A couple new projects:

Dasher

https://camdentowngames.itch.io/dasher

Was teaching how to program in Scratch and decide to have a go at porting the Scratch Dasher game to the Amiga. Aim is to avoid the trees and other reindeer whilst collecting the presents. Game ends after level 4.

Sleigh Chase

https://geese-bumps.itch.io/sleigh-chase

Sleigh Chase is a Christmas minigame for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, designed to be fun and easy to enjoy with the family during the holidays. It is our way of wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2026.

It consists of three minigames:

    Gift Collection: The Grinch's evil henchmen have stolen the last 10 gifts Santa Claus has left to deliver. The green elves will throw them to us from the sides, and we must collect them while dodging trees and the red goblins, who will steal the gifts we have already collected.
    City Delivery: We fly over the city in our sleigh, looking for ten chimneys to toss gifts into (Button A on the controller). Don't throw them into lit fireplaces, and watch out again for the evil goblins who will try to intercept them.
    The Twelve Chimes: After saving Christmas, we will ring the twelve bells by throwing confetti at them to form the New Year's greeting message. Don't touch the bombs, or you will have to start over.

Gunslinger

https://camdentowngames.itch.io/gunslinger

When I was young I loved playing simple 1 screen arcade games like Asteroids, Centipede and one of the first games I remember playing was Boot Hill - a 2 player cowboy shoot out.  This is a very rough and ready take on that game made during the Xmas holiday 2025 for some simple family fun.

The controls are super simple , you can only move your cowboy up or down and the only other thing you can do is fire your pistol.

Each player has 6 shots , use them wisely as you don't get any refills.

If each player fires all their six bullets and fails to land a killer shot then the game ends in a draw.

Here's one that released last summer we seemed to have missed:

Mission: Cleanup

Take control of an autonomous cleanup robot on a hazardous mission to decontaminate the planet! In this retro-inspired action-puzzle game, navigate four distinct levels — The Wasteland, The Factory, The City, and The Village — each filled with toxic waste, malfunctioning machinery, and dangerous mutants. Use strategy and precision to clean radioactive spills, avoid threats, and restore order in a post-disaster world. Power up your systems, dodge enemies, and prove that even a small robot can make a big difference!

Changes in v1.2 are as follows:

- A more difficult 2-in a line mode (the mode is shown by the speech bubble in game)
- The controls have been made smoother and more responsive (following on from the comment from willbritton).
- The PSG has been initialized (following on from Kagesan’s comment).
