Game into alpha

This is a spin-off of another project I was working on, which ran into a (temporary) deadend - the hoster doesn't have the right modules installed. While we wait on the ticket to get that fixed, I put this together.

http://www.sea-shore.co.uk

It's a fairly basic collection game, with a few easter eggs. Collect items on the beach, clean 'em up, don't break 'em and build your collection. You clean items by displaying them on forums etc. Get too many hits in two short a time, or two many hits altogether, and the items break. This version is backed by flat files while we get a database optimised for the beta version - since I built it as an experiment in file handling, the only thing I need to see now is how it runs with more players.

Feel free to give it a go.

The other thing you might notice is the ad at the bottom - it's not (currently) a pay ad, just me testing out a new widget for the Smashwords Tools which are now at http://www.smashingreads.com. Click through for a minisite.
