Hundred Plus

TechnoMono — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 17:46:33 +0000

I recently finished my second game. This time, it’s a brain game. The aim is to find the total of all numbers displayed on a 10×10 number board.

The game starts off with just one number, and increases by one each level. There are 100 levels in total. As ever, I’d like to hear your feedback/suggestions.

What level can you make it to?

RingShot Updated!

I just updated RingShot. It now has a level select screen! I have also simplified the game menu.

It should be a lot easier to play through the game since your progress is now saved; can anyone complete it now!?

Sudoku

In searching the net for brain games I stumbled onto funbrain.com. Of particular interest is their version of Sudoku, it’s the best Sudoku game I’ve played so far. If you’ve never played Sudoku before, fear not, for it has a very good in-game tutorial.

The game looks very nice and is pleasant to play. It has a cool feature that allows you to put littles sticky notes on a square to remind you which numbers are allowed to go there. I especially like the Check and Hint features.

You’ll find many more quality games on funbrain.com. I’ll be using these games as inspiration for my own works. So be sure to go check them out.

Two must-see games

I had to tell you about these two games because their just so darn good.

Rose & Camellia is probably the most hilarious Flash game I’ve ever played. You play as Reiko and must slap your way through the ladies of the Tsubakikoji family to claim the Tsubakikoji house, which Reiko believes is rightfully hers.

The game play is as simple as a click and drag of the mouse to lead Reiko’s hand to your opponents face, which feels very intuitive. With fast reflexes and a strong offense, the house will be yours. I don’t think you could ever tire of slapping those ladies senseless. I highly recommend checking this game out.

Koozac is my new favorite brain game. Think Tetris but with numbers. All you have to do is arrange the falling blocks so that they add up to the sum displayed in the top right of the screen, in order to clear them.

This game will tax your mental arithmetic skills, and make you smarter in the process. So you have no excuse not to workout your brain. But be warned, it’s highly addictive.

The game has a professional polish and is well built. It has inspired me to step up my own development skills.

RingShot - TechnoMono’s first game!

Here’s my first game, feel free to play it and let me know what you think.

Game preloader

TechnoMono — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:23:14 +0000

Generally, Flash games need to be completely download before they can be played. This is why the vast majority of Flash games use preloaders, which force the game to wait until everything has downloaded, while providing a visual indication of the load-progress.

(In the demo below, you can change the download speed as well as the amount that is downloaded)

Build a game like Sproing

TechnoMono — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 16:13:25 +0000

Sproing is a very simple and intuitive Flash game. It’s also rather addictive. The object of the game is to destroy green orbs by hitting them hard enough with a blue orb which is connected to the mouse via a spring force. You’ll have to play the game to see what I mean. In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to make the blue orb spring to the mouse. Obviously, I wont show you how to make the complete game. The demo below shows exactly what we’ll be making:

Destructible box

I’m going to show you how to make a destructible box (as seen in the demo below) which you can use in your flash games. In the demo, I’ve put the box in a simple game environment, to give you an idea of how the box might look in a game.
