Hello fellow Scratchers!

What kind of game comes to mind when I say, every move matters?

Well that was this month's Game Jam theme in the Griffpatch Academy,

and you guys didn't disappoint with your submissions.

Now we're going to have a lot of fun exploring what you created,

and deciding on the winners.

And we'll begin with the Arcade Games.

This category was as popular as ever, loads of entries.

I've left a comment under each and every submitted project,

but before I reveal the finalists.

I want to give a special mention to Spew for creating a cool level selection world map,

Tanqr for clever use of scene hitboxes,

and the Gamerboy for their well balanced level progression,

and Kingpuff for their excellent art style and super fun difficult gameplay.

Love that.

Ok guys, let's see our finalists,

beginning with 3 returning champions.

Airtype by AdrianSood22.

Type the letter to fly,

if you fall off the screen you die.

A very well presented game that goes a long way to helping you improve your keyboard knowledge.

So I would have filed this under casual games if it wasn't so infuriatingly fast paced.

Wow, you really have to be good at finding those keys.

I love the minimalist art and smooth UI.

And those little wiggling legs.

Excellent, it's the little details right?

Next up, Pyromaniac by Not A School Account.

You leave a trail of fire behind you.

Don't run into it.

These handcrafted sprite costumes are simply amazing,

so colourful, adorable and delightfully animated.

Each enemy has two stages of development.

For example, the wood catches fire and the corn pops.

It's so clever.

I can't help but admire how tastefully that fire trail looks,

and then gracefully peters out.

Beautiful camera shake too.

Graphics aside, the gameplay is tricky,

as it's quite zoomed in,

but super fun and easy to pick up and play.

Zone Alone by Catweasel1972 This intro,

oh man it made me laugh.

Look at that little guy fixing the ship.

Sadly, he gets left behind and now it is your job to get them safely home.

Without suffocating, burning up in a star or floating off into space.

I very much enjoyed the use of gravity mats to slingshot the player around the screen,

but man it's really not at all easy with all the gravity fields being so close together a lot of the time.

All the same, a great effort,

and a game to be mastered.

So, out of these three previous jam winners,

which one will we crown Returning Champion?

Yes, it has to be.. not a school account with their awesome game Pyro Maniac.

Great job, you really are a master at creating amazing game costumes.

Okay, but still in the arcade games,

our previous winners have demonstrated their skill,

but what about our rising challenges?

Anthronis by NinjaAce8371.

You need to kill reds while dodging them.

A bit of strategy is needed to play this game,

as the enemy AI is rather good.

We can move two grid squares in any direction,

at least in the current game mode,

but so can the AI,

and whoever lands on top of the other wins.

Sounds simple, but you also have to factor in the next enemy ship

that will come into play as soon as the previous one is defeated.

I really love these clever game ideas you guys come up with, so inspirational.

Crazy Fighters by Clumsy Hamster.

In this atmospheric shooter, the green slimes are out to get us.

Luckily we have a very large magic blast that cuts through them with ease,

if only it didn't take so long to recharge.

So we do a lot of running away.

I mean stealthy dodging.

I really enjoyed the gurgling sounds emitted by the slimes, it's so cool.

What I would like to see is an indicator of the magic spell recharge.

And maybe a gradual increase in difficulty.

Every move can be your last by Elvin 2015.

Killer bats, and what is that?

A giant rotating light vomiting toad?

But whatever it is, it spells bad news if it catches you in its gaze.

So we dash behind a bush to hide our bright red t-shirt.

Now that is cool.

But those pesky bats, they won't leave us alone, so we dance on.

I love this simple game idea,

well executed and tricky to master.

Well well, the competition is fierce.

I really love the toad and bats,

but Ninja Ace, 8371, picks up the win,

with Ansonis really capturing the theme.

Every move matters, with their turn based battle against a cleverly coded AI.

Now we move on to casual games.

Which means we can let down our guard, at least touch.

Again many submissions featuring some really outstanding efforts.

