NFL Flick Quarterback / NFL Kicker! (Full Fat Games)

Craig — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 23:55:17 +0000

This is a pair of officially-licensed NFL games for iPhone / iPod / iPad that I made at work.

Featuring all 32 teams, some quality high-scoring ball-flicking action, and of course many shiny effects by yours truly.

Split Party!

Craig — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:11:27 +0000

This is a small puzzle game made for the 22nd Ludum Dare 48 hour competition, the theme of which was “alone”.

Rotate the blocks to separate them from their friends of the same colour.

There are only ten levels, mainly because the puzzle mechanics turned out to be a bit limiting when it came to designing levels. But, I’m really happy with how it turned out anyway. The levels that are there should be fun to play through, and it’s a complete, polished game.

UpBot Goes Up

Craig — Tue, 24 May 2011 06:36:02 +0000

The bots must reach their launch pads. They can only move in one direction, but luckily, they’re good at working together! An easy to learn, hard to master puzzle game.

UpBot Goes Up is an original puzzle game for Xbox Live Indie Games. It seems simple enough – press the A, B, X or Y buttons to move the DownBots, RightBots, LeftBots or UpBots in the direction they’re facing – but like all the best puzzle games it gets devilishly tricky by the end.

Creation of the game was started by LeFishy, Bateleur and myself at TIGJam UK – a game-making weekend for people from TIGSource.

- 60 levels split between three difficulties
- Shiny graphics
- Excellent music
- An Undo feature, to avoid annoying mistakes
- Colour-blind mode
- One-button mode (accessibility option)

Coin Drop (Full Fat Games)

Craig — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 18:51:36 +0000

Here’s another iPod / iPhone / iPad game that me and a few other guys made at work.

It’s a sparkly, colourful physics-based puzzler. Simply tap the screen to drop coins from the top. Try to light the pins, capture the Bad Pennies, rescue Girl Coins, smash bricks, demolish things, and tons more stuff too.

It’s a game I’m truly proud of, so please give it a go!

App Store Link

Did I mention it’s only £0.59 / $0.99 / ¥115 / 0,79 € ?

Twitter Highlights

Coin Drop seems to have an ability to generate some imaginative comments on Twitter, so here are some of my faves.

@charltonbrooker (Charlie Brooker..!)

Arrgh. Coin Drop on the iPhone. Angry Birds crossed with Peggle. That’s like crossing crack cocaine with bubble wrap. SEND HELP.

@hanellison

Oh dear, I downloaded coin drop.

@timallenphoto

The dog is actually playing Coin Drop!! Might want to wipe the screen afterwards though.

Coin Drop has passed the ‘legs have gone numb on the toilet’ test #tmimonday

oh Coin Drop, you luscious bastard.

Treasure Treasure: Fortress Forage: Extra Edition

Craig — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:03:42 +0000

Trixie and Troy need to combine their talents, think carefully and blow things up to find all the treasures – then another treasure – hidden in an abandoned castle.

Treasure Treasure: FFEE is a two player co-operative puzzle platformer for Xbox Live Indie Games. Trixie can jump higher but Troy is stronger, so working together is important if all 21 treasures are to be found!

Single-player mode is also included – but co-op is more fun! It’s a game about love and teamwork.

It’s an improved version of the original PC game. Featuring dynamic split-screen, improved music, retro-style LCD graphics, and an extra treasure to find!

Zombie Flick (Full Fat Games)

Craig — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:13:10 +0000

Using nothing but useless everyday objects, you must use your flicking skills to dismember and decapitate all that come at you if you want to survive!

Here’s a game I programmed at work! It’s a zombie-killing iPhone game featuring lots of unusual weaponry, dismemberment, decapitation, and a wicked slow-motion powerup that helps you really appreciate all my cool blood effects!

Puzzle Bots (Wadjet Eye Games)

Craig — Tue, 11 May 2010 19:26:52 +0000

‘Puzzle Bots’ is a light-hearted adventure game guaranteed to put a smile on your face. It’s got quirky characters, laugh-out-loud dialog, and brain-tickling puzzles.

This is a brilliant adventure game by Erin Robinson and Wadjet Eye Games, which I did some pixel art for! The dialogue is genuinely funny, and the gameplay is enjoyable for both you and your mother. What more could you ask for? Go buy it!

Johnny Platform’s Biscuit Romp

Craig — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 10:41:43 +0000

Play as Johnny Platform himself in this retro-styled platformer! Do death-defying double-jumps and solve puzzles in your quest to defeat the evil robot army… and don’t forget to drink plenty of coffee along the way.

JPBR started out as a DS homebrew game, and was later ported to Xbox Live Indie Games. Development time for both versions combined was around 2-3 weeks, so it’s a little rough around the edges but still plays nicely. The Xbox version comes with 5 extra levels, plus some re-ordering of the existing levels for difficulty balancing.

Treasure Treasure: Fortress Forage

Craig — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 10:40:48 +0000

Trixie and Troy need to combine their talents, think carefully and blow things up to find all the treasures hidden in an abandoned castle.

This is a two player split-screen puzzle/platform game, with local co-op only. You can use two joypads if you have them, but snuggling together on one keyboard is just as fun. The castle is pretty maze-like so there’s plenty of exploration to be done too.
