New Site Design
Thursday, 16 May 2013
Welcome to the upgraded Killer Robots site! While on the surface it doesn't appear all that different, we can assure you that much has been changed. In fact, we're going to call this version 4.0 instead of v3.2. Let's go to the list:
What's New in v4.0:
- All new responsive design that automatically resizes to take advantage of smaller screen sizes.
- New Killer Robots logo.
- Completely changed font faces, size, and styling. No more squinting.
- New retina graphics for some images. The rest of the images will be upgraded over time.
- Updated javascript.
- New responsive light box for screenshots. Yay for iPhone users.
- Cleaned up and simplified CSS and HTML (valid HTML5 and CSS3 no less).
- A move towards using CSS effects instead of pregenerated graphics.
- New favicon.
- New iOS site icon.
- Other stuff, probably.
StarWarsScroll v1.2.1
Tuesday, 28 August 2012
Uploaded version 1.2.1 of StarWarsScroll to fix a small bug that would sometimes crash System Preferences if SWS was running in the preview window. It's believed that the bug only affected Mountain Lion, but everyone should probably update to be on the safe side.

Saturday, 5 July 2008

More Totally Sweet Sudoku page fixes
Thursday, 1 June 2006
Fixed the Totally Sweet Sudoku buy page to be secure in all browsers. Previously some browsers (like Firefox) weren't reporting that the page was secure when they should have been. The problem has been fixed. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked. At the same time, the site has been updated to fix a few display problems in some browsers. Internet Explorer still needs a little work, but the site should look great in all the other major browsers.
We're hard at work on a version 1.1 update for Totally Sweet Sudoku. The update will add several super cool features like difficulty levels, variable sized puzzles, improved graphics, and more ninjas with guitars. We also have some teaser pages in the works for upcoming games. So check back soon!
Buy page email fix
Wednesday, 17 May 2006
We received word that the buy page was rejecting free e-mail accounts (like yahoo.com and hotmail.com). The man responsible has just been sacked. The issue has (theoretically) been resolved, so if you were having problems, please try again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
