Trying to find a game title.

Post by wicklowbloke »

I´m trying find the title of a game if anyone can help. It was a two dimensional game with the main character floating around and you had to squeeze through various gaps without touching the walls or edges. It may have been based underwater but cant remember. I remember it was a bit additive playing it for a few weeks.

Interesting but not that one. It did have the fine pixel by pixel movement though. I think the characher was like an angel or something.

I played a similar game not too long ago, but I can't remember the title. It may or may not be the same game. Anyway, I recall you have to guide something from start to finish without touching anything along the way. The screens are drawn with asterisks as the walls/tunnels and your character has a pendulum thing swinging left and right all the time, adding to the challenge.

The game only works with Issue 2 keyboard.

If I may, please forgive my little joke, but it's, aha, definitely - you know - if you'll excuse me *clears throat*... not Stonkers.

I think this may be it. The character definitely looks right, though I thought it was slower moving. The birds ring a bell too, though I thought when the character died a bird flew down and took him away. (I may be mixing that up with some other game). I just played the game a bit and it seem easier than I remember. Maybe there was some king of copy or sequel to this game which may have been harder. But I think this is it. Thanks for the recommendations. I spent a lot of time trawling through lists of games trying to figure it out.
