01.Nov.2022 Platformer: Ami-Tower
The Polish developer 'Tukinem' (farm simulation "Farmiga") has ported Icy Tower in Blitz Basic 2 to the Amiga. The game principle is to let the main character climb a tower by jumping to different heights.

The levels are created randomly. You can jump over two platforms and then have more points and bonus jumps. After every 50 platforms, the time to the end of the game is restored, so you have to jump up as quickly as possible.

The game requires a standard Amiga 500 with Kick 1.3 and 500 KB. The game is still in development, the end of the game and the game menu (options and highscore) are missing. (dr)
