And is Bejeweled the ONLY game you've tried out at the site that feeds you? ;) Here are a few suggestions... - Crescendo Catcher - Blast Passage - Pyramid @Ozdy: "I just don’t see myself developing NES clones again". 'Dude', I guess unexpected things happens sometimes. ;) Time for Zwibbs?

And is Bejeweled the ONLY game you’ve tried out at the site that feeds you? ;) Here are a few suggestions…
- Crescendo Catcher
- Blast Passage
- Pyramid

@Ozdy: “I just don’t see myself developing NES clones again”. ‘Dude’, I guess unexpected things happens sometimes. ;)

Dolphin Olympics is definitely an amazing example of a flash game, casual from the start, very in depth for those who try to figure it out. It's basically a game hidden within a game, and it's got everything both gamer types need. Haha, I too have played bejweled on King.com, in fact, that’s the ONLY game I’ve played on the site.

Both didn't impress the sponsors too much. However, my third game (about to be released soon) Hungry Shapes - a box2d puzzle game, got a lot of attention among sponsors. Sadly, development of my first two games took significantly more each than the box2d puzzle even if it gave me more pleasure developing them. I since I got more money for my last game, I just don't see myself developing NES clones again :( One think that you could have mentioned in your articles is the fact that more than 50% (some say as high as 80%) of the casual gamers are girls. This can explain a lot when mentioning the differences in players needs/abilities ;) The best casual games have to have that initial hook, but also a great depth after it. My favourite example is Dolphin Olympics - just great. And of course the best casual game ever - Bejeweled. I am actually a little bit ashamed but I wasted some hours trying to get a good score at king.com :">. Ozdy Another nice one Porter,
