Story

This is a small game that I started back with the "Bocco's adventures" in 2018. 

My main goal was to try to use the characters as sprites, dynamically changing their visualization during the game.

The game has 40 levels (little work for Dom :) ).

I publish it as it was made in march 2020.

I look forward to hearing your opinion.

Have fun! :)

How to play

The goal of the game is to collect all the points and find the exit from the level.

During the level you have to watch out for traps and avoid bats.

Starting the game

After launching the game, press any key to pass the intro picture.

On the menu you get the following options:

• P - Play the game
• I - Instructions
• R - Redefine keys

Game controls

• "Arrows" - Move the ball
• "G" - Give up.
• "S" - Sound fx on/off
• "!" - Exit back to Sedoric

Important: Just press the movement key and then release it: The ball will move until it reaches an obstacle, which often is an important part of the puzzle solving.

If you stay pressed on the key you may not stop and fail the to solve the puzzle.
