and also posted news of a future release:

Right now things are flowing rather well.. For reference, release #3 - 18 games - should be ready for another Saturday launch.

But there's one thing I've not yet attempted.

At some point, in the worryingly close future, I'm going to have to start adding levels to some of the games.
That is, you can't have a maze game if you don't have a maze..
And a platform puzzler is only as good as it's puzzles.

What I'd really like to do is to implement some sort of pseudo-random level generation system, so that each game can still be random without having to deal with "only the X levels I bothered to make"
I'm not entirely sure how possible that's going to be, and it would depend on each game.

For now, I'm avoiding "Level" based stuff completely, and focusing on purely random gameplay.
But if I get stuck, I might take you up on your offer, and send a big giant garbled pile of C code, most of which would be entirely undecipherable

You know, something about this homebrew is very interesting.

Maybe the quaint graphics, or simple gameplay, but keep it up!
