Qbox, a filmation game (3D) made with AGD is out! I really like this one, you should try it out

Interesting. Taking the notion of “game over” to the next level. Tried the 48K version, and when you lose all your lives, the computer resets.

Attempting to play the 128k .tap on Fuse - both intro and in game tunes are fantastic!

But... I don't get the gameplay - none of objects are picked up. I do lose life when hit by an enemy.

Loving the game. I guess I will have to complete it...

It's good.

You have to pick objects in order, first 10, 20, and so on

And when collect them all, go to some pyramid shaped object to finish the level.

I played it for the moment. Interesting game and probably with good difficulty. Unfortunately it's just me who is crap at isometric games. From time to time Iget confused with controls and for example instead of going right up go right down and lose a life. But I get better with each play

There may be some bugs. When I completed level 1 in 128kB version the game on next level showed me "Level 1" title again.

Very nice game concept with interesting game play and some cool graphics and enemy with patterns (per type).

Specially like the fact that some blocks are traps, or that you can trap yourself, by falling hard from higher place twice in the same spot.

My only beef with it is always starting from the level starting position after losing a life.
Although I do appreciate the simplicity that provides in the code.

It has at least a annoying bug in the 48K version:
After losing all lives, computer resets (sometimes, not always).

Floating bus vs snow. Bang!
Emulators have beaten real hardware again.

Sergio, the author of the game, just told me he has corrected the bug in the 48K version, so now should be ok. The download is in the same link

This is very impressive. Shows you can have a good isometric game without a fancy, slow, isometric engine. The collision is not technically correct but it's not a problem.

I would have thought the AGD sprite XOR would make this setting look horribly messy, but crafty sprite design mostly gets around it.

On Level 8, where it gets very tricky.

Just making sure -there is no jump key is there?

Can you please ask if he's the same Sergio Llata that co-authored this game?

There is no jump key, but our character can automatically jump when getting close to a higher platform

It is the same Sergio, yep

I always try to use AGD in a creative way but this is really way beyond anything I have seen made with that utility so far.

Kudos to anyone involved - I believe Jonathan should add this to the examples of what you can do with AGD in the documentation introduction.

I got to play it this morning and i think it is really good little puzzle/maze game and i think the Isometric view works really well.

Well done to the programmers
