Color Collapse + 0.06

With my big focus being on Twelve Months of Doomsday, the enhanced version of Color Collapse that I envision is going to be a while. I am thinking that the big push for the enhanced features and play modes won't be until 2013 which means that I am now considering changing this project from Flash to HTML 5. Feel free to email me if you have a preference. That said, this month I am adding the last set of original levels (part 3) to the game so if you never finished those levels, you can try again with the new undo feature to make the process of solving the levels much easier.

Deadly Dodge Ball

It is time for a Friday the 13th release so I decided to do a scary thing with my current Friday the 13th project. Not only am I porting it from Flash to HTML5. Even more scary, at least from my perspective, I am trying out a new library for handling the graphics (more details on this on the Blazing Games Development Blog next week). This is the game of Dodge Ball, but with deadly flaming fireballs. See how long you can survive.

Twelve Months of Doomsday episode 4: Space Shield

A Solar Flair on the sun is sending a large electromagnetic pulse towards Earth and you need to put up a series of satellites to aid in deflecting the pulse before it causes decades worth of damage to the power infrastructure.

Update: On May 1st posted an updated version that fixes bugs, has better collision detection, has proper scoring and bonuses, more sound (if enabled) and proper unlimited mode.
