That looks intriguing! I also love Boulderdash!
-
Boulderdash is technically correct, but it's something more specific. Possibly only known in the UK though.
-
@chiizujin Repton on the BBC!
-
@pianofire Yes! Best game ever!
-
Always glad to see retro-style games being made!

Reminds me of son of Blagger on c64.
Prove me wrong. -
Haha crazily enough I just started prototyping a boulder dash screen today!

Prove me wrong.I liked Blagger goes to Hollywood, the different music was great!

Looking great. I haven't played the games people are talking about, but I think just for the coloured keys it reminds me a little of Chips Challenge.
-
OK, now it's starting to feel like an actual game.
Here's a few seconds of me running around in my test level.
-
oh yes! that is looking really good now!
-
Brilliant, love the look of this

There was one I used to play on the atari st. There were butterflies that exploded into diamonds when they died. Can’t remember the name though. Might have been skulldiggery, but the screenshots don’t look familiar :/
-
Sounds like Boulderdash?
-
@chiizujin This is fantastic. You've nailed the gameplay. I hope you do plenty of levels 😊
-
@SteveZX81 Close (and indirectly correct). Pianofire got it earlier - it's inspired by Repton on the BBC Micro. However, Repton was inspired by Boulderdash, though reportedly the author (Tim Tyler) had never actually played it but just knew of the concept. Boulderdash was new at the time. Over the years there have been hunderds of Boulderdash style games.

@spt-games Yeah I want to have a fair few levels. The gameplay is all done now. I just have a few things to do related to progressing through the levels and the win/lose state, then it'll all be level design. I'm hoping to include some nasty ones, hehe.
-
@chiizujin This is excellent. I'll be interested to play it when you have finished 😊 Some challenging levels will keep it interesting!
-
The game (engine) is now done and I'm progressing nicely with the real levels. I sometimes find myself chuckling at the devious traps.
