KNIGHT HERO [BLACK VERSION]
07-12-2017
THE GAME
This is an action arcade/platform game for Spectrum 48K (without music)/128K (with AY music) made using Arcade Game Designer 4.7 and AGDMusicizer II.
The main character - the player - is a Black Knight chess piece.
But this is not a chess board game.
He was the only one of the white pieces that didn't get caught by the black pieces.
So he went to the black pieces domains to free
the other imprisoned white pieces.
PLAYING THE GAME
The game has 17 playable screens.
In the first screen, the black knight has to pick his clone figure (has if it's a small tutorial).
In screens 2 to 16, the black knight has to release the black piece imprisoned in each one.
In the last screen, the black knight has to pick the chess board to finish the game.
On each screen
he as to avoid getting caught by the white pieces:
- Some of them
patrolling the screen in linear movements, like up and down or left and right;
- Some of them are
bouncing in the screen;
- Some of them are
patrolling the screen using the ladders.
The black knight
has to avoid also the embers and the falling rocks.
Touching the embers or being caught by the falling rocks or the white pieces means losing a life.
In the bottom of
the game screen are:
- The score;
- The message
space;
- The numbers of
lives remaining;
- The number of
paws released;
- The figures of
the black pieces as they're being released.
The game starts
with 5 lives. Losing all of them means GAME OVER.