A few highlights were Violet 2's colourful cat trail effects,

and Tennis Pro 123's delightful functioning piano,

and Wes Chow Wonsum 7's polished wall jumper.

But now, the top 4.

Floppy Birdie by Dimmy Polly.

On easy mode, it's a flap in the park.

100

On hard, well, things start to get serious,

101

and yet it stays enjoyable without that throw your device out of the window feeling,

102

which is a nice change for a Flabby Burb clone.

103

Circumference by HGO.

104

Every move really does matter when you're trying to trace a perfect circle,

105

not the easiest with a computer mouse,

106

but I really appreciate the coding skills and math involved in detecting and drawing our circulatory efforts.

107

You can see it changing hue as you move away from the current radius, I guess.

108

And those celebratory fireworks are the icing on the cake.

109

Motion Movie by Builderbooks is a rhythm based game taking cues from Friday Night Funking.

110

It's got a nice track selection page and then you're off.

111

The graphics are simple.

112

But what matters here is the game is solid and… fun.

113

Having the incoming notes drawn as arrows really helps get players engaged quickly,

114

as we tend to already have muscle memory for where they sit under our fingers.

115

Good job and bang on theme.

116

Finally, Where is the Mummy by scratch user 133.

117

Where's the mummy?

118

Love it.

119

But how does it fit the every move matters?

120

Well, you have to watch very carefully because one of these sarcophaguses will twitch.

121

Is something inside?

122

Yes, it's your mummy.

123

Excellent idea and excellent game.

124

What a clever idea.

125

Right, time to pick a winner.

126

None of these have won a game jam before,

127

so it's all up for grabs.

128

And the winner is… HGO with Circumference.

129

Congratulations to you for great pen work and keen coding skills.

130

I love this kind of project.

131

It's the kind of thing everyone should take a stab at coding at some point in their coding journey.

132

Now, often with less coding,

133

but bursting with creativity, best animation is next.

134

Box by Handstand Ninja.

135

Why do some products take so much effort to open them?

136

Oh come on, it's time to get the big guns out.

137

Mwahahahaha.

138

Well maybe this is a little overkill?

139

I really love the sense of humour,

140

and that you put in the effort to voice act it too.

141

Great job, that really lifts the whole presentation.

142

Drap That Clock, Part 2, by Justavut Burr.

143

We continue from where we left off in the previous jam,

144

and this might not be the most detailed looking animation,

145

but hold on, do we have any chess fans here?

146

Yes, we get to watch a full game of chess unfold.

147

How cool is that?

148

And the end is really entertaining.

149

Max vs Bob by the leader of the map.

150

Well, it never rains, but it pours.

151

Another game of chess, but this time we get to see the action from different angles.

152

Wow, I love the detail.

153

Each piece is placed perfectly from the top,

154

and from the side view.

155

How clever.

156

I really appreciate that.

157

But unlike the previous game of chess,

158

this one is over in no time at all.

159

Wow, is this the fastest checkmate in history?

160

The Forgotten Scientist by Balik Vassanet.

161

This project puts our awesome text dialogue box tutorial to excellent use,

162

to tell a long and twisted detective story.

163

I was impressed with the writing,

164

and how the tale unfolded.

165

Witty and surprisingly long.

166

I had my suspicion who was the culprit,

167

but it kept me guessing right till the end.

168

And finally, Unbeatable Every Move Matters,

169

Episode 4 by Binky Beaver.

170

Now this guy, he's topped the animation category for the last three jams,

171

and with good reason, the animations are top notch.

172

This unbeatable beatroot has only gotten stronger after their encounter with the microwave,

173

and now every move matters as our protagonist tries to make their escape.

174

I really love how Binky Beaver likes to experiment with the different camera angles, so cool.

175

Yes 5 fabulous animations, all of them worth watching if you have a moment to spare,

176

but now we need to pick the winners.

177

Yes we're going to have 2,

178

we have a returning champion and that has to go to… yes Binky Beaver,

179

it seems this man is simply unbeatable,

180

sorry about that, but we also can award a rising challenger and that is…

181

The leader of the map with Max vs Bob.

