This is a recreation of the 2001 shockwave game found on nick arcade. I wanted to let others play it without having to download flashpoint archive for just one game.

There's a mismatch in submit pricing: FAQ says $20 while the submit page says $10

I like the premise but don't like the pricing. Google search ads would be a much better investment. Add something that makes it unique like reviews of the software as well, not just a bio and two product links.

I remade an old popcap puzzle game from assets alone using SDL and SDL_mixer. The levels were the hardest part to understand as they weren't stored as plaintext, I used ghidra and x32dbg to finally decipher them. New features include key remapping and controller support.

I was banking on Windows 11 being a skip version but Windows 12 will probably be just as bad. Windows 10 forever then!
