Squares

[+5-11under]

Here's a ROM file, "squares01.rom", which works on Virtual Coleco and ColecoVision, and should work in MESS. It's a bunch of squares bouncing around a playfield.

 

The blue square is controlled by joystick #1. The gameplay so far is to avoid the other squares. Any other gameplay ideas are appreciated.

 

There's still bugs in the bouncing if the blue square is moving, and the "score" just keeps rolling.

 

Thanks,

Very smooth animation and control. Fix the bugs, add increasing difficulty, and compress it down to 1K for a real nice minigame.

 

Needs better/interesting graphics/gameplay/bells/whistles and sounds to be a good 4K+ game, IMO.

 

Nice start, though!

Thanks for the reply. I don't know if 1K is do-able or desirable, but 4K might work, although it's not a priority.

I've added version 02 into the first post.

 

Gameplay hasn't changed too much yet, and there are still some bugs.

There's just some level changes that occur, which change the size,

quantity and speed of the squares.

 

Thanks,
