Based on Cataclysm on the RISCOS computers.

Keys are Z,X for left right and ',/ for up down and RETURN to drop a block.

Been sitting on my HD for a while now, I know the graphics ain't very good but have a play and tell me if I should finish it.

Cheers
Jim

I kinda like the graphics except for the player's square cat thing.

I've never played the original so it took me a while to figure out what the hell your suppose to do, you might want to put up some instructions.


I really like your water but it reacts more like sand, maybe you should make it look like sand.

Not a big fan of your control scheme, I'm an Arrow Key man...

I like it, you should really finish it.

I still don't know what the grey cubes with red circles do. I drained everything out the bottom funnel but nothing happened, as I said, an objective would be helpful.

Yeah I like it. Well worth finishing. Love the water effect, just like the old version.

yeah the graphics are functional, just replace the cat thing, it's the only out of place thing. I know lots of old games used ZX and other weird keys but I'm not sure "emulating" those old keys is a good idea any more when we have a perfectly good set of arrow keys...

I personally find the old zx cobination much nicer than using the arrow keys, I guess this is another arguement for user defined controls.

As said before just change the square 'cat' and I think the graphics are fine.

Not familiar with the original but it seems like it could be a nice alternative puzzler to me.

Finish it.

ZX/' and Arrow Keys can coexist in harmony with a little "or" statement

Thanks guys, I'll try to put a few levels together and change some stuff you mentioned.

Definable keys would be 'nice' but the game objective is a must (what does what, and what's the goal?)

Other than that, looks good and is definitely worth finishing.

I would love to pick this project up if you are no longer doing it. Or at least would enjoy looking at it.
