Talking about Android, Box2D, C#, Construct, Defold, Game development, HTML5, iOS, Javascript, Monetize, Phaser and Unity3D.
I am writing during the last hours of the last day in 2017, and as a year ends it’s time for a small recap of the game series I published during this year.
It was a positive year with 18 game series created from scratch or updated. I would like you to have a look at them but most of all to suggest me if there is something you would like to see explained during 2018.
1 – Mike Dangers: an endless platformer game which also became Ladderz full game, available as a premium download featuring line-by-line in-depth commented source code. You can play the game online or download as a native Android or iOS app from triqui.com, and getting the source code will definitively help to support the blog.
2 – Tipsy Tower: a simple physics game which have been explained using various phyiscs engines and various tools and frameworks, such as Phaser, Unity, Defold, Panda 2 and Construct 3. The prototype also became a full game called Stack the Crates you can play online or download as a native Android app from triqui.com.
3 – zNumbers: another successful series creating a puzzle game with a procedural random level generator, using Phaser and Defold. The series also became a full game called znumberz you can play online or download as a native Android or iOS app from triqui.com.
4 – Warp Shift: although I only published the first step in the creation of this cute puzzle game, I had a great feedback on social networks, so I will definitively continue the series in 2018.
5 – Risky Steps: this is not a series but a complete HTML5 game made with Phaser, with full source code available, as the result of Circle Path prototype started in 2016.
6 – Bejeweled: this ever-growing game series has been updated with a jQuery-only version of the game.
7 – Boom Dots: a simple one button game made in 2015, updated to a more recent Phaser version, along with the source code.
8 – Mass Attack: one of the first game series, started back in 2007, written in Phaser 3 nd probably the first game prototype made in Phaser 3 with source code available.
9 – 1+2=3: a quick math game series created in 2015 and updated to a more recent Phaser version, released with commented source code.
10 – Flipping Legend: a 3D game which got a huge success on mobile devices, now explained in 2D with a top-down view.
11 –Spellfall: a series started in 2014, updated to a more recent Phaser version. A match-3 game where you can swap tiles no matter where they are.
12 – Down the Mountain: another huge success started in 2015 and constantly updated in 2017 too.
13 – Yeah Bunny: a full featured platform game including jump, double jump, wall jump, wall sliding, all controlled by a single tap.
14 – Zhed: a number puzzle game which had some success on mobile devices, explained in a two-step series.
15 – Sokoban: the king of tile based puzzle games, explained in a lot of languages, from AS3 to pure JavaScript, updated this year with a Phaser version controlled by swipes and featuring unlimited undos.
16 – Pudi: a drag to match game which perfectly fits in a tutorial series.
17 – String Avoider: an old “mouse avoider” prototype now becomes a “finger avoider” using Phaser, an old concept revamped which positively deserves some attention.
18 – Drag and Match: match games are evergreen so here is the drag and match engine updated to a more recent Phaser version with object pooling to save resources.
