Game 45: Wavespark II

Nathan McCoy — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 11:47:04 +0000

w00t! I am really, really satisfied with this one, though I don’t know whether that’s in spite or because of the sleep it’s cost me. I personally feel that it’s a worthy successor to the original Wavespark, while still being a new and different game of its own. Enjoy!

Update: For those of you who are having trouble with the web version, I’ve created a downloadable version for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Game 41: Circus Peanuts

Nathan McCoy — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 08:32:47 +0000

This is my entry for Ludum Dare #19, “Discovery”. There’s a lot I didn’t get to (like more than 3 kinds of enemies, geography besides bushes, and stuff in chests besides peanuts). Even so, there’s still plenty to discover (check out the megadungeon at (-20, -142, 0) if you have some time on your hands). Go explore.

Game 39: Snake Oil

Nathan McCoy — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 07:56:06 +0000

This game is sort of like a cross between Asteroids and the classic snake game. Only you spin the stuff instead of eating it or shooting it. And sometimes you catch on fire. And… yeah. Anyway.

Game 38: Excessive Bludgeoning

Nathan McCoy — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 10:21:14 +0000

Another tiny simple game, intended to be nothing more than what it is. It’s good to do stuff like this sometimes. Enjoy.

Game 37: Dragondot’s Extreme Beach Volleyball

Nathan McCoy — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:33:32 +0000

Sometimes a joke refuses to remain just a joke. Sometimes it becomes an inspiration, and the inspiration becomes an obsession, and soon you’re finding yourself dropping everything else to pursue that crazy idea.

On the other hand, sometimes you just have a whimsical impulse to make a goofy spinoff game.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. Much love from me and the kobolds.

Game 34: Die young or die trying

Nathan McCoy — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 07:44:15 +0000

As a newly-hatched meteor phoenix, you have but one simple and straightforward goal in life: Hit the ground as hard as possible.

Game 29: Grabitas

Nathan McCoy — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 03:57:55 +0000

This game was created for the Ludum Dare #18 Compo: “Enemies as Weapons”. Fling enemies at each other to destroy them, and collect the green things to earn points and heal yourself. Enjoy.

Game 28: Giant Vex

Nathan McCoy — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:05:09 +0000

I tried and tried, but with the title of this game being what it is I just couldn’t make a game that was not this game. That being the case, you will not be getting any apologies from me – it was simply not possible to prevent this game from being itself, so I did my best to make this game the game that it wanted itself to be. So go forth and vex already.

Game 18: Dragondot’s Sky

Nathan McCoy — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:10:53 +0000

It’s finally here – the sequel to the much-beloved Dragondot! It’s kind of hard to explain all the sources of inspiration that went into this, so you should probably just try it out (and feel free to guess in the comments). Be patient with the download – I wrote a ton of songs for this one, so it may take a bit.
Oh – one more thing that may not be obvious at first: if you move into an area with 20% threat or higher, you’ll be forced to fight rather than passing through.

What are you waiting for? Go play it!

Game 14: Ribbonoid

Nathan McCoy — Thu, 06 May 2010 05:30:38 +0000

Ribbonoid is kinda like a cross between Arkanoid, Electroplankton, Kirby:Canvas Curse, Balloon Fight, and Qix. Kinda. Just try it out and see for yourself.
