Well, that was a marathon, especially for an old guy like me. I’m frankly amazed how much can get done in 48 hours, particularly during those hours when there are no distractions.

You can play the game on the web (if you have Java) here:

The end game is fairly close to what I imagined, although it really could do with a lot of polish and balancing. Given that it’s a typing game, I don’t think it’s going to see a port to a phone any time soon, although it’d probably work on a larger tablet or an iPad.

\n

Finally, I would like to thank my wife and daughter for putting up with me, because I haven’t been able to give them much attention, other than the occasional, “please play-test my game!” Tomorrow (or is it today?) I have a day off, and if the weather permits, we’re all going to get out of the house and spend some quality family time together.
