Newish Game: Sam Coupe "Sploids"

Post by Spud »

Hi SAM Fans,

For Woot! 2019 I did the Assembloids type game Sploids

I have now polished it up for the Sam Coupe and the result is here

Sploids

Hope you enjoy if you try it out :)

I may have to familiarise myself with the original first, but anything SAM-related is very welcome.

Now, if you can do that, how about making the first SAM Coupé CSSCGC entry since... last December? (And only the third ever, that is, if you beat [mention]equinox[/mention] to it, who's made a half-promise a few days ago...)

Look at that loading screen. I even made a tape version that loads in real time on ZEsarUX so it's obvious to everyone who tried it what a SAM loading screen looks like.

The first was Advanced Superior Space Invaders 2600 Conversion Simulator in [mention]R-Tape[/mention]'s 2013 competition:

So you've really got no excuses at all. MUSH!

This is ace, great work. I'm not so keen on the second graphics set, but everything else is fantastic.

Glad you like it, the second graphics set doesn't work so well, but seemed a shame to not include it :)

Just my opinion: it'd be better using only the first graphic set, or making it selectable rather than toggled, but it's a really polished game either way.

BTW it will appear in ZXDB as "Sploids" and AKA "SAMoids", or would you prefer the other way round?

Hmm, official name is Sploids, samoids was more of a developmental name; so the former would be best :)
