Retro Achievements so far has Pixel Pup at about 15 hours to complete, which is about right imo.

The PC version of Eridin will largely be just like the GBA version. But it will get some quality of life improvements and graphical flourishes here and there. Here's a simple example.

My first goal for my GBA/e-reader/PC strategy game is to bring this screen to life.

I'm making my next game be both a GBA/e-reader game and a PC game, from the same code base. This will be a good deal of extra work, but it will be worth it.

I think an e-reader game that communicates over the wireless adapter might be possible. It would be just about the most asinine video game ever made, which intrigues me :)

Hmmm ... nearly 5000 files changed. Oops, I had regenerated all of the random puzzles. Even when you're the sole developer on a project, code review is still good practice.

Sometimes puzzle race mode will really challenge your puzzle solving skills. Such as this doozy.

Even just testing puzzle race mode by myself is fun. I'm excited for my wife and I to compete. If it leads to me sleeping on the couch, I have succeeded! 😛

The RetroDotCards store will close on September 14th.
I will be selling packs at the Detroit Retro Game Show, November 7th.
There's a good chance after that, the cards will be unavailable for purchase.

Issue 66 of Return, a German retro gaming magazine, has an article on the e-Reader. They also added a side article about the Series One games. I never thought I'd be in a game magazine 😲

To add wireless support to Pixel PUp, I almost had to do ... nothing at all. Just some wireless graphics here and there. afska's GBA networking library just handles both modes seamlessly. If you are a GBA dev, this library is awesome.

Some bug fixes, polish, wireless adapter support, and a new two player mode: Puzzle Race. Who can solve a series of puzzles first?

Pixel Pup came out just in time, to, um ... celebrate? Windows 95's anniversary. Hope you don't get a blue screen of death! 😛

If you are playing Pixel Pup but don't have the e-reader, head into the e-reader menu and enter the Konami code.
It will unlock one puzzle. Not a big deal, but it will also add the e-reader puzzle environment into random, which is a nice plus.
