An all-new Xtaloid!
This is an ALL-NEW, TOTALLY REWRITTEN version of Xtaloid!
The game is still in the early, primordial phases but a complete rewrite really helped make it possible to advance it much more quickly than before.
Please try it out and see what you think.
You're the blue block at the center. Use the arrows to move, use WASD to shoot. P to pause/unpause.
If you have a standard XBOX-style game pad connected, it'll detect and use that instead. Use the left analog stick to move, the right to fire; press START to pause/unpause.
Score points by picking up green things. Avoid other colors, as this will trash your shield. Lose your shields three times and you lose a life.
However, if you touch something green that's adjacent to other colors, you'll pick up those other colors and get bonus points. Plus, you'll repair your shields!
You can also get bonuses by picking up multiple green things in quick succession.
Once you have collected enough green things, an exit will open to the next level.
Shoot the enemies advancing towards you or moving through the game field. Some enemies, when shot, change the playing field.
This will eventually turn into a full game, but the direction is still TBD.
For users with red/green colorblindness: I'm working on the ability to select an alternate color palette for the game.
