Welcome to Plus/4 World! |  Mazy2: It's Mazy Time Again! | | Posted by Luca on 2025-05-20 |
 It's Inufuto's time again! But this time, we're talking about his first own sophomore: Inufuto pushes on a game design which comes from his very heydays.
After Mazy, now we have Mazy2. The author jumps back to an old game by him, in order to have a point of view, from where to compare how his own tools have evolvend since. The player still have to collect knives, kill foes and reach the exit, but the differences between the brand new version and the one dated 2021 are quite evident: Mazy2 shows multicolor sprites, straight PAL/NTSC full compatibility, a better music driver, optimized commands, and more.
This 19th game by Inufuto is renowned to aim to the highest number of versions ever, thank to the versatility of the Cate, his own programming language, which is covering at the moment 14 different CPU ilks, surpassing the already impressive number of 111 versions reached with Myeien.
But hey! Enough of the numbers! We are players, where there is a simple plot, we see a land of challenge. Hance: let's challenge, retro gamers! |

| | Kye! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-04-18 |
 After the very popular Stunt Car Racer, cobbpg is back with his second conversion: Kye! The original game is by Colin Garbutt from 1992, which the author first ported to C=64, and now to Plus/4 as well.
The goal of the game is simple: move around with the green circle thing and collect all the diamonds. It's up to you to discover the rules! The game is controlled with the joystick in port 2 exclusively; there's no keyboard input.
Most notably, the music is done using a new custom music player, read the details on GitHub. Check it out! |

| | City Grill! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-04-07 |
 Big surprise: another just-before-the-deadline game (the 15th!) made it to the game programming compo! Newcomers BadCode64 and CopAss bring you City Grill! The name will be familiar to Hungarians: it was a fast-food restaurant chain that operated in Hungary from '84 to '94.
In the game, you assemble hamburgers or combos as quickly as possible. You can see the order on the right, and you must assemble it piece-by-piece by pressing the button for the correct ingredients. In career mode, you start with simple burgers, and go from city to city, slowly increasing the complexity. In time mode, you create random orders (using all possible ingredients), and gain extra money and time for successfully completed orders.

| | TileSlip! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-04-06 |
 István Bozsik returns to our platform after 36 years with TileSlip, a logic game originally for DOS in 1995. It's the 14th entry to the programming compo.
Players must slide colored stones on a 16x16 board to match a target shape, navigating around immovable walls. 18 puzzles are waiting for you! The game displays the shortest possible solution while allowing players to explore their own... No pressure! The intro features a charming rendition of Yann Tiersen’s "Comptine d'un autre été".
