Full version: Arcade game Hydrozone 1.02
Today version 1.02 of David Cruickshank's "Hydrozone" was published (Youtube-Video). In 1994 the game was published as Shareware and is now available for free.
Changes in version 1.02:
- Changed licence from Shareware to Freeware
- Updated documents
- Added a continue from level 4 option if a player dies beyond that point
- Made changes to health. If a player crashes into a few walls one after the other, only the first hit takes the full energy from the player's health bar. Hits after that only take a little
- Changed some of the in-game text
- Hopefully fixed the speedup and slow down problem on accelerated Amiga's ie 030, 040's etc. Some parts of the game were running twice as fast as it should have. (un-tested sorry as I don't own one of these)
- Recompiled code with AmiBlitz3. (Originally programmed with BlitzBasicII1.7)
