That's a password save function. You can finish the levels in whichever order you like, and obtain a password for your progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have been given a password from "Outcode", you can enter that password in "Incode" and it will resume state of level completions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game does not work or has a bug during a game. The problem must be that it doesn't work well on atari 7800 pal yes with an atari vcs console the ntsc game works well How does it not work? Does it work and then crash? Have you tried both the PAL and PAL60 versions? The game was tested on an Atari 7800 NTSC and did work fine.

+MarcoJ Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Pitkat received awards at the 3rd Annual Atari Homebrew Awards show, hosted by Zeropage Homebrew. It received 2nd for Best Port (overall), 3rd for Best Graphics (Port), and 3rd for Music & Sound (Port) categories. It was enchanting to be second to the outstanding Zoo Keeper port by Champ games. It was a neck to neck battle for 2nd and 3rd place with the amazing Tower of Rubble port. The awesome Robot City came in 4th in this category but managed to win 1st place in the under 4K category. Well done to the other port nominees alongside us - Blipsketball, Midspace and Avalanche. A big thankyou to the Atariage members who voted for Piktat and to the sponsors of the Atari Homebrew awards - Zeropage Homebrew, Atariage, Argon and The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion.

Jamtex Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 There wil be a box and manual for PitKat, the game won't be directly sold but will be available by other means (email us for more information).

+MarcoJ Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Hi All, The R3 version of Pitkat has been released. It is available at the top of the forum. Release Notes R3 2021-03-31 1. New graphic engine to remove horizontal and vertical gaps. 2. Adjustments of tiles to become 8 pixels wide (instead of 7). Kats have longer tails! 3. Adjustments of tiles to mesh vertically without a gap. 4. Adjustment of bitmapped backgrounds to take advantage of the new graphics engine 5. Simplification of floor graphic during gameplay.

Prizrak Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 @MarcoJ I've said it once and I'll say it again. PitKat is amazing and shows what this humble system is capable of. PitKat and Robomechanik are the two best puzzle homebrews for the system.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the gaps do help convey separation for monochrome coloured objects side by side and also vertically. In Pitkat R3 I've made character objects and ladders still 7px wide, which yes does leave them off centre. The move to gapless helps the soil/concrete and bitmaps gel together moreso than the characters. Cheers Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Pat Brady Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I somewhat prefer the gaps in the actual game. But the title and selection screens look distinctly better gapless. Regardless, it's a fantastic game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvallet Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I've been very happy to play around 20 levels on my a2600 (pal / secam) back on my tv with a unocart. This is a great puzzle game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
