Nutso in a Cage Match

Over at the Game Maker forums, Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso has just been chosen to take part in the latest of the forum cage matches.

When I checked it was winning by 11 votes to 1. :)

I'm ill

So if you're owed an e-mail or an update or anything, please bear with me while I rid myself of these horrendous germs.

E-mail problems

All my web sites appear to be working, yet half my e-mail addresses are failing. At the moment I'm waiting for my hosting provider to respond, but if any of you reading this have had e-mails bounce or are waiting for a reply to something, this is the reason. I'm very sorry, but it's out of my hands for the moment.

As these problems seem to be a regular occurence, I may have to look elsewhere for my hosting.

Sometimes, beta testing throws up something unexpected...

I have a number of poeple beta testing Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso and this morning I was reading through some e-mails that arrived overnight. Imagine the wonderful pleasure I felt when I read this in an e-mail from one of the testers:

"All in all, I'm completely and thoroughly happy that the game is so much fun, and requires me to do more thinking. It's not as easy as it first appears to be, and I love it!"

You often see quotes from "stars" of the industry and from the major magazines and websites, but for me a response like this from a player tells me so much more.

Nutso Demo on GamersHell

For those of you who would like to save my bandwidth, you can now find the demo on GamersHell here.

Free Demo of Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso!

The amount of work I've put in over the last couple of weeks has been quite scary, but at last I have the game at a Beta stage. In order to take a little break (of sorts) I've created a demo of the first part of the game. For those who are interested, you can download the demo from the downloads page here.
