Firewhip (03-09-2010) (Caanoo Game)

Firewhip, the “game” category winner of the 2nd GP32spain.com Coding Competition, is an amazing platform game with superb grahpics.

The game borrows essences from various games, but heavily reminds on “Shadow of the Beat”, known from the Amiga. This might be due to the fantasy style theme. The only negative about this game is, that although you do have a task, the game lacks of a scoring system and urgently need one plus a high score table.
