				<title>Let players see the puzzle before loading the game</title>

				<description>&lt;p&gt;A returning player knows what is behind a loading screen. A new visitor may have only a name and a link. Asking both to wait in the same way misses that difference.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&#34;https://tetcolor.net/&#34;&gt;Tetcolor website&lt;/a&gt; now shows a small demonstration before loading the full game. It introduces the important sequence: a piece falls, matching blocks are highlighted, and a cascade follows. The visitor can see what kind of puzzle this is before choosing Let&amp;rsquo;s Play.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>What changes when a falling-block game clears colors as well as rows?</title>
				<link>https://flames.cool/news/2026/10/tetcolor-rows-colors-cascades/</link>

				<description>&lt;p&gt;Look at a nearly full row in a falling-block game. There is one gap, and the next piece fits. Usually, that is an easy decision.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now give every block in the piece its own color. The piece still fills the gap, but turning it another way might put three red blocks in a diagonal. Those red blocks could disappear and let a blue block fall into its own match. The same space has become part of two different plans.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<description>&lt;p&gt;Robot Wants Fishy, the third game in Mike Hommel&amp;rsquo;s four-part Robot Wants series, is now playable in modern browsers as an independent web remaster. This adventure sends Robot into a larger interconnected world of dry caverns, underwater passages, teleporters, dangerous machines, and strange creatures.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Use bombs to open the first routes, find Rustproofing to survive underwater, master the Autoharpoon, and collect the upgrades needed to reach Fishy. The remaster supports keyboard and touch controls, fullscreen play, local saves, and a global online leaderboard for completed runs. Visit the fully credited &lt;a href=&#34;https://flames.cool/games/robot-wants-fishy/&#34;&gt;Robot Wants Fishy game page&lt;/a&gt; for screenshots, project details, and the Play link.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Relay comes to MOBL</title>
				<link>https://flames.cool/news/2026/09/relay-comes-to-mobl/</link>

				<guid>https://flames.cool/news/2026/09/relay-comes-to-mobl/</guid>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;MOBL now has two ways to play: Classic and Relay. The new Relay mode adds a different challenge to the game: one color prepares the ground, and another completes the capture.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A cell cooled by blue balls needs a green ball to capture it. Green cells need red, and red cells need blue. Progress comes from coordinating the populations, preparing territory, and switching laws when the field is ready for the next step.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<guid>https://flames.cool/news/2026/09/robot-wants-online-leaderboards/</guid>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Robot Wants Kitty now has a global online leaderboard. After rescuing Kitty, players can enter a name, complete a quick verification, and submit every finished run. Each completion becomes its own entry, so returning players can keep improving their time and competing for a higher position.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The leaderboard records completion time and deaths, with filters for all runs, zero-death runs, and runs with fewer than ten deaths. Runs are ranked by time, and fewer deaths break a tie between equal times.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
