What seemed like a simple addition to a game has evolved into a new game all of its own.

When I was making Super Sneaky Spy Guy DejaVu I decided to make a contest out of it. I wasn't sure however how to make it more difficult in order to actually make it contest worthy. I decided to hid a bunch of crystals in the game and to add a timer. The fastest you completed the game and the more crystals you found the higher your score would be. It was a pretty simple idea and it did make the game a little better I believe. The recent games that I have been making have been taking a whole lot more time to complete than it used to. When I first started churning out games I could make one in less than a week, now it takes at least a month to completely make a game with testing included. I thought that it would be fun to throw a few other games in the mix, ones that wouldn't take me quite as long to make. Super Sneaky Spy Guy Crystal Hunter was born. I wasn't sure if people would care for the game much at first but it was worth a shot and from the amount of plays the first game got I would have to say that it went over very well indeed. In less than 3 months the first game has had over 227,706 plays. That isn't anything to be ashamed of but then again it isn't anywhere near the plays games like Abandoned and SSSG - Goes to space have gotten. SSSG - Goes to space has had over 1.1 million plays in less than a year and Abandoned has had 927,876 only being out there for 6 months. Those game have done very well and I am very pleased with everyone who has played them, thank you. The amount of people that play the crystal hunting games is far to great to stop making them. I have had a lot of people compliment me and not very many people complain. Any ideas on any other type of game you would like to see, please feel free to let me know.
