I’ve just finished work on revamping an old flash experiment of mine, into a nice little puzzle game, and also, a brand new game!

Word Shoot!

Blast through the sea of soaring letters in this space based action packed word game.

Rules –

Click the letters flying through space, to make words. The longer and more difficult the word, the more points you’ll pick up. It’s not easy though. The letters swim and spin in the direction in which you move your mouse. So move toward a letter and it will dash away. It’s all about carefully moving in the opposite direction, and then pouncing at the right moment.

Once you’ve wrangled your word, hit space to explode the letters, clearing your way through space. You’ll have to be quick though, keep the amount of letters under 150 otherwise it’s goodbye galaxy.

You’ll need magnificent mouse control, a marvelous memory and a mind for anagrams to battle through this lexicon lark.

Right click for sound and quality settings.

Blockade!

Navigate the numbered blocks in this innovative, intriguing and original puzzle game – as simple and addicting as Sudoku!

Rules –

In Blockade you must navigate the field of blocks, surviving as long as possible.
Each block has a number, governing where you may move next. You may only move to blocks whose numbers are higher than, the same as or exactly half your current block’s value.
If you are on block 9 however, you can move to a block 1, to start over. You lose the game when you can no longer move!
This is a fun, thoughtful puzzle game, with surprising depth!

I was lucky enough to get a great review from Jeff over at 8 Bit Rocket, and get added to Mochimedia’s list of featured games! Sweet!

I’ve also added in a games page to the top header, to house a few of the games I’ve worked on over the last few years.

Great fun Lawrie, but also a bit frustrating:)
I really like the different design in the two games.

Thanks Ricki. Yeah I know they’re both quite tough and unforgiving – seems to be the hallmark of my puzzle games…
