QUAHAPPY
THE GAME
This is an action arcade/adventure 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 Dauntless Andy.
Andy is called as "Dauntless" because he accepts dangerous challenges with a smile in his face.
His friends challenged him to go inside the strange Quahappy Manor and collect all the 30 coins that are in there.
What he did not expect was that the main door would close after his entrance, forcing him to search for the key.
PLAYING THE GAME
The game has 56 playable rooms.
Dauntless Andy
has to pick the coins that are spreaded in the Manor's rooms. There are 30 of
them.
Andy will find
some fake coins too.
Each real coin increases
the score.
In his way he will find that some doors are closed. He
also has to find the coloured keys that open the respective doors.
But for the main
key becomes visible, Andy must collect all the letters that formed the sentence
"MAIN DOOR KEY".
Each letter
increases the score.
But the task (as
usual) is not easy... He will face some hazards in his way:
- The guardians
of the Manor, with his friends faces, spreaded for almost all the rooms;
- The skulls
that patrolling the rooms;
- The spirit of
Quahappy Manor, that can become invisible for a while;
- The deadly
presses;
- The deadly
spikes;
- The electric
beams;
Touching all of the above takes Andy's a life.
In the bottom of the game screen we can see:
- The lives
remaining (white) and taken (red);
- A space where
messages are written;
- The number of
coins collected;
- The letters
collected;
- The score;
- The keys
collected.
The player starts with 9 lives.
And, of course... Losing all 9 lives means GAME OVER.
