OP here. Let me know if you have any questions about my project.

I have two for you! Feel free to ignore them if they're a bit too personal. 1) What is your previous work experience before beginning this? 2) Is your goal to get into the gaming industry, or is this just a hobby? [edit] I also just want to say I really enjoy your project! It's motivated me to start something similar... soon.

what game engine or tools are you using?
- lessmilk 13y ago
  Engine: Phaser [0], a Javascript framework to make 2D games. Tools: Sublime Text and Photoshop mainly. [0]: www.phaser.io

    how did you make the sprites and animate them? do you have a tutorial on this?
    - lessmilk 13y ago
      I simply use Photoshop. No real tutorial on this yet, but I plan to write one in the next few weeks. In the meantime you can read about my process making the sprite for game #6 on my blog: http://blog.lessmilk.com/pixel-art-how-i-made-the-princess-in-game-6/ http://blog.lessmilk.com/pixel-art-how-i-made-the-princess-i...

Any chance you release these on mobile?

  You mean releasing native iOS/Android games? Yes, I'm thinking about it.

    i'm tempted to just get all those games, put in a "full screen" page and adding either touch events or simply using the trackball (which a few old ancient android phones still have)

    Don't bother with PhoneGap on Android, the experience is terrible (especially on Android 4.4). A good alternative is the CrossWalk project. On iOS PhoneGap runs reasonably well.

I think it's awesome. Haters hate. Love that it starts with a wtf challenge -- invests the user. Love that your exploring mechanics without all the news.

hey lessmilk, I liked the games, actualy played longer then i intendet the #6 :=) The Gameplay Mixing Board was used for the ingame music in the last one. Is this a free musik then, or did you just asked the autor to use it?

On the last level, there's a part where you have to get coins on a ledge with three reds, two up and down, and one horizontally moving. I kept getting hit by the horizontal red even though I didn't go down the ledge.

Why a week? I'm trying the "one game a month" challenge and I find it very difficult for one single reason: cut out things so it's possible to finish the game in a month! Do you think it would be harder if you had more time per game?
