Another New Puppy Nonogram (by Me)


Ever since I saw the cover to that Chihuahua-Opoly game, I thought the main dog would look good as a nonogram puzzle.  It turns out that it would take much higher resolution to capture the kind of detail needed for this, but I was able to build this similar image in 20x22 size.  



It came out chunky, but still had enough character to hit Save and add it to my collection.  I called it "Chi pup".  You can solve this puzzle at Nonograms Katana.


And here is Anne looking at the actual playthrough of the puzzle.

It's not as cute as the one I did of Dory, but it's fun creating new things when I get the chance.  Yes, that's Dory passed out by her feet, dressed up as a pumpkin for Halloween week. ;-)

Escape from the Aquarium

Image
We found Escape from the Aquarium on the way home from our Sedona trip.   It looked cute and we didn't notice at the time that it was an escape room game for kids.   Or main issue with escape room games is that the pieces get marked up or ruined during the course of the game,  so it's hard to play them a second time.   And knowing the outcome spoils the replayability.  Escape room games are not really games, they are sets of puzzles. The art is bright and friendly.  The story is a bit silly: you get turned into a fish while visiting the aquarium and have to swim around looking for clues to get magical ingredients to get back to human form.   Okay. There is an answer book and hint book, both of them with scratch off spaces, so there's the main component that can't be restored to its unplayed state.  There are four folders full of clues but you have to dump all four folders together, since the stuff you need to solve puzzles in o...

Idle Planet Miner: Selling Your Galaxy

Image
Back in Idle Planet Miner, production was starting to bog down, with crafts taking an hour apiece, and sometimes needing hundreds of items to unlock new research.  So, I figured it would be a good time to test out their "Sell Your Planet" feature, which has so many people online asking questions. These idle games can't level up through an infinite many items, so they all have this same kind of game reset mechanism.  In Idle Planet Miner, the Sell Galaxy button shows you the value of your galaxy and how many credits you will get for it.  These credits are a kind of meta currency, letting you buy new rooms for your ships, with each new room offering a different game boost.  Clicking the Sell button will show you exactly what you will lose: all planets, cash, ores, alloys, items, research.  Which sounds terrible.  But you get to keep your dark matter, your managers, your beacon buffs (though you will have to research the Beacon again to get it back on screen),...

WarZone Idle

Image
Playing with WarZone a bit this week, I discovered that there is an "Idle" campaign at the bottom of the main page.  Either that's new, or I just didn't see a year ago when I first wrote about this great app. The Idle campaign is set up in a very interesting way.  The maps appear to be the same sequence as in the main game: you start with the standard Risk world map.  But now, you have a certain amount of money and armies shown at the top right as W and A values.  You gain some amount of each per second, and each space has an army value shown on it.  So maybe Brazil starts at 96.  Click it when you have 96 armies and it's your without a fight. Some spaces have "resources", which include Army Bases (where you can buy armies for W's), Caches (some amount of Ws and As), Mines, Forges and Crafters.  Some of these can be upgraded by spending Ws to get more per second.  You can forge ores into ingots like so many other games and sell all the resources f...
