Find the original for Windows/Mac/Linux here: https://frantovar.itch.io/twist-of-souls - Maybe a little bit tricky to play. When the figure gets red hair, press space. - Watch the jumping knives and jump at the right moment. Hope you enjoy it. Sources will follow next time. For friends of bootable disks, 90kb atr image with boots udos and start the game twist-of-souls.atr Uncompressed xex file, loadable by a normal dos, boot without active Basic. twist-of-souls.xex 20 11 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374525-twist-of-souls/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mq. Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 It is very nice game, I like it very much, but I think it is to hard to play... Even if I press space, then the game needs to many pixel-perfekt moves. Maybe it's only my opinion:-) And second, I have a question. Why usually after I die, then I start from the last checkpoint, but sometimes the game restarts from the beginning? Is it a bug, or is it a feature? Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374525-twist-of-souls/#findComment-5555938 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Nice game. Thanks and congrats. Nice graphics and mechanics. It is a little tough; but I imagine that's how the original is too (I haven't played the original yet).

This could be a bug. Try to jump through the color background, so you do not need to play overhead. Sometimes it could be better to switch back from overhead to normal so the knifes do not jump. But do not forget to switch back. You may need some time to learn the mechanics. Take a look at my video. This is one reason why I not show the video before the Abbuc contest was over. Pixel-perfekt moves, no most the time 2-3 pixel are ok. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374525-twist-of-souls/#findComment-5556588 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarsImNetz Posted November 3 Author Share Posted November 3 It's a feature. There is no time limit. If you run through the red field, the hair color changes to red. Press the space bar then you will see, there is no time limit if you play over head. The time limit only exists if you play with red hair. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374525-twist-of-souls/#findComment-5559656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peri Noid Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Interresting game. I really like the graphics. A pity, the second button cannot be used to rotate the screen. Reaching for a space takes too much time sometimes. Good job!

snicklin Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 I don't think since the 80s have I seen an Atari 8 bit game as similar to the Windows version as this! Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374525-twist-of-souls/#findComment-5559856 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press the space bar then you will see, there is no time limit if you play over head. The time limit only exists if you play with red hair. The color of the hair remains blue, as the red belt can be bypassed and is not activated. In the video attached above, you can see that the hair color does not change after jumping over the red belt. The spacebar key will not work if we jumped the red lane.

Coalpatch Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 (edited) A really fun game! Might be wise to add instructions onscreen when you gain the ability to play upside down? Great tune, by the way! For anyone who is finding it difficult - hit jump first, then hit the direction key. You can move your character mid-air.