182

I was super impressed with their eye for detail with the multi-angled chess game board in particular.

183

OK, time for something completely different.

184

Best platformer.

185

ArcPo Hard Mode by GabTheGamer 2024.

186

They really embraced the theme.

187

Every move matters, right from the off.

188

This game is packed with really difficult moves,

189

hence the name I guess.

190

So if you fancy a challenge,

191

then here it is guys,

192

at least for the first 4 scenes.

193

After that it's a bit of a walk in the park.

194

Echoes of You Final by TechTornado9.

195

This is a very enjoyable blend of graphical styles,

196

and great use of this scrolling Mario tutorial.

197

But you didn't stop there,

198

you added some excellent concepts of your very own.

199

The clever rewind action is magic,

200

and we need to use it to complete each level,

201

so we can literally be in two places at once.

202

An excellent mechanic, and I was left wishing we could see more of that throughout the game.

203

Supernatural Events by Winter Melon Boss.

204

We've seen this game many times,

205

in many jams, and it continues to boast an amazing arsenal of wonderful element bending graphical effects.

206

But oh my gosh, can they even get me through scene 2?

207

I seriously tried everything I could think of,

208

and I got close, but I can't take it anymore!

209

Rage quit!

210

I'm sure it was just me.

211

I need simple instructions to guide me through.

212

Cave Dive by Hyperherobrine This was the most awesome game menu,

213

an arcade machine in which we play our game.

214

It's so cool!

215

Now we collect coins, and travel from left to right, screen to screen.

216

Also, if you remember to read the instructions,

217

we can use the space key to dash, smash through blocks.

218

That really does help getting us from one side of the screen to the other.

219

I really do love those particle effects and the retro sounds.

220

Now, how do I pronounce this?

221

Zinnik the Alien?

222

By one bazillion and one.

223

It begins with an exciting story about how you're an alien whose ship crash landed on Earth,

224

and you must escape the humans,

225

and then transitions into this excellent strategic scrolling platformer.

226

We have limited bombs, and must use them wisely to blow up sections of the wall.

227

If we choose poorly then we'll be softlocked and have to restart the level.

228

This was surprisingly fun, especially as we begin advancing through the levels,

229

with new bomb and wall types being introduced.

230

So ok, ok, we have our finalists,

231

5 platformers to choose from,

232

but who is today's winner?

233

This was a close call,

234

but after much deliberation, it is… 1 bazillion and 1 with their game Xenic.

235

The game really smashed the theme, every move matters.

236

Every bomb placement having consequences and leading to success or failure.

237

Excellent work and congratulations to you.

238

Which brings us to the last game genre of the jam,

239

the final tussle for best puzzle game.

240

And the competition has been fierce.

241

I'd like to call out a special mention to Emmet MMS for taking on a challenging project,

242

seeking help in the academy and sticking with it,

243

and Luminara with her delightful hand-drawn backgrounds.

244

Wow.

245

But now let's see the shortlist projects starting with our rising challenges.

246

Chess by MikeyJ1012 Of the many chess games submitted for this jam,

247

this one was one of the best.

248

With its clean board and pieces,

249

this project goes on to begin to validate the correct moves each piece can make.

250

That's so clever.

251

What happens next is a little unconventional,

252

but I think this is perhaps a work in progress,

253

and I hope to see more soon.

254

The Noble Path by CoolGuy1086 Beginning with an engaging story,

255

you are then plunged into a puzzle of single use platforms,

256

lasers and triggering doorways.

257

You just need to find the correct path.

258

It's very engaging and well worth a play.

259

The last level has a clone of yourself to move as well,

260

and that was especially fun to figure out.

261

Cats vs Dogs by Trollmaster123 You play as the cat,

262

so be careful of the dog.

263

It's a chase around the tiled grid to find your way home.

264

Only your home is randomly zipping around the board too,

265

which makes it very tough.

