Blue Vs Green: Buzz It Is on Google Play

Published: 2026-11-14

This week I released Blue Vs Green: Buzz It, a two-player reflex game you can play with someone on a single Android phone. I also opened My Movie Stack, a virtual video shop where you can collect a director's films and keep track of what you've watched. Meanwhile, Big Whale Hunting got a new revenue visualisation and a video covering 18 years of the S&P 500, and there were updates to Galazon, Diende and Your News Headlines.

Blue Vs Green: Buzz It is out

Blue Vs Green: Buzz It is about one question: who has the fastest reflexes? Two players share one Android phone, Blue on one side and Green on the other, each with a giant buzzer. A countdown runs, and when it hits zero a bolt of lightning cracks down the middle of the screen. The first to hit their buzzer wins the round. Tap too early and you lose it.

I've had a lot of fun playing this with my kids. It's simple enough that anyone can pick it up, but there's something very satisfying about beating someone to the buzzer, especially when they were convinced they were faster.

Most of the week went into making a match feel right before release. The buzzers stay dim during the countdown and only light up at zero, when tapping counts. Both players press READY before each round starts. Matches are a best of 5, and when one ends you can both agree to go again for best of 7, then best of 9. When you finally quit, the winner gets a trophy, confetti and a little stick figure dancing in their colour. It's out now on Google Play.

My Movie Stack: collect a director's films

My Movie Stack is a new site for people who like to watch their way through a director's whole filmography. It's laid out like an old video shop: the aisles page has over 100 directors, plus a few partnerships like the Coen Brothers and series like James Bond, shown as video boxes facing out on wooden shelves. Pick one and it becomes a collection, with every film in a To Watch pile that you move over to Watched as you go, until you earn a COMPLETE sticker. Danny Boyle and Paul Verhoeven joined the aisles this week.

Anyone can now sign up. You can give yourself a display name and a profile picture, put your collections in whatever order you like, and share your stacks with a public link. Each aisle page now ends with everyone who's collecting it and how far they've got. Clicking a film shows its synopsis, runtime and genres, and every film has its own page with the cast and the other aisles it belongs to. There's also a search box on the aisles page that finds both directors and films.

Big Whale Hunting: revenue, and a new video

Big Whale Hunting has a new revenue page. It's the same sector bubbles as the market cap page, but each company is sized by how much money it brings in rather than what it's worth. It also has its own timeline that plays through every fiscal year from 2009 to 2025, using figures taken from companies' SEC filings. With only 17 years to show it plays slowly by default, with Normal and Fast speeds if you're impatient. Some logos, like Dell's blue on the tech sector's blue, used to almost disappear on their bubble, so they now get a small white plate behind them.

I also refreshed the market cap figures for all 500 companies, mainly because Nvidia has had an eventful month and the old numbers no longer reflected it.

There's also a new video of the market cap timeline, which shows Big Tech swallowing the S&P 500 over 18 years in 54 seconds:

Galazon: Warehouse 4 and a new comm panel

The mobile version of Galazon has a fourth warehouse. It's a small 5 by 7 floor with two bays on the left and, for the first time, two bays docked below the floor, and all four start with generous 60-second timers before the pressure builds. You unlock it by reaching Ƶ2,000 in a Warehouse 3 run. The new version is out on Google Play. The boss also no longer floats over the board in a speech bubble. Messages now come through a black comm panel along the bottom of the screen, like the one on PC, which turns red or yellow when things go wrong.

Diende and Your News Headlines: small fixes

In the Android app for Diende, long list items are cut off after three lines, so you can now tap one to read it in full and tap again to fold it back. That update is out on Google Play now. On the Your News Headlines website, I fixed an old bug that made stories show up twice on the desktop homepage about a minute after it loaded.

That's it for this week. Thanks for reading.
