Site Facelift

Two weeks ago I decided that the site was starting to look a little dated and it was time for a facelift. Also motivating the call to action is the strong trend towards mobile device usage for web browsing.
So, over the last two weeks I have been busy overhauling the appearance of the site and also making it more "responsive", that is one that dynamically adapts the contents to fit the device screen size and orientation. This is more noticeable on tablets and smartphones.  At the same time,  I believe I have kept all the same navigation and functionality as was there previously. You can still go directly from any page to any other game page with one click.

One of the major challenges I have faced is that all the Flash based games (the majority) do not work on mobile devices and so I have been forced to have different pages for mobile devices and restrict them from accessing many games. But I am putting more work in making more games and functionality available on mobile, specifically tablets. I have just improved the HTML5 based Sudoku for tablets and smartphones and released it today.

New game - Triplets

Following on from the crazy success of games like Bejewelled and Candy Crush, I thought I would add my take on a "Match-3" style game. The result is Triplets which was released on the site a couple of days ago. It is a very "no-frills" version, with simple graphics and is written entirely in HTML5/JavaScript and so will run on tablets as well as PCs.

There are 25 pre-defined levels to complete and the highest scores for all levels are posted on the main page. There is also a daily challenge which is a quick one level with the objective of scoring as high as possible. Each day a new challenge with different parameters will be presented.
