The player fights against different types of monsters with a set of 5 dice. During each round the player has to decide what dice to keep and which ones to re-roll. There are 3 rounds before the final attack happens. During the 4th round (the attack round) the character with the highest set of dice wins the round and attacks the opponent.</p>
<p>Dudgeons &#038; Dice is underdevelopment and coming soon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1960 the US government created a simulator for training pilots how to handle an orbital invasion of the moon in the event that the Russians took over. The game was classified and never released to the public. This game was ported directly from that source code and is being released to the public.</p>
<p>In lunar Invasion you are a space craft pilot responsible for handling the invasion of Russian occupied moon. The Russians have set up bases on the surface of the moon and it is you job to transport soldiers and bomb the surface in order to remove the Russian occupation. </p>
<p>You will pilot a nimble drop ship and  need to pick up supplies, ammunition and solders from US supply ships orbiting the moon. Once your ship is equipped you will need to return to the surface unordered complete the objective: Liberate The Moon.</p>
<p>The Russians will not be easy to defeat. You will find that they have dug themselves deep into the lunar surface. While delivering troops to the surface you will need to avoid anti air missiles as well as crashing into the ground. </p>
<p>Lunar Invasion is under development and will be released sometime in 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:left;margin:6px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://gamecook.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/matchhack_000_Title.jpg" alt="" title="MatchHackFeature" width="206" height="105" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70" />
<p>MatchHack is based on the classic memory match game and uses RPG elements for a twist. The player’s goal is to explore the dungeon by clicking on tiles. Find matching tiles to beat the monster guarding the exit. Each match counts has a hit, each failed match counts as an attack from the monster. The game is over when the player is defeated.</p>
<p><strong>*Work In Progress*</strong></p>
<p>WARNING: This game is still in development. I am working very hard to add new features and polish up the gameplay. Expect more updates in the future.</p>
<p>Download it from <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=air.com.gamecook.MatchHack">Android Market</a> or the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ndbdofmmkjnofaldfljkcaoafhnnoclo?hl=en-US">Chrome Web Store</a> and the <a target="blank" href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Match-Hack/Game-Cook-Inc/e/2940043862501?itm=1&#038;usri=matchhack">Nook Color Market</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:left;margin:6px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://gamecook.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/tc_logo.png" alt="" title="CigarSmugglerGCFeature" width="206" height="105" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70" />
<p>Tile Crusader is a crowd-sourced, roguelike game that gives players the ability to pick up and play a randomly generated map in just a couple of minutes. What makes it unique is that the player can also create their own custom levels by tweaking monster values, map settings, and even supplying their own tile graphics. Tile Crusader is being developed on the Adobe Flash platform and will be deployed to any device capable of running Flash, such as the desktop, web browsers, Android, iOS, and AIR for TV.</p>
<p><b>Gameplay</b></p>
<p>Tile Crusader is a simple turn-based dungeon crawler. Each game revolves around completing a specific goal, such as kill all monsters, kill a boss, find an artifact, or simply escape. Tile Crusader is highly streamlined with simplified gameplay to offer the fastest experience possible. Monsters don’t move in the game, so the player can choose when to engage in combat. Also, since the maps are randomly generated, there is a lot of replay value. Finally, there are no animations or actions that can get in the way of exploring the map as quickly as possible. Even things like potions are automatically used when the player runs out of life so they can focus on the game itself.</p>
<p><b>Combat</b></p>
<p>Tile Crusader is based on a Dungeons &#038; Dragons dice combat system. Combatants have a number of attack and defense dice they can roll that each have three skulls, two shields, and one monster shield on them. When in combat, rolling a skull means the attack was successful. While defending, the player will block a single attack by rolling a shield. Monsters must roll a monster shield in order to successfully block an attack. After all dice are rolled, the attacker’s successful points are matched up against the defender’s with the difference being subtracted from the defender’s life. All of this is hidden from the player who will see a simplified status message at the top of the screen with the attack’s outcome.</p>
<p>The player can leave combat at any time by walking away. Some monsters, such as bosses, will regenerate their health once you leave combat and as they go off screen.</p>
<p><b>Winning the Game</b></p>
<p>There is no true way to win the game outside of staying alive. When the character dies, the player’s game is over. Other than that, the goal is to stay alive for as long as you can across as many random maps as possible.</p>
<p><i>More info to come and I hope to have a playable Alpha released very soon!</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:left;margin:6px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://gamecook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/CigarSmugglerGCFeature.png" alt="" title="CigarSmugglerGCFeature" width="206" height="105" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70" />

<li>Five exotic South Florida locations.</li>
<li>Buy and sell over 60 cigars.</li>
<li>4 game types.</li>
<li>Local Hi-Score for each difficulty level.</li>
<li>Auto save allows you to pick up and smuggle.</li>

</p>
<ol><del></p>
<li>
  Bribing the cops will run the risk of losing a day, all your cigars and money.
  </li>
<li>
  Run from cops is a 50/50 chance you will get away from the cops. If you don&rsquo;t escape you will get the penalty of the event so if you were going to loose all your money and couldn&#39;t run away, that is what will happen.
  </li>
<li>
  Finally if the cops just bust you, there will be no option to run or bribe, you just get the event as is.
  </li>

</p>
<p><del><b>Cigar Sale Notification v1.2.0 RC</b></del></p>
<p>
<del>On days where a particular cigar&rsquo;s price bottoms out you will get a pop up informing you of the event. This will be built into the main random event system so it is all tied together.</del>