266

Did I mention the board is randomly changing too?

267

And then you'll find things get complicated,

268

with all sorts of strange tiles that affect your movement and the flow of the game.

269

It's wild!

270

So, some awesome ideas and a showcase of great coding,

271

but who will be our new rising challenger today?

272

The award goes to CoolGuy186 with The Noble Path,

273

for a well designed puzzle game that was simple and fun to pick up,

274

had nice clear levels, a well defined goal, and good level progression.

275

Congratulations!

276

But that is not the end of it,

277

no, we still have our puzzle offerings from the previous winnings,

278

vying for returning champions.

279

Let's see them now.

280

Mimic Neon by Benrex13.

281

This is one of those Simon Says type games,

282

but instead of colours we must memorise the order of the directional chevrons,

283

emitting from the central cube.

284

I really appreciate the layout as it maps directly onto the arrow keys used to control the game,

285

and again that helps with our muscle memory.

286

The visuals are fun, and I like the shimmering star backgrounds and smooth animations.

287

A little more audible feedback might be a nice touch,

288

otherwise an excellent game to stretch your brain.

289

Cereal Shuffle, the MM demo by GamerWolf Studios.

290

Wowzers, how do you do it?

291

have such a flair for creating addicting polished games.

292

Once you get over the awesome interface and into the game,

293

it's a simple matching game.

294

Swap tiles to try to make runs of 3 or more of the same type.

295

The more you can clear at once, the bigger the bonus.

296

I love the thought you put into the user interface.

297

The integrated help walks you through the game without interfering,

298

and there's even a savecode that pops up when you stop the game.

299

Amazing.

300

That leaves us with… War Tactics by Wurta4.

301

And this one has got me beat.

302

It's not your normal game of tic-tac-toe.

303

Wurta has reimagined the game over a 9x9 board,

304

with some really devious rules that require some real tactical thought,

305

and I today, at least, appear to be lacking.

306

Because the exceptional AI in this game was able to outplay me on every match,

307

and I played quite a few,

308

and no, this was not even on hard mode.

309

Visually, the game is good,

310

with clever fog of war around the game areas that you have not yet got access to.

311

And you really have to plan ahead,

312

and watch out for what the AI is doing too,

313

as otherwise your game will end very quickly,

314

and not in your favour.

315

Wow, I simply cannot say enough about the quality of these puzzles.

316

You just have to play them, really you should.

317

But I have to pick a winner,

318

and it's very tough, But the theme is every move matters,

319

and that sways it for me,

320

the winner has to be...

321

Weta4 with War Tactics.

322

It may not have the same crazy exceptional polish shown by Game Wolf Studios,

323

but it's a close second there,

324

and it has such strong AI coding that it is a match for any level.

325

I'd love to spend more time learning the tactics of this game.

326

So congratulations to you.

327

And a huge thank you to everyone who took part,

328

returning champions, rising challengers, and anyone jumping into the game jam for the very first time.

329

These jams are such a great way to put into practice what we've learned in the Griffpatch Academy,

330

and push ourselves to become better coders and game creators.

331

Indeed, if you love building games like these and want to take your skills even further,

332

you can join me inside the Griffpatch Academy,

333

my online learning community where I teach you step by step how to make full games,

334

level up your scratch skills,

335

and learn alongside hundreds of other young creators just like yourselves.

336

There's a link below if you want to find out more.

337

And together we can learn to build your favourite games.

338

Have you heard of the game Hollow Knight?

339

This summer we are starting work on a metrovania scroller.

340

So excited about that.

341

So this is the perfect time to jump on board.

342

But that is it for me today,

343

so until next time, Have a great week ahead and Scratch on guys!

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.

ShadowingEnglish.com – Luyện Nói Tiếng Anh Bằng Shadowing

Nói tiếng Anh lưu loát với phương pháp Shadowing — nghe người bản xứ, đọc theo từng câu, rèn phản xạ ngôn ngữ thật sự. Được hàng ngàn người học IELTS tin dùng.
