Zauberball'23 - a game for the ABBUC SW contest 2023

[C3PU]

I would like to inform you of the forthcoming release of Zauberball'23, which was submitted to the ABBUC Software Contest 2023.

The forthcoming release version will feature some additional elements, such as an animated graphics scene of the wizard´s home, and a victory scene after completion of all levels.

 

Zauberball is a reinterpretation of the game Wizball, known from the C64, with new gameplay, graphical and acoustic elements, such as new background graphics, additional parallax effects, many extra colors of the Atari palette, countless moving objects and enemy sprites. Filters and alternative POKEY clock rates were used for the sound effects, which makes the sound effects sound more transparent.

Compared to the original version of Wizball, the game flow of Zauberball was slightly revised to allow for an easier start difficulty level. I think that the game is not a copy of the original, but rather is an independent variant with its own charms.

You go to ABBUC and become a member (paid subscription). Otherwise, you wait until the contest is over, when the authors are allowed to release their games to the public.
