Liberate the Eight

This is my take on the 'number-crunching' genre of game.

It's called Liberate the Eight. The gameplay is simple: crush together blocks of the same number to double their value. Liberate the red block to level up. The game is over when you are out of moves. This game works on mobile.

Muncha Muncha

When I was a kid, one of my favorite toys was a handheld device called the Mini Munchman game. Very much like Pac Man, you guided Munchman through the maze, eating fruit and avoiding ghosts.

I've always wanted to create a game like that... so I have.

Muncha Muncha is a turn-based maze game, which sounds easy, but it takes place within quite a tight maze. You need to eat all the dots to finish the level. There are power-ups and side-doors.

You can play it on a mobile device: you should see a control panel pop up if you access it on a phone or tablet. On a keyboard device, you just use the arrow keys to move.

There are 30 levels in total.

Tutorial: Creating a Hangman Game in HTML5

One of the more popular Flash/AS3 tutorials was how to create a simple hangman game, so I've decided to do a version for HTML5. After all, with a little effort, anything we can do in Flash can be done in HTML5.

The tutorial is a good introduction to the various technologies used in HTML5: javascript, jquery, html, css and JSON. Sounds complicated, I know, but it's really not.

You can access the tutorial here:
