A year a go I had a run-in with a table which shattered the digitiser of my phone. Being a master of postponing and never getting stuff done, I have pulled myself together and installed a new digitiser. It took an hour because I was not able to get the old digitiser out of the …

Above is a short video of a game I have been working on called ‘Cake Adventure’, the objective is to collect several items in order to bake a cake for your friend. As you can see, the game is far from being finished, I still have to put all the items in-game, write a system …
After a year long vacation I have released a new Flash game: SokobWorld!
I am currently working on a new Flash game, a Sokoban clone.
