HSC18 Round 17: GAMES FROM 2020/2021


Recommended Posts

Betty's Issues. Got to this screen. That blue monster thing fires shots at you. You can take it's health by hitting it with the red/pink things that fall to the ground.

However they seemed to run out, so didn't know what to do after that!

 

Anyway it seems like a good game, worth a bit more of a play

Angry Betty - no score. I managed to pick up some gems from the underground and came back up but since I refuse to read instructions ? I've got no idea what to do to actually build a house. I figured that digging in diagonals helps you getting back up unless you buy more ladder.

 

Betty's Issues - I picked up gems worth around 7 strength units or whatever the left meter is for, but didn't get particularly far. I suppose it is another game where you measure progress, not score per se. Looking good, nice music, probably worth playing again.

 

Biscuits in Hell - 590 pts, level 2. This apparently was a ZX Spectrum conversion, but clever use of colour makes sure it doesn't look like a dull Speccy game. Not my favorite genre, but definitely a playable platformer with fairly unique movement in that it is easy to change platforms by moving right or down, but harder to move left or up. It seems to have a fair bunch of power-ups and bonuses and probably can be quite hectic.

OK, tried some more.

 

Kooky's Quest:  10410, quest finished!  Yup, I must have had the wrong xex last time because it worked just fine.  

Cross Bomber:  2180.  I really enjoyed this one.  Have to admit that in the first level I didn't realize the plane was dropping a row after each pass :)

Cross Shoot:  640.  Found shooting and controls awkward.  Didn't like it.

Cross Snake:  1883.  Fun take on the idea.  Think it's easier because if you hit a wall you just stop, so you can plan moves.

Slicks:  (or 8bit Slicks as it says on the title screen).  This would be much more fun to race against another person, but reminds me of On-Track.  Controls well and I enjoyed it, although the computer player was awful.

Albert:  That title screen is gorgeous.  The level intro screen is gorgeous.  The game is gorgeous.  Even though I got the warning about being 60fps it seemed to play just fine to me.  I struggled with the ladder but I can see myself playing this again for sure.  I ran out of game play on level 1, but I'm playing on a RAMBOd 1200XL so I'll see if I get to see level 4 or not eventually.

(Rainer) Deszczownik - 84% on Stephanie Meyer - Twilight

 

Technically this is a 2019 game but it was uploaded on Fandal in January 2020 so I guess it could count. Also it seems the English translation was released in February 2021 which makes it even more relevant. Quite interesting game idea, move the cat and use the umbrella to steer letters so they fall through and not get caught by the fires. Use water drops to temporarily close the fires. I suppose each chapter equals a difficulty level so I only played the first one "Stephanie Meyer - Twilight" (Edit: Or if it is Stephenie).

Congratulations to.... AtariSphinx for the win :thumbsup: with 8BIT 1337 in runner up spot :thumbsup:  I scored the table based on number of games played, if I missed anyone let me know! Thanks to all who played and posted a few comments, I'm sure the author's appreciated it and it helps us all to find a few goodies in the mix.

I never loaded either of the Piracy games, but I did try Betty's Issues so perhaps the entry should have ended up on that table. I suppose in the end it doesn't matter since I "only" played 15 games anyway.
