Speedy Thief Dash

 

Speedy Thief Dash is finished and ready to play!

Summary:
Speedy Thief must dash through the rooms as fast as he can, picking up treasure along the way. He has a limited amount of time, so he has to move quickly.

How to Move:
Click where you want Speedy Thief to go. He will move in a straight line towards the spot you clicked. If there is a wall in the way, he will try to go around it as best he can, but it is hard to be nimble when you are dashing about like lightning.

How to Attack:
To set a bomb, click directly on Speedy Thief. When you click somewhere else to move, the bomb will go off. If you want to defuse the bomb, click directly on Speedy Thief again. Bombs can blow up enemies, open chests and destroy brick walls. You have a limited supply of bombs.

Play the Game!

Speedy Thief Dash Infographic

Speedy Thief Dash has been in development for three years. Three YEARS!! That is too long. This game will NEVER be finished... but it is...almost finished!

Here is an infographic for the game explaining the game's controls.

Speedy Thief Dash is a sequel to the smash hit Speady Thief. The ninja in this game is the grandson of the original Sneaky Thief.  He is super fast and drops bombs instead of using a sword. Currently there are 100 levels to dash through, with five floors and hundreds of different level layouts.

Snow Angels Update 1.3

A new update for Snow Angels is live at:
http://www.cartoondan.com/games/Snow_Angels.html

New Level Layouts
In this update I added 70 new level layouts. Most of the layouts are for the more difficult stages. They have more bad guys on them but also a lot more pickles and stars.

These are the levels you get to play only if you consistently defeat all of the bad guys quickly, don't get hurt and score really high (usually by getting all the pickles).  Don't worry if you are not very good at the game you will probably never see these more challenging layouts. They are mostly designed for players who have unlocked all of the character upgrades.

Coins and Points
If you have unlocked all the upgrades, then you no longer need coins. Now all unneeded coins turn to points at the end of each level you complete. Each coin is worth 100 points. Now you can get an even higher score! Even if you don't think you want all the upgrades, it is worth unlocking them so you can start getting points for your coins.

Pacifist Mode
To enter Pacifist mode simply do not knock down any of the enemies. Just dodge the enemy fire and try to hit the Christmas Pickles. Once you knock down an enemy you will hear a negative sound and exit Pacifist Mode for remainder of the game. This is a alternative (non-violent) way of playing the game.

Now there are more ways to score points in Pacifist Mode. When you make it to the end of a level you now score 300 points. Star multipliers are now worth x3 each in Pacifist Mode instead of x2 each. Rabbits are worth 2000 points each if you can keep them safe up to the end of the level.

Bug Fixes
A few bug fixes were made.

Now go try the game!

Pacifist Mode in Snow Angels

 

 

Some people may prefer not to knock their fellow man senseless with balls of packed snow and ice. If you are such a person then Snow Angels has a secret mode just for you. You can play Snow Angels without having to defeat your enemies with snowballs if you are in Pacifist Mode.

To enter Pacifist Mode simply do not knock down any of the enemies with snowballs on level one. Normally if time runs out and there are still enemies standing, you run away sacred yelling "RUN!"and loose a heart. In Pacifist Mode you yell "Bye!" at the end of the level and you do not loose any health. As soon as you knock down an enemy you will exit Pacifist mode.

You can still score points in Pacifist Mode. You can knock down trees and snowmen to gain a few points, but your main source of points will come from hitting the hidden Christmas Pickles for 2000 points. Look out for the star multiplies and with a careful shot you can turn that 2000 points into 4000 or 6000. Just hit the star and the pickle with the same snowball.

Hopefully Pacifist Mode will give players a fun friendly alternative way to play the game.

In the future I plan on adding some game achievements to Snow Angels that will include some achievements for Pacifist mode. I will also add in a few more ways to score points, new sound effects and new cut scenes made specifically for Pacifist Mode.

Snow Angels

My new game Christmas game Snow Angels is finished and can be played at:
http://www.cartoondan.com/games/Snow_Angels.html

 It's a snowball fight! Defeat all the enemies on a level to pass the level. When you beat a level the time left on the clock will be turned into bonus points. If time runs out you will loose one heart and run away scared to the next level. If you get hit too many times and loose all your hearts it's game over.

- Click below the dotted line to move to that spot
- Click above the dotted line to throw a snowball
- Stand still to dig for new snowballs (refill your ammo)

To aim, wait for the arrow to point at the object you want to hit. The arrow moves back and forth on its own. When it is lined up with your target click to throw a snowball in that direction. You can also bounce snowballs off the edge of the screen to perform some tricky shots.

Scoring
On each level there is at least one hidden Christmas Pickle. Hit it to score a cheery 2000 points! It's worth a look!

You can get point multipliers if you hit a star and then a target with the same snowball. Lining up the shot can be tricky but you can score massive points.
On some levels your little sister will tag along with you. If you keep her safe and beat the level, she will give you a heart to refill some of your lost health. If you beat a level and keep the woodland creatures safe, they will give you some bonus points.

