Splat (Retro Remakes 2004
Compo Game)
Description
This is my entry for the
Retro Remakes 2004 Compo which ran from
1st July to 30th September 2004 which gives
us a chance of winning a prize. I have written
a remake of a 1983 ZX Spectrum game by Incentive
Software, called 'Splat'. You have to guide
'Zippy' through many levels of hazards and
escape through the top of the maze. Sounds
easy, but the maze is constantly moving
around and getting faster with each new
level. You have to avoid the maze edges,
spikes, water and a variety of other things
while eating grass and plums. Get a good
score and you get on the global Top 50 chart.
Prize Update!
I won something! I won
some games and utilities for most faithful
remake and also an Atari joystick with bulit
in games as a special judges prize from
STompy. Overall I came 17th out of 73 which
is not bad at all for my first proper game.
