Kandy Mania 1.1
The idea is to remove groups of Kandy sweets(2 or more together) from the screen before the timer runs out. Thebigger the group, the more points you get.You have to remove 100 Kandy sweets from the screen to completeeach level. Once the sweets have been removed, the ones above willdrop down, and fresh ones appear from the top. If there are nopossible groups, you will be told, and will lose a life (you startwith 3, and are NOT given any more).The timer bar ticks down at a constant rate, roughly 2 secondsfor each bar on level 1, and gets slightly quicker at the start ofevery level. If you run out of time, you lose a life, and the levelWILL restart.A bonus is awarded at the end of each level for the time youhave remaining ... do the level quicker, get a bigger time bonus.You are also rewarded a bonus calculated on the Kandy groups youremove ... the more larger Kandy groups you remove, the higher the"Kandy Bonus".There are 2 ways to play the game ...The quicker, simply tap on a Kandy group to remove it. Doing itthis way could lead to mistakes ... tapping a single Kandy costsyou five timer bars ... but you get the chance of getting a biggerscore.The slower, and probably more frantic, use the arrow controls inthe lower part of the screen to highlight a Kandy group, and tapthe "tick" button (which will only become active if the cursor ison a valid group). Doing it this way means you can't make amistake, but you'll get a lower score!This game features a "highest world scores" feature (whichrequires an internet connection, either through WiFi, or thedevices mobile signal). Players don't just see what personal bestthey can get, but can compete for being the "best in the world", oratleast make the top 50. Your own personal scores are shown in aseparate high score table, so if you can't be the best in theworld, you can try to get your own highest score.
Spherical - 2 1.1
This is a remake of the 80's classic"Sokoban". The idea of the game is simple ... push the red spheresonto the correct finishing locations (signified by blue circles).Sound easy? Maybe it is, but sometimes looks can be decieving. Thisis another 100 levels to exercise your grey matter and keep youthinking.
WaterWorks 1.1
This game was inspired by the 90s classicPipemania.Unlike Pipemania, in this version, the screen is already filledwith random tubes, they cannot be moved, only rotated.Bonus point tubes also appear at random (+100, +250 and +500),though a maximum of 5 of each type will ever appear (sometimes youmight not get any, but that's the luck of the draw, theirappearance is random!). There is an in-built multiplier for thesebonuses, therefore, the more levels you complete, the higher thebonus value of each will be (they will still display +100, +250,+500, regardless of the bonus multiplier).Be careful of the one-way tubes, these have an arrow on them,and water WILL only flow through them in the direction of thearrow.The start and end location of the flow, although set centrallyin the first and last columns when the level begins, can be alteredbefore water enters them. Once the water has started to flow, thestart cannot be moved (obviously!), though the end location can bemoved up until it contains water.If you are satisfied that the water will flow from the start tothe end, you can position the cursor next to the start position,and a "run" button will appear at the bottom of the screen, tapthis, and the flow will move quicker ... this action is notreversible, and the flow cannot be slowed down again on thatlevel.When you start the game, there is a 30 second delay before thewater starts to flow ... this is reduced by 1 second for everylevel you complete, down to a minimum of 5 seconds. In the earlylevels, the water flows quite slowly, but this increases in speedevery 5 levels. A blank (and therefore unusable) section will alsoappear every 5 levels, a maximum of 5 will appear to hinder yourquest to get the water across the screen.The game features two high score tables ... one for your ownpersonal 50 best scores, and one for the 50 best worldwide scores(an internet/data connection must be available on the device forthis feature to work). Have you got what it takes to be the worldsbest? When displaying your own personal best scores, you have theoption to clear them.
Spherical - 3 1.1
The third, and final part, of the Sphericaltrilogy. This is a remake of the 80's classic "Sokoban". The ideaof the game is simple ... push the red spheres onto the correctfinishing locations (signified by blue circles). Sound easy? Maybeit is, but sometimes looks can be decieving. Another 100 levels totest your grey matter and make you think a little more.
