pseudografx Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Adding a few screenshots to provide some eye-candy :-) I removed the actual passwords in the level screenshots and put there the string "MBLAST". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Nice Game. But I don't know why I kind a know about this graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urchlay Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Nice game! * PAL system recommended Actually, I can confirm that it works fine on NTSC. Possibly the music is playing faster than it should, but it sounds fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allas Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Very nice and addictive logic game. Really appreciate the cool graphics, colors an the good music. Congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross PK Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Nice one, it's nice to know that games are still being made for our 8-bit. It's like the A8 scene has never really died out. Edited April 1, 2007 by Ross PK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 it seems that more people are working on games and hardware than on demos.... vice verser than in the late 90s.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjomki Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hi all! My newest game "Mind Blast" is out. Addictive. Thanks a lot! Regards, patjomki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) I've played through 18 levels and have just reached level 19 with the addition of another color. Maybe it will get difficult now. I do like the graphics and music. Is there a chance of a stereo music version? Edited April 2, 2007 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gury Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Another great game from you Fandal, congratulations! No previous announcements, just surprises... I like it. Addictive as usual, I liked Bombex very much too, even if it was 1K game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Haven't D/L'd the game but looking at the screenshots i guess you used some of those advanced gfx techniques like hip/gtia bug etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudografx Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Haven't D/L'd the game but looking at the screenshots i guess you used some of those advanced gfx techniques like hip/gtia bug etc Neither HIP (no interlace at all) nor GTIA bug are used. In order to get so many colours per rasterline, the game does heavily use sprite underlays. Also mid-scanline register changes are used in the status bar.

I love the attention to graphics and colour usage with mid scanline changes and underlay in current produced games.. It makes my day to see it I forever wanted this to be done on every game back in the day. The recent game's aren't just good graphically, they are very playable to the point of addiction. I've played Cubico and Monex a L.O.T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the puzzle is not really heavy, but, when someone likes to have some relaxed puzzling in his sparetime, he finds the right game here. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
