Tower Of Heaven
Tower of Heaven
Tower of Heaven is a Game Boy-styled platform game with a great soundtrack that keeps adding conditions for failure. The controls are simple, but it's easy to get near the end of a section and accidentally break one of the game's many rules. Take ten minutes and try this out. Since then, they've made another game, Pause Ahead, which I want to run blind on my stream soon.
Speedrun times are almost a minute faster than this. This is a fun game to run, and I'd totally race this on SpeedRunsLive. There's only one real skip, and everything else is just platforming skill.

Jamaican bobsled team raises $30,000 in dogecoin
You know Bitcoin? The crypto-currency that’s about as fake as real money? It’s apparently big enough that there was a need for an alternative. Liam Butler likes that doge meme so he created dogecoin. He also liked Cool Runnings so he started a fund, Dogesled, to send the Jamaican bobsled team to the 2014 Sochi Olympics. They raised 27 million dogecoins, or $30,000.
I…I couldn’t make this stuff up.
So meme. But money? Much real. Such surprise. Wow.

Dr. Fatbody - Sonic the Hedgehog 1 at AGDQ2019
Awesome Games Done Quick 2019 brought us a Sonic 1 run by Dr. Fatbody, a highly entertaining player with the speed and precision of a yung Wumbo. He tries risky tricks that backfire sometimes and will goof off a little for style. When everything works, he’s really fast! He reminds me of my own playaround style, and now I know why. He’s also from the fighting game community and plays Zangief in Street Fighter V! It all makes perfect sense now.

I Need More Music
UPDATE: Here's the same playlist on Google Play Music.
Hey, you! I need some music recommendations to get me through long days at work. In the comments, please give me an album or a playlist that I’m not already listening to and that I can find either on Spotify or free on the Internet somewhere. I’m an openminded metalhead and I like just about any music if it’s hard enough. As for my own recommendations, here’s a metal playlist I made about a year ago.

Angry Video Game Nerd: Mega Man Games
The Nerd takes us back to his own past this time. In ten years on YouTube, James Rolfe’s editing skills have come a long way. This episode took 138+ hours of work! The Mega Man series is incredibly smooth at its core, but sometimes it loses sight of what makes it feel good to play.

Ludum Dare #28 is on!
I’ve entered this weekend’s Ludum Dare competition! Sure, it’s been two weeks since my last post here, but it’s been a full year since my last game compo. They announce a theme Friday night and you have 48 hours to make a game with that theme. I competed in LD #23 and LD #25 using Game Maker 7 and I’m pretty happy with those games, but this time I’m changing it up and using HTML5.
The theme for LD #28 is “You Only Get One.” I don’t know what I’m making yet, but I know I want to use HTML5’s Local Storage to make sure you don’t get another “one” by reloading the game. I need to test if my HTML5 Local Storage, Canvas, and Audio methods work on all of my target browsers, so here’s a quick demo. What you type into it gets stored in your browser’s local storage and doesn’t get sent to our servers. Check back here Sunday night and I’ll post the finished product.
(In the original WordPress post, I embedded my HTML5 Test here. Tumblr doesn’t support HTML5 canvases in posts. That makes me sad.)

Did You Know Gaming? – Star Fox
(The original post on my Wordpress blog had five Did You Know Gaming? entries in the same post. When porting to Tumblr, I decided to give each reblog its own post since that's the way Tumblr seems to work. I might change this later.)

Gashi Gashi – E-can
The animations on pixiv are just a series of PNGs animated in HTML5. Luckily, Gashi Gashi also posted a GIF of this on Tumblr, so I'd added that here. When Mega Man charges up a shot, he starts flashing, but everything else that's the same color as Mega Man flashes too.
UPDATE: Gashi Gashi posted this animation as a GIF on Tumblr, so it’s here now.
