Irgendwer Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Just to have a central place to keep questions and news about my contribution, I've started this thread. "Saberman" already created a video: ...and on the Abbuc forums is a "Hall of Fame"-thread: http://www.abbuc.de/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10533 ...currently showing a high score of 34, which is very good, as mine was only 29. Anybody else got more points? Edited October 12, 2020 by Irgendwer 18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebiguy Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I like this game. I played many hours on my mobile many years ago. Is it available for everyone (or maybe only to ABBUC members)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 As usual Christian makes very good games, thanks! I played with it a lot on the weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanD Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Fantastic game - it's very addictive! Most times I get only 2 points or so. But sometimes, if I manage to put enough circles on the playfield, I can make 10 or more points. My highscore is 22 points. Thanks for another unusual interesting game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Is "20" medal for 20 balls at the same time then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irgendwer Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Seems that 34 points is some kind of sonic wall... ? FYI: Game was written mainly in cc65 excluding ca65 assembly library routines for text (remember "Seitensprung"?), drawing, fixed point math and sample playing. I plan to release at least the highly optimized SMC Pokey IRQ sample player for the cc65 Atari target. It is based on Sheddy's Space Harrier routine he once published here on AA. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irgendwer Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Sikor said: Hmm, why medals no clear after restart game? Because they also target different styles of game play. F.e. the 10-point medal is only given, if you make exactly 10 points in one turn. Having 9 points and clearing 2 balls with one shot (=11) would mean, there is no chance to achieve that medal in such a game. I see them as collectibles. 1 hour ago, Sikor said: My 5,5years old son record is 6 point ...and, did he like the game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irgendwer Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I like to thank all voters, brining my contribution to the 2nd place of the contest. It was a very strong field with many participants the year. So I like also to thank all fellow participants, making the contest this challenging and interesting! Like promised, here the latest version with (very) minor improvements compared to the contest version (e.g. built with a more recent cc65 version). DiscOPop.xex Edit: Play with trigger (Stick 0) or Shift-key. Edited November 15, 2020 by Irgendwer 6 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanti77 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Nice game, I would add some levels, e.g. a few balls on the screen and we have to take them down in a few moves. It would also be nice to colorize a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already thought about that. ? Maybe I will create a "Collectors Edition" for that. On the other hand, there are so many other entertaining titles and game principles to create...
