enthusi Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Someone asked me elsewhere, so I just post it here as well. This is the code snippet responsible for the speed up of the game: jsr get_new_tile ;and reset timer inc tiles ;count tiles for numerous reasons lda tiles ;only speed up every 2nd time ror bcc no_speedup ldx game_mode lda tempo clc adc diff_table,x ;speedup sta tempo bcc no_speedup ;saturate maximum speed lda #$f0 sta tempo no_speedup As you can see, at least in theory you could enter a ZEN mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enthusi Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Like we did in the past, we auction our recent game for the Atari 2600 for charity.100% of the highest bid will go to the German division of 'doctors without borders'.Any costs for ebay, paypal or shipping within Germany will be covered by us.It is the fully boxed and signed version of 'Assembloids 2600' (PAL!) for the VCS from AtariAge and we add anAtari savekey as well.We donate our game in the hope to generate some additional value for a good deed with our work.Doctors without borders always gets top ratings and we want to support their great work.Any amount helps.You find the auction and more detauls on the game here:http://ebay.de/itm/202143208592http://www.mobygames.com/game/atari-2600/assembloids-2600https://www.aerzte-ohne-grenzen.deWe welcome any involvement.Best wishes,Martin Wendt, Sven Ruthner & the PriorArt team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaultheRoman Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Will the rom for this ever be released? I use Stella to play VCS games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug0909 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 That would be great... I only collect homebrews for one system (not the 2600) and have limited space, but I have harmony and other SD carts and would love to compensate creators for their work... However it seems only Commodore 64, and to some extent Intellivision, homebrew roms are offered for sale... Don't see this with 2600 and colecovision (though it's nice most 7800 and 8-bit homebrew roms are free). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I just got this game and discovered the first creature not shown in the instructions. Just curious, how many different creatures are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthusi Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Thanks for the purchase! Highly appreciated! There are 8 different faces plus a bonus one at a much higher score Let me know what you think about it and I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 My first impression is the difficulty ramps up a little too fast, but I've only played the game a few days. So far I have discovered two new creatures. It is a fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enthusi Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 The picture is from last weekend's Vintage Computing Festival Berlin.

doug0909 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks so much for the Assembloids 2600 ROM... I like this more than the 8 bit version. How do you adjust the difficulty settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthusi Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 It is the speed increase per placed tile, and the maximum speed. But you can't reach all 'creatures' in difficulty levels below 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 One of the best homebrews of the last few years. Thanks for the binaries!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
