|  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.

 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".

 Thanks to the deadline extension, the game programming compo is still receiving entries: the 13th in order is Rush! by AnyStone! Rush is a tower defense game, (as far as we're aware) it's the first one on Commodore Plus/4. It's a real time strategy game, where you must defend your kingdom from trolls, orcs and cyclopes by placing towers and upgrading them. Hordes of enemies are trying to get through your defences, if three of them make it, you fail. Earn stars for each successfully completed level, and use the stars to purchase further upgrades.

| | Emotional Iconic Reactions! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-04-01 |
 Ah, emotional icons, or emoticons (or emotis for short)!... Bright, colorful images that bring joy to us all. The world's first emotis were of course featured in the classic 1984 Commodore 16 game Exorcist, invented by Grigory Duddlovich. The game's happy protagonist, Smiley, shines up the place, while the evil monsters (Frownies) are spreading woe. The rest, as they say, is history - from the breakthrough success of this humble game, emotis are everywhere nowadays, from single-ply toilet paper to accountant hats.
Why mention them now? Well, today we're introducing a wonderful new feature on our forum: react with emotis! Oftentimes, when an enthusiastic programmer releases a game after months of hard work, clicking the "[ Reply ]" button and writing "Heh, neat geam" is just too much work. It's 2025 after all, nobody reads or writes anymore. Suffer and toil no more: forum users can now react with two clicks of the mouse. "But Csabo, you handsome genius, won't I be overwhelmed by the thousands of available emotis?" Worry not, dear fictional question-asker, as we've thought of this; you will find only the absolutely essential ones.
We remain technology innovators with this internet-first feature on Plus/4 World. Any similar features on other, uglier websites are only a figment of your imagination. Enjoy! |

| | "...And Old Haegar Began To Narrate The Tale" | | Posted by Luca on 2025-03-30 |
 "There are many stories to tell about a world created from fantasy and magic. This is one of many. A small kingdom in this world, whose name has long been forgotten, has been in chaos since the last king died. A dark power has spread causing sinister creatures and figures to emerge. You, a young hero, do not want to accept this and want to restore the order. Can you do it?".
Well... No.
We're kidding guys! Come on, why so serious? Of course we're ready to fight, explore and gamble, playing The Tale, the brand new Synergy labeled RPG! Haegar makes his full-fledged entry in the BASIC category of the Commodore Plus/4 játékfejlesztői verseny, the Plus/4 GameDev competition, leaving its mark in the latest hours available to accept the latest games.
Explore the Kingdom, listen to the stories of its inhabitants, solve pub brawls, catch significant chatting, free caged spirits, get lost among mountains, fight in the deeper caves, and much more, in this classic role-playing game, also featuring large PETSCII graphics shown during the topical moments of the story flow.
Will it be the very last entry in the compo, or should we expect for new challengers? Oh well, this is another fairy tale to tell. Meanwhile, get into this tale, which is... The Tale! |

| | Gravity Boy! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-03-25 |
 The game programming competition is heating up: the 11th entry is here! LBM is back once with his second game in the "modern ages" (after the awesome Mad Pod Race). Gravity Boy is a unique flip-screen action game. It was first developed for the Homelab 3 computer.
The game starts with a cinematic intro, which tells the story of the protagonist. After your spaceship breaks down, only gravity controls are working. Your task is to navigate the space station, collect parts, and deliver them to the engine room to fix your ship. You can "switch" the gravity in any direction, which will (naturally) cause you to fall that way. Be sure to avoid the spikes and the various robots haunting the rooms. There's no "lives", you can try as many times as you like, but the clock is ticking! Can you make it out?
It's a stylish, polished game featuring graphics from Jeva and music by Csabo. There's also a small time-waster puzzle game from Csabo called Binary Sudoku.
Be sure to check it out! |
