My updated version of Wor Games will have a quick, skippable tutorial before each game (can be turned off). Especially useful for the new game modes and players not familiar with #wizardofwor.

Apologies for anyone who tried to download Wor Games only to find there were no executables! No idea what happened but I've rebuilt and copied the files to itch.

Proper player sprites (no more piggies 🎉) for my #picotron #wizardofwor like game.

Started sound-effects too, which makes a huge difference to the feel!

"Alien Frenzy" mode in Wor Games (#wizardofwor) adds alien eggs and pac-man type power-ups for collecting them. Leave it too long and they hatch into super-fast baby monsters! Totally different and fun experience to the other modes.

Player 2 & firing with wall collisions in place for #picotron my #wizardofwor-like. Feels fun already, even though you can't do anything - maybe a bit of nostalgia at play!

Well, that was a fun challenge! Maze effects now implemented for #picotron #wizardofwor with a pretty minimal CPU cost. Pretty happy with that.

Next, the wizard!!!

Quick session on my #picotron #wizardofwor like game before work. Radar and invisible monsters! Certainly raises the tension!

Next, firing enemies or maybe player sprites - pigs look cute but not for this game 🤔

20 minutes before work so quickly added a star field and player start state to my #picotron #wizardofwor project.

Should probably look at updating the player sprite next 😀

Although #pacman type levels are scattered throughout my #picotron #wizardofwor game "wor games", I decided to add a game mode so all levels have pellets and eggs.

Need to have 4 separate high-score tables now!

Did some serious 1p (plus CPU) testing today. I'm rubbish 🤣

Double score dungeons in my #picotron #wizardofwor game. Starting to feel authentic.

Need to do the fuzzy maze effects next. Think I'll need to read up on picotron video memory!

The highly chaotic "wizard of wor".

That's all until early Jan since I'm off on holiday for a week. Feels like I got the main bones in place for when I get back!

Testing out 2 player mode with my daughter in #picotron #wizardofwor. Great fun and, with some sfx in place, you can really feel the tension!

Thanks for shooting me straight away, Soph 🤣

Any level can become a #pacman style level in my #picotron #wizardofwor.

Power-pills (or eggs) spawn in corners which looks like it makes things easy. But, all is not as it seems; I have an idea...

What is your game character or cover telling you?
Quote with lyrics:

"Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya"

🛠️PIPECLEANERS IN PROGRESS🛠️

A Mothman and a Thorwor. Which is a scorpion/lizard hybrid from Wizard of Wor. Which is a videogame I fell in love with and inspired me to become an artist. Also a videogame that came out likely before your parents met.

THORWOR (Wizard of Wor)
Pipe cleaner figure
Finished. I like the electric blue venom sac beneath the stinger

Pipe cleaner frame with acrylic paint, fun foam, and wooden eyes. Stands 2" (5.08 cm) high at the shoulder.
