Hi players, I've just published my last game based on the Four Color Theorem. It's built in HTML5 with Phaser 3.19.0 (phaser.io) and available on Kongregate. Link: https://www.kongregate.com/games/toweld/four-color-theorem-coloring-puzzle-game?sfa=permalink&referrer=toweld If you don't know the four color theorem, here is a short abstract from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem) In simple terms, the goal is to color the entire map so that two adjacent regions do not have the same color. Regions are called adjacent (next to each other) if they share a segment of the border, not just a point. The game is a good way to discover or experiment with that theorem. Have fun! Pascal

Guys, I have just rolled out a new puzzle game which is unique in its gameplay. I request you to provide a feedback and ways you think this puzzle can be improved. The puzzle is quite interesting and needs a lot of strategy and number crunching for high scores. Though I myself has been consistently scoring over a few thousands minimum for each completed game, I have not seen anybody else reach even 500 so far. I am not sure if this is because of lack of clarity or instructions. Your helpful insight will help. Your feedback is much appreciated. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.algotgames.spreadthenumber [Update] - Added web version of the game @ http://www.playonlinedicegames.com/spreadthenumber

Hi Everyone, Here is my new game Jelly Doods. Jelly Doods is a puzzle game with one simple rule: stick the same color jellies together. To do so the player can slide the blocks horizontally and vertically in the grid. The current demo comes with 12 levels (the last 2 levels are much harder on purpose, the difficulty will be paced out evenly in the final version). I am planning to release the game with 50 original levels. Here is the video: Link to demo: http://games.okijin.com/jellydoodsdemo/ Hope you enjoy, Feedback welcome.

Hello all, This is my new game Okto. Goal of this game is to avoid collision between the ball and the oktagons, and survive as much as possible. You can play it here: http://netgfx.com/trunk/games/okto/ Here are some screens also - Fun fact: first I had tried to create this game with KineticJS canvas framework (don't get me wrong it is an amazing framework). But I could not get passed 30fps even on desktop devices, whilst the code was highly optimized. With Phaser all my problems are solved and I'm seeing 50-60 fps at least on newer mobile devices and of-course dekstop. Thanks for your time!
