B ball – fantastic 80s! Colors, moves! Text!

 


About this game, it is about a little ball that knock down platforms, there are some new features. To have all the things looks some new way. And more interesting. And, also, it is taking into account to have more dynamic game. To have more indications and parameters. To see them at the screen, and later - they disappear. Something like, it is so screen of a sci fi suit or space ship, base. Whatever. It is such element of sci fi interface. For more interest point. Game is a about a ball, that knock down platforms. As idea.



When you knock down the platform at the top. One part of the platform. Each platform has a parts. Different colors. In this case, at the down it lights a line with the same color. You knock down a block of a certain color. Here, there are 16 colors – pallet. And, minus one color – black. It is background. Total 15 colors for a block.



And, there are here two skills. It is destroyer and sharp shooter. And, now, it is written all these indications. That you get  +1 to skill. It is at the left side. And, there are here different colors. Lots of theme. And, all of them are to count. So, it is about a color specter with 15 colors. It is written at the screen left side. For 5 knock down same color parts – you get one this indication. It shows amount of parts same color, you knocked down at this level. And for all the game, such statistics in in the count.



One more interesting feature for a level. It is diagonal territory. At some levels, it will be enemy, which moves by diagonal. He moves random way. Left to right or opposite. And, it has a different step with x and y coordinates. That’s why, he can be rather unpredictable. It gives dynamics and some random things to game process!



So, mainly, there are three enemies types here. It is three enemies casual. They are simply throw little squares at you. In a different place. One more, it is response hit. When you knock down a block. It throws at you as a response same color. And third – diagonal. And that one is not for every level.




And, also, there is a bonus system. It is triple hit, double hit, and five time hit. It is based on statistics you receive during the level. Double hit – most simple. It is when you get +2 destroyer. And triple – when you collect 2 different colors with amount of 2 each. It will be by itself, naturally. And most hard – for two skills sharp shooter - you get five hit! You can collect bonuses. They are with lineup idea. And they are in use automatically. So, you never miss anything. They works automatically as you get them. First goes most powerful, later - little less powerful and so on. It will speed up your gameplay on levels and gives dynamics to the game.



In game, bonuses you can see at the right. At the display. And diagonal territory is, also, shown at the right side. At the left you can see color statistics for level and skills. And, before start, you see number for a level!



And, it is, so, retro sci-fi game. And, everything is colorful. And, some text at the screen, it is shown. Something is happening all the time. You are moving. It happens, that enemy with a diagonal adds a lots of dynamics. And, it is, all time, goes indications events on a screen! So, this is 80s and fantastic, sci-fi! And about little cubes! And rectangles with different colors as idea!
