I want to share the first demo rom of my newest project for 2600. It's (for now) called Slide and its mechanics is pressty simple: slide through the room, avoid obstacles, activate some switches and exit the room. The current rom includes only 14 screens, but the engine is pretty much completed, so it is totally playable. You just have to use the stick to slide. Pressing the button PAUSE/UNPAUSE the game Testing and feedback will be appreciated. slide_wip_20210205.bin Edited March 10, 2021 by vhzc 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitoco Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 You should recover lives when you clear a screen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+-^CrossBow^- Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I've managed 340 for a score so far. Only bug I've seen and it could be an emulation thing. Sometimes just when I get to the exit, I will see the CLEAR for a frame or 2 where the exist is before it is shown in the middle of the screen. Otherwise like all your other games, this is damn addictive stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know why that bug happens, I will add an extra drawscreen between the moment you exit the room and the CLEAR sprites are defined and that should correct it.

RevEng Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Impressive! I like the action-infused tilt-maze mechanics. The only suggestion I'd make is to eventually include a difficulty level choice, which would relax the timer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am testing different settings to avoid to make the easy level too easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Santiago Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Man, I can't believe we had the same idea in the mechanics of our games! LOL! ? ? This is the "K-Jo in: Chasing the cheese" that is about to be released here in Brazil. I've been working on it since September and is currently in the "Release Candidate 01" version. I will make a topic of it soon. Edited February 7, 2021 by Leonardo Santiago 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 @Leonardo Santiago interesting, always funny two see two ideas emerge at the same time.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 This is a blast! This is my current high score on the latest build on norm difficulty. I've not tried easy as normal was what you started with. But this looks to be as high as I can get currently as I've scored this 3x in a row now. So...lets see those high marks!

vitoco Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I tried all versions in the real console, and it is hard. There are some places where you have to be precise. To be able to reach the end, I need a way to recover lives, at least one per screen. Req: I found no way to return to the difficulty menu (select switch?). Bug: when entering some screens or leaving the pause mode, some objects with non-symetrical horizontal bitmaps are shown in the mirrored shape, at least for one frame.

Thanks for testing. - This game is a hard, but it's fair. Recover one life per screen would make it too easy for my standards so is not an option. - I will implement select to return to Select screen, that was always in the plans, just forget to add it ? - I have not noticed that bug, thanks for let me know about it. Fortunately I think is pretty easy to correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