Grid-Run-R Plus 1.2
This game was inspired by Transversion, whichwas similar to the 80's classic GridRunner. The object of the gameis simple ... clear each grid of pods and avoid being blasted bythe Guardians around the edge.There are 2 levels of difficulty : easy (2 rockets are fired atyou at a time), and hard (4 rockets fire at you).There's 75 levels for you to master, though if you manage tocomplete them all, you start again from the beginning, buteverything will go a little bit faster. Each cycle through the 75levels is called a "journey".The level you're on determines the points you get for each podyou collect, the only exception to this is the even numbered levels... these pods are green (or blue in "Blitz" mode) and are worth 75points multiplied by the "journey" regardless of the level.If a rocket hits you during a level, you will lose a life,except on green pod levels. On those levels, you simply gettransported to the next level without losing a life. An extra lifeis given when you reach levels 25,50 and 75 in each "journey".The rules for "Blitz" mode are slightly different ... you startwith only one life (instead of three), and you don't get anyextras. The pods on even numbered levels in this mode are colouredblue, and unlike normal mode, the rockets on those levels will alsokill you.This game has been tested on phones and tablets, and works onboth types.
Xiggy 1.1
Your task is simple : Find the 500 gemsscattered randomly around the maze.There's a problem, or to be more precise, four problems : theedge "Defenders" ... they will constantly try and line themselvesup with your location (either horizontally or vertically), and oncethey have a lock, they'll fly across the room to try and hityou.You may only have a meager 3 lives, but those 3 lives each have3 possible hits ... so, in theory, just like a cat, you've got 9lives to get the task done.You can only walk on the floor grids, the game won't let youfall off into the water below (because that would be just a littlebit too cruel, given the task you have to do!). If you walk onto afloor grid with a red/yellow pattern on it, you'll be transportedto the next room in that direction.The game features an "auto-save" ... your current progress willbe saved when you move from room to room, or you return back to themain menu. If a saved game is present when you tap "play", you willbe given the option to continue that game, or start a new one. NOTE: if you complete the game (find all 500 gems), the "auto-save"game will automatically be removed.
Interstellar Intrigue 1.1
This is a conversion of the forgottenclassicby the late Mike Singleton (who also created the betterknown"Lords of Midnight"). It originally appeared in the 1984C&VGYearbook as a BASIC listing for the ZX Spectrum, BBC ModelB, Atari400/800 and the Dragon 32. This version was converted fromthe ZXSpectrum listing.The gameplay is true to the original. There's twodifferentstyles of in-game graphics ... "retro (1984)" : based onthe ZXSpectrum version, and "modern (2014)", these can be selectedeitherfrom the main menu screen, or during the game. There is anhidden"Easter Egg", where I've sent my thanks and greetings tovariouspeople, but you'll have to find it to see it.I've included the original storyline, and the rules (or "howtoplay") within the game ... so you've got everything you needbuiltright in to help make it easy to play and understand. The gamecanbe played by two to five players (just like the original).
Spherical - Trilogy 1.2
The idea of the game is simple ... pushthespheres onto the finishing locations (signified by orangesquareson the floor) at which point they will turn green ... thelevel iscomplete when all the spheres have been turned green.Does that sound easy? Maybe it is, but sometimes looks canbedeceiving. The spheres can only be pushed, one at time, andneverpulled. Every level you complete gains you an extra "reset"(youstart a new game with 2).The game contains 300 levels (plus 3 introductory "veryeasy"levels), split equally between the 3 parts (use the arrowbuttonsat the top of the screen to select which part you want toplay) ...it may take some time to complete them all.A record is kept of your progress through thegame("statistics"), and each part of the game has separaterecords.When viewing your statistics, tapping on the record foranycompleted level will show you a replay of how it was done(orsimply to show your friends).You can start from any level you've previously completed ...tapthe left and right arrow buttons under "continue game" tochangethe start point. Tapping on "continue game" will start youfrom thelevel shown.NOTE : If you start a "new game", any statistics WILL beclearedfor the currently selected part.
