About Nick's Saturday Morning Games (NSMG)
This is my collection of small games, the kind which you might casually play when you wake up early on a Saturday morning.Games included so far:Grapestomper Rescue - A helicopter flying game where you rescue orphaned Grapestompers from rock-throwing, gun-toting worms. Grapestompers will stomp grapes to make wine at your base, which you can sell to buy upgrades.Transistor Glow - Electronics puzzle game where you use transistors to build logical solutions. Also includes a free-play mode with expanded grid for making custom electronic creations!More games to come...Further details:
Grapestomper Rescue
In Grapestomper Rescue, you fly a helicopter across a procedurally generated terrain, picking up orphaned Grapestompers and grapes to bring back to your base. There, the Stompers will happily stomp your grapes, making barrels of wine which you can sell to buy upgrades for your helicopter and base! Use these upgrades, like enhanced shields and fire rate to take on the worms, who will throw rocks and shoot at your helicopter to take it down. Save up enough for the Grapevine-O-Matic, which generates grapes while you relax and watch the Stompers at work!Grapestomper Rescue is at times action-packed, when you have low ammo and shields and are trying to rescue a Stomper from amidst several worms, and at times relaxed as you watch them stomp your grapes back at your base.The goal of Grapestomper Rescue is to save up enough money to purchase a spaceship, so that you can escape this nasty, worm-infested planet and take the poor Stompers to a new homeworld.Transistor Glow
Across 20 levels, learn to use a few simple principles to create complex logic! In creative mode, build bigger, more complex electronics in a 127x127 grid. Save your creations and share them with friends!Open Source
I program these games from scratch in the C programming language, using only OS platform libraries. The code for my game framework and games will soon be released as open-source under the GPL licence.Cover art by @TheManMadeofToys on Instagram

Simple but nice game2 found this helpful
Great games and super simple too learn, suprisingly difficult to beat though1 found this helpful
Honestly, I was surprised how easy it was to sink a few hours into this game. Don't be fooled by the low price, this is really great! Definitely worth your time. Also, a warning... I accidentally played this game on a Tuesday evening, and Nick broke both of my legs and beat me senseless with a metal chair. Please remember... these are for SATURDAY MORNING.......1 found this helpful
A surprisingly fresh take for a retro game with an interesting and addictive game loop. Knowing the game engine was programmed from scratch is also impressive, and it shows in how well it runs. I'm excited to see what games will be added in the future!1 found this helpful
Game worked great and although it is a reasonable simple game to play, it was harder than it looked. liked it more than i thought i would.1 found this helpful
The creator spent a lot of time developing the game from the ground up, including a versatile base engine. I look forward to seeing future games using the engine.1 found this helpful