Upgrades
When you defeat another snowballer, coins will pop out of them. Grab them quick before they disappear. At the end of your game you can use these coins to upgrade your character. Become stronger, faster, and throw different snowballs.

The better you play the game the more interesting and challenging things you will see.

My new game Diving Birds is up and ready to play: http://www.cartoondan.com/games/Diving_Birds.html

Help a cute little birdie take its first flight. Fly as far as you can by diving and bouncing on clouds, leaves, turkeys, angels and all sorts of crazy stuff.

When you fly up super high you might see a UFO.

I think this angel just got bonked by a bird.

This grumpy cloud doesn't like to be bounced on.

Dive!

Grim Reaper

Things are starting to get crazy. Pigs are flying!

 Have fun playing the game. It is easy to control. Just hold the mouse down to dive. The harder you hit an object the further you will bounce up from it. Try it out at http://www.cartoondan.com/games/Diving_Birds.html

Kick Head Update 2.2

The new version of Kick Head is now live at: http://cartoondan.com/games/kick2.html

There is a new level one where you compete in a kick head clan tournament to see who is the best kicker in the dojo.

The game now has a store where you can buy power ups and new moves. The coins you earn while playing are permanently saved, so you can save up your coins after multiple play throughs. The new moves you earn are also permanent so you can always use them once you earn them.

Above is the "Fat Scorpion Tail" power up. It Increases your strength during the next level. There are also power ups that give you health, boost your speed,  and increase the rate your spirit bar fills up.

This is the "Dragon Kick" special move. It is good for hitting enemies from a distance.

Diving Birds

Diving Birds is a "Launch" game, where you help a baby bird fly for the first time. Try to help the Legless bird fly as far as she can. When you hold down the mouse, the little birdie will do into a nose dive. If you hit clouds or other objects you will bounce off them and gain some height. The faster you are going down the higher you will bounce back up.

This is a diving bird.

This is one of the objects you can bounce on.

Ping's Quest - Pigs

Ping's Quest is going to be a story driven game with little cut scenes in between each level. The first chapter of the story will probably be about six levels long.

These are some of the pigs from chapter one. Sparky is a character in the story. He is Ping's friend and mount. Ping rides on him when going on trips into the dark forest. Sparky's nose also makes him an excellent tracker. He can sniff out a boysenberry pie from a mile away.

The Angry boars are not very friendly. They do not like Sparky or any other hairless pig. They are enemies. Ping and his fellow elves like the angry boars because they turn into ready to eat meat when you shoot them with an arrow.

Tortoise Tumble Version 1.4

Tortoise Tumble Version 1.4 is complete.
You can play it here: http://www.cartoondan.com/games/Tortoise_Tumble2.html

Here is a list of the items that were updated.

     - New game mode, Tactical Mode.
     - Global high scores were added.

The biggest new feature is the Tactical Mode. Tactical mode has no time limit, so you can play it at your own pace and plan out your moves. You have a limited number of moves to complete the game with. At the end of each level you are awarded a set number of extra moves. You can earn more bonus moves by finishing a level with a tortoise on a "+1" square.

Rocket MX

My newest game Rocket MX is now live at http://www.cartoondan.com/games/RocketMX.html.

Jump off ramps and use your turbo to stay in the air and land gently. When you land your bike make sure to use turbo to slow down your speed and land softly. If you hit the ground too fast you will crash. You can hit jumps at any speed and safely bounce off them.

Perform tricks to earn extra points. Score as many points as you can.

I had an old version of Rocket Mx that I made about eight years ago. When I made it, I thought it was pretty good. When I played it again a few months ago I no longer liked it very much. I decided to remake it from scratch. I like the new version a lot better. I wonder If I will still like it eight from now.

2Bit No Kick

The new game 2Bit No Kick is now up at cartoondan.com/2Bit_No_Kick.html

title screen

This game is done in the 2Bit style of old Atari games. I played a lot of old, strange games on my Atari 800 growing up. Most of the truly strange stuff came on floppy discs we got from our neighbor. These games were made by ordinary people and passed along on an early version of the Internet. At this point I had no idea what the Internet was. Most people didn't.

I got the idea for this game right after I kicked my nephew. I like my nephew a lot. He's a good fellow. One day he was bugging me to do something. I tried to stay calm but he kept escalating his bugging. First it was poking, then kicking, head buts, and then full body rams. I lost my cool and gave him a little kick.

Sometimes it is hard to stay relaxed. That's where 2Bit No Kick comes in. It gives you practice staying relaxed.

game screen

The game is pretty simple. The black boxes go across the blue bars at random times and at random speeds. You need to click on the blue bar when the black box is on top of the green box. The closer it is to the center of the green box the more points you get. When you make mistakes your character gets more and more stressed out. When he gets too angry he looses his cool and kicks.

One of the best things about this game is the "Customization" tool. You can change the way the characters look and what they say. You can make the main character look like you and have the other guy look like your little sister, boss, ex-wife or whoever.

customize screen

There are over 90 different hair styles to choose from

At the end of the game you can be best friends and have a good time

... or you can kick.
