New game released: Gift Catcher (Atari Lynx)
Added 2020-12-13 23:52:55 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
Here is a "surprise game": I made it in such a limited time (i.e. a single weekend) that I couldn't send you a beta/preview version - sorry about that! This is a game I made for the LynXmas 2020 Game Jam hosted by AtariGamer.com
Gift Catcher is a single button game for the Atari LYNX handheld console.
Can you help Santa catch all the gifts without touching snowflakes?
The game is played in vertical mode, using only the A/B buttons. At first, Santa will move on top of the screen. Press the button, and he'll dive down to catch a gift. Now you can press and hold the button again to make him climb back up to the top of the screen. Catch all the gifts, but avoid touching the moving snowflakes!
If are looking for a challenge, my current highscore is 24 points!
How to play
Download the game ROM files in .LNX (emulator) and .LYX (flashcart) formats. The fully commented source code is also provided as a separate download if you want to make new games for the Atari LYNX too! I've attached the files to this post too for your convenience!
I hope you'll enjoy this (tiny) game!
