UFHO

Is there a better way to start one's blog rather than talking about his first real game in the role of designer?

UFHO has been launched three months ago on http://www.ufho.it. It's a puzzle game online, where you can (and ultimately must) play with a friend in a game that is so tactic that it reminds of chess. The concept is simple: move through a maze of hexagon shaped rooms and head for the gem that randomly appears from time to time.
The game is turn-based, so you have to think of the possible moves the opponent is going to make, and plus there's a timer of 20 seconds to execute yours.

Now for the summer UFHO experienced a bit of a stop, but I hope he won't quite die. We plan to do an iPhone version soon, although that version is not mine in programming. I will check that the design stays intact even on the small screen.

Meanwhile I invite you all to try the Flash game, you can find me as ness in the lobby from time to time. You can login in the game as guest - guest, or you can sign up freely to retain your gaming stats after each match.
I advice however to login with a friend to play together, since users come and go...
