Assemboid Lynx by PriorArt
Assembloids Atari Lynx by PriorArt 2019 v 1.04 Assembloids is a fast-paced action puzzler in arcade style. We find that one of the strengths of the Lynx are quick, mobile games without much overhead and something that you could pass around to friends&family to compete :) Check HIGHSCORES at http://enthusi.de/scores.html This is also why we added a rather relaxed difficulty mode (1) and a much faster mode (3) for shorter games. The basic concept of such an puzzler was originally developed by Photonstorm for the flash game 'Quartet'. We have the official ok to spread the love to the Atari Lynx and finally render it a mobile experience :) Graphics and dimensions are designed to make the game playable on real hardware, including original LCDs as well as smartphone emulators. HOW TO START: After Splash screen, logo and Title you enter the MENU. PRESS BUTTON to START GAME right away (difficulty 2 is DEFAULT!). Select difficulty level 1-3 (1: kids!, 3: very challenging) with left/right Select the helpscreen with 'up' and a credits scene with 'down' and press button. Flip pages in credit screen with button or keypad. HOW TO PLAY: Place the central piece of an animal face into one of the four adjacent windows by pressing into the proper direction. The LEDs indicate the time that is left. The speed will increase with placed tiles. After a lost life, the game will slow down notably again. Try to get as many points as you can. The more complete a face is (i.e. mostly or only parts of the same animal) the more points you score. The BONUS in the lower right indicates the multiplier. If you are too slow and time runs out or you place a tile into an already occupied slot, you lose a life. The game ends when you lost all lives. You will then see a 5 digit CODE in the lower right which contains the current HIGHSCORE and LEVEL you played in. Please report that code + score to assembloids@enthusi.de We keep an online highscore chart! When you manage to CLEAR the whole BOARD you get a whopping 500 points and an extra life! You can use OPTION 2 to reset the game during play. OPTION 1 will toggle the in-music between 100%, 50%, 0% volume. CONTROLS: Use any button to skip splash, logo, or title screen OPTION 1 will set the music volume (in menu and game) OPTION 2 will reset to title during game play KEY PAD to place center pieces into the four windows I hope you have as much fun playing this game as we had developing it :) CREDITS: PriorArt Games Programming - Martin 'enthusi' Wendt Graphics - Oliver 'v3to' Lindau Musik & Sound - Kamil 'Jammer' Wolnikowski (some graphics are considered non-finished and will receive a final polish after compo) FEATURES: - Fully written in Assembler language, no external tools/libraries - no pre-existent routines/functions from third parties used except for sprpck and doynamite packer - CONTINOUS 3 Channel music, 1 channel for SFX samples, own music engine - smooth transitions between screens (fades etc, no color garbage) - Fast loader (own loader) - Lynxsplash image with 182 unique colors (full RGB without flicker) - TWO hidden images with more than 256 colors :) - Title tune and in-game musik during gameplay as well as game-over jingle - 128 KB cartrige - Encrypted HIGHSCORE code - There will always be a suitable piece - The engine prevents you from getting a cleared board early on by try-and-error! - three difficulty modes to make it accessible to kids and very casual gamers (tested ;-) CHANGES since v1.03: - new in-game BG gfx - enhanced credits gfx - default volume of music is 50% for clearer SFX - hand pixeled title lynx image
