Please follow the link and buy it if you wish to support TCKSOFT and encourage me to create more software for mobile platforms as well as games for the PC.

When enough copies have been sold to recoup my Android Developer account, I will post the PC version for free right here.

Hopefully you will consider it 65p well spent to be able to relive that genuine retro feeling and demolish entire cities at your whim.

You can get to the game’s market place page thus: Click me!

If you would rather use the camera on your phone with a barcode scanner, here is a QR CODE for the game:

I’m The Caffeine Kid and I would like your help please.

I’ve had a sucky few years now, losing a parent and becoming separated from my wife and taking in my daughter after her mum threw her out and was going to put her in care but I have done my best to keep my chin up.

One of the things that has kept me going is my iPod Touch which I can use to video chat with my wife and 2 month old son, so that he can see what his daddy looks like and not forget me and hear my voice when I can’t be there because I’m here with my daughter who also needs me very much and has had a pretty bad couple of years herself.

I’m not trying to whine or feel sorry for myself, but I do sometimes, I’m trying to stay positive and look to the future.

Yesterday my iPod Touch was stolen and I feel like the bottom has fallen out of my world because I won’t be able to video chat and see my son now and I cannot go and stay with them because my daughter cannot be left unattended.

If you have ever called me your friend, or even if you don’t know me really but have enjoyed something I’ve said on the internet or have enjoyed playing one of my games in the past please click the buy me a coffee link at the right of this page and throw me a couple of pounds.

If I can get the money for an iPod touch to replace my stolen one then words cannot express what that would mean to me.

Thank you for reading my begging letter, sorry for being a drag.

If this post raises the money in the next week or two I will start coding again, and if it raises any extra that will go back into this site and into the tools to create my next game – hopefully for iPod/Android too and not just PC.

Sorry for waffling on – and thank you again for listening.

The only update in the game is that there is a spawing animation for the player and also for the enemies.

Online high-score registration files are still available if anyone would like to give a donation to my pitiful funds. Thank you.

Grab the update on the game page. Have fun.

You can get it here.

It’s a mash up between Zoop by Viacom and some Mario type stuff. In the original Zoop (which was supposed to be the next Tetris but never really took off) you can fire up and down also but I’ve simplified things by making it just left and right, but making the lanes a few lines wider.

I hope you enjoy it, at least for a few minutes.

There were well over 100 entries this year which is amazing and I’m sure if nothing else there are now sooo many cool new one-switch games for people to enjoy which is a fantastic result in itself.

I describe this game as a kind of Hungry Hippos Meets Pang In Space With Lasers, but I think the final title is a little more snappy.

You can download the game from the new “Non Remakes” section of the site, going to “Downloads” at the top of the site or simply following this link.

I hope you enjoy the game – if you do, or even if you don’t, be sure to let me know.

The challenge is to code a game for up to four players, using a single button each to play the game.

The game must also only last up to five minutes including the game and any game over screens, etc.

I have had an idea in mind for weeks but only just put virtual pen to paper as it were and started coding.

The idea I have looks great in my head and it would be a shame not to bring it in to the light of reality. I just hope it plays nicely and is fun.

I’ve never coded a multi-player game before (surprisingly enough) so this is going to be something new for me.

Wish me luck.

Fingers crossed there is now a version 1.02 of the game that should work for people who couldn’t get it running before.

Go get the game…

I’ve fixed some wrongly sized textures and also compiled the game with the latest version of Blitz3D (v1.103) which has had some fixes for Data Execution Protection which might have stopped it working on a few machines.

Because of the Blitz3D version I’m using for the game now I had to rip out the music playback and replace it with Bass.dll based music playing – the Fmod implementation in B3D versions over 1.086 are totally broken and cause seemingly random crashes when using some music formats, which is a shame. It’s terrible that this has never been fixed even though it’s been known of for literally years and years now.

Aaaanyway… Hopefully the game will run for everyone (fingers crossed) now.

If you have any problems with this (or any other of my games) then please let me know.

I don’t have an Intel Mac or a Linux machine here so I can’t test them myself.

Can someone please grab them if you are on either of those OSes and let me know if they work and if they work well enough?

Thank you!

Donations received = 4

I must say I’m rather disappointed.

I hope people get some fun and enjoyment out of the game – and I want to see all your high-scores in the online board.
