Muncher (26-08-2011) (A2600 Game)

Wickeycolumbus is working on a small game, which is currently named “Muncher”. You play as a yellow square and your goal is to “eat” the red squares while avoiding aliens.

Release notes:

I kind of like the black background, but I’ll play around with other colors. I’m not sure what else I can do with the gameplay, but I might go 4K to include a title screen and SaveKey support.

Epic Adventure v12 (A2600 Game)

Epic Adventure by Byte Knight is an entirely new Adventure game built from the ground-up featuring 32 rooms / mazes with all-new items and enemies (see picture below). It’s kind of a mixture of Adventure and Lord of the Rings. The goal of the game is “the usual” – get the golden chalice back to your home castle. But first, you must kill the Dragon in order for the chalice to appear in one of three places – the Wizard’s Castle, the Dragon’s Castle, or the Troll’s Cave.

Changes:

* Added sounds.
* New & better ending.
* Added Dragon, Troll, and Orc death sprites.
* Added open gate sprites.
* Multiple bug fixes.

Release notes:

I’ve added the ability to move faster by pressing the joystick button. There is now a meter at the bottom left indicating how much longer you can move fast. You can replenish the meter by collecting more red while going slow.

Release notes:

Thanks for the input! I still have a lot to do with adjusting the speeds and all that, but I just added diagonal support just to try it out. I think I may make it so you go faster when holding the button and get reduced points, dropping diagonal movement.

Bell Hopper (24-07-2011) (A2600 Game)

Bell Hopper is a “Winterbells” demake for the Atari 2600, developed by Tomas “Tjoppen” Härdin, released at Summer Assembly 2011.

Collect points by jumping off various objects. Points are awarded for touching bells and the value of each bell increases with each one touched. Touching a bird doubles your existing score, which becomes more important as the game progresses. The game keeps track of the highscore, though not between power cycles.

Muncher (30-07-2011) (A2600 Game)

Wickeycolumbus is working on a small game, which is currently named “Muncher”. You play as a yellow square and your goal is to “eat” the red squares while avoiding aliens.

Release notes:

Here is a new ROM with a few things added. There are now 8 variations, 5-8 being the same as 1-4 but without extra lives. I plan on making the game go faster/make you loose points faster as you clear boards. There will also be extra lives in games 1-4 every couple thousand points.
