contest: NDS GAME - StripedRectangle By: Proto_T

[proto_T]

Hello everyone.

I had a short time to prepare this and its my first DS program. I didnt want to copy an existing game so i made one from scratch that is simple enough to do with my little knowledge. Have fun and let me know what you think. I'll enjoy feedback how to make this game better (i allready had a few ideas).

This is the game notes in the zip.

Hello

Thanks for Downloading.

The object of the game is to get rid of blocks, all of the blocks, but since it is never ending win having 2 or less columns AND rows. You can also cause a special effect by finishing a row with the block type as the one on the right side.

Keys:

Start   - Pause and unpause the game
Select   - Reset the level.
A   - Move the blocks instead of cursor
B   - Speed the blocks up (which are floating in)


Bugs:

   Not sure since i didnt really have time to make this game. I found out about the competition a week ago . From what i can tell there are a few graphical glitches but no real bug that effects the gameplay. Take it easy on me while voting, feel free to leave me feedback.


This was tested on DS hardware. I am not sure how well emulators can handle it.

can you upload the screenshoots?

can you upload the screenshoots?

Since you asked i tried several emulators. Dulis seems to run it.
I am not sure how to upload pics i hope i did it right.

When you hold A and hit the d-pad, the whole row is suppused to shift?  it seems like some colors don't shift sometimes.

That cursor should be a square around the selected circle.  Also you're not using your palette properly.  For the pink entry to be transparenty, it must be palette entry 0

Not bad for a week though!

Colour 0! yes, that sounds like it would work. I tried doing that (since i heard other consoles does that too. It wasnt a handheld).

I couldnt figure out how to get the tool i used (kalid) to do it and as you guess i didnt have much time to do this. I am surpised i did as much as i did.

I was told this game is similar to yoshi cookie for the GB. I never owned the GB though. I plan to play it soon if i can find it.
