My new game: Tobit

Post by Ralf »

It's Christmas time, so it's time for my gift game for the Spectrum community.

This time I wanted to do something a bit different. It's a game with a religious theme, you don't have
them very often, don't you? ;)

It's not a Christmas theme however. It's maybe a less known biblical story, yet I found it quite interesting.

It's neither Christian nor anti-Christian propaganda. It just retells the story. And the story is actually similar
to a fairytale or some fantasy. Believe me, I haven't invented anything in it myself.

And it has several arcade minigames ;) You may recognize some inspirations in these games here and there.

Tobit
Inspired by: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Tobit

Haha, nice. I think there is a label or category for religion inspired games in the database, IIRC. Somehow reminded me a NES game I downloaded randomly:

Isn't that what a Yorkshireman calls the prequel to The Lord of the Rings?

Thanks!! Cool music and characters. So far it's a challenging sokoban game. Looking forward to go past stage 1. Stuck in last part 5

Looks great Ralf. I always try and complete yours so I'll give this a good go.

Yep the Religious Gospel group, and I suspect Tobit will be the best member of it.

It's great this Ralf. Loving your style. I find the mix of bible and arcade a bit bizarre, but that's just me.

Stage 1 is a great idea. I don't think I've seen Sokoban with archers before. The levels are well designed—I can tell because I've fallen into most of your traps.

I'm trying very hard to like stage 2, but keeping track of all 3 sprites is making my head hurt! At least gravity was weaker in the third century :dance
