My latest game Robot Reaction has been released here on Newgrounds!

It combines the chain reaction genre with wario-ware 5-second round game play all wrapped in a sci-fi robot theme. I spent the past three days working on it full time and then it was time to turn it loose to see what I could learn from that. So far the response has been pretty good and I've been getting a lot of great feedback from the players. This will help me tune this game up as well as create an even better sequel.

The chain reaction genre is one that I have loved for a long time. I've played the classics like Boom Shine and I've played the newer ones like Polygonal Fury. I like the casino like random luck quality as well as trying to figure out the subtle strategies towards maximizing your chain reaction potential. I don't believe it is total luck as you can do things that certainly stack the odds in your favor. I think the thought of 'what if this time I get lucky?' is an itch that is fun to scratch. Plus it was a great excuse to draw sci-fi city scapes and exploding robots with shrapnel so what more do you need? Hah.

Thanks for playing everyone! Your thoughts and constructive feedback are more than welcome.

*UPDATE* Thank you everyone for the Daily Second Place award! It is always encouraging to get positive motivation like that.

My latest game Orange You Glad has just been released. I've had a lot of fun making this one and am excited to see what everyone thinks. It is a very surreal game and I hope people will find it unique and fun.

Hey everyone!

I'm happy to announce that I finally finished my first Flash / ActionScript 2 game. It's called TurnStyle and should be available to play from my profile page here. I spent most of February learning about Flash and ActionScript and found the "shootorials" over at Kongregate Labs to be a huge help.

I am psyched that people seem to be enjoying the game and finding it fairly original as far as the heavily saturated and boring image puzzle genres typically go. It features 15 graphic-novel style illustrations for each puzzle that also follow a story.

If you check it out I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!
