the release of the next update to Anagramal is delayed until my return to Mac access. Sales have dropped right off but have done no more marketing. Want to record some demo footage but Codea's record function is currently broken. Have tried on Mac solution but wondering whether to fork out the cash for it or hold tight for the Codea update. On a side project I've been messing about with an old sidescroller idea using cropped photos as the graphic elements. Drawing inspiration from the old game Apidya I used to play on my Amiga as a kid (http://www.shmups.com/reviews/apidya/) though not sure if I'll make it a shmup. Pretty pleased with the results so far.
