New Amiga Game - Downfall
 
Downfall is a new Amiga game written in Blitz Basic for classic Amigas.

Ever had one of those nightmares (or dreams, if you're that way inclined) that you're constantly falling? Well with Downfall, those dreams (nightmares?) become a reality. Sort of. It would have to be a very specific dream, in which you're a mouse and are trying to make sure you land on platforms that are constantly moving upwards FOREVER. Until you do something careless like die. By falling off the bottom to your doom, or being squished at the top.

Yes folks, that's all there is to it. In Downfall, eventually you will die, be it through incompetence or boredom. Your aim is to delay the inevitable for as long as possible by staying on the screen while the platforms scroll up the playfield. This means that should you be too slow, you'll disappear off the top of the screen and it's game over, but being too eager or otherwise making an embarrassing misjudgement means you will meet your end by dropping off the display.

Always nice to see newly develop Classic software, well done Graham for getting it finished :)

You're not allowed to review this game yourself btw!

Hi,

I wish I could program, but the best I could do was:

10 Print "Look I am programming"
20 GOTO 10

It was a perfect scrolling thing

By the way nice going, Amiga needs every program it can get.

Looks good!

It works well on my A1200 with 060. No issues...

Not tried it yet on my Minimig 1.1 which is ECS.

Great job!, looks easy, but it's not!

Works fine with A1200 and Blizzard IV 030 50MHz

BTW, is it possible in the future to add background parallax scrolling just like the Jaguar?

@amiman99

There is an AGA version planned and that is one of the possible improvements.
