Complete The Only Level on your 83+/84+
Posted by Xavier on 12 April 2016, 21:17 GMT

Game of Life

Yesterday's feature is about the This is the Only Level platformer game for the monochrome 84+ by Josiah "JWinslow23" Winslow. Like several of his other programs, it's written in Axe, and features grayscale graphics.

This game, available under multiple formats (FlashApp, assembly programs for multiple shells - kudos for trying quite hard to cater to a wide range of user habits!), is a reimplementation of one of Armor Games' many Flash games. Players, should they take on the challenge, will need to find their way through all of the stages of the single level, which requires doing whatever it takes to deal with the respective set of special features / behaviours shown by every stage. No spoiler about these peculiarities here, it wouldn't be cool and wouldn't do justice to the author's hard work!

If you still have one of the older calculator designs with a monochrome screen and ASM program / FlashApp support, you can have some time exercising your brain (if you want to succeed, you can't be as forgetful as the poor elephant who forgot the other levels! And remember: the occasionally taunting messages may, or may not, help) and fingers with this fun little program. And so can your [class]mates (assuming calculator nerds have any?), relatives, or whoever.

Oh my, I got featured. I wonder if this means I'm gaining fame and notoriety, or the complete opposite.

Thanks for the news article! I now have something to boast about to my friends. (What friends?) Shhhhh...

Thank you so much. I gotta admit, it was hard to create good graphics in the first place for it. It's nice to see people pretend that "elephant" has a trunk. ;)
