New game: Game About Squares

ub880d

Hi!

http://sindik.at/~ub880d/download/Squares.tap

The goal is to move each square to a target spot of its color.

game is controlled by:

1,2,3,4: move square in its direction (see legend for square colors)
U: undo move (last 4 moves)
R: restart level

L: level selector
C: go to level by code
M: music off/on
I: info page (credits)

in level selector move cursor by keys 5,6,7,8, select different level by ENTER, return from level selector to game by SPACE

[original game: http://gameaboutsquares.com]

Happy Squaring! ;]

This is a brilliant idea!

I didn't know about this game.

That's a very nice rendition, even the texts between the levels have been included; well done.

slenkar

stuck on lvl 8 at the moment

Sokurah

Nice. I've played to level 11 and saved it so I can give continue later.
How many levels are there?

ub880d

well.. there are 36 levels.. you can enter level selector by pressing L ;]

Ah, that's a very clever idea for a game indeed. Thanks a lot for bringing it to the Speccy!

:D

Ralf

Great, something fresh!

I don't remember seeing this exact idea before.

MatGubbins

This is great! Level 19 so far

Hadn't heard about this game but it's a very nice implementation, and cool music. I tend to give up on puzzlers quite quickly, but I played this one for a while last night before eventually getting stuck on level 33.

Then I had a sudden revelation in the shower this morning about how to do it, so I'm going to try to have another go this evening... :-D

(Just hope I made a note of the code!)

Haven't played yet but had a quick go on the online version, very much looking forward to your remake!

Superb! Thanks.

Reached level 13 but I'd err better get back to work.

Correct me if I'm incorrect but this game is about squares isn't it?

I did not found possibility to see level code for current level. Could you please implement it somewhere? For example vertically under "Level X" on the right. As really, I play, did not write all that things, need to go and Bah, cannot write down it, as I missed the level code.

MatGubbins

Level 21... hmmm

MatGubbins

Hey this is an ideal game for Kempston mouse support.
Squiggly line under Kempston again... yeah!

BiNMaN

very clever, level 14 looks a real doozy

ok, I'll try to do something about it ;]

I coded it this way as it is common behavior that code for level is shown just before entering level, but maybe I can show it somewhere, so one can look at it also after level starts.

Morkin

Gah..! Now stuck on level 35... :evil:

In this case he would have to completely redo the control routine, introducing mouse cursor...

Morkin

Yeeeaaahhh..! Finally..

That last level was tough.

Turrican

Wonderful game!
Awesome conversion!

Playing it a lot.
