Game descriptions, controls and screenshots:

Dr. Dan

SpoilerDr. Dan is a a puzzle game inspired by Dr. Mario for the Game Boy.
The objective is to eliminate all the viruses in every level.
You do this by dropping down pills, and if there is a vertical row of 4 or more identical colours, they will disappear.
This is how you eliminate the viruses.

You can choose between different levels.
Every time you go one level higher, the amount of viruses increases by 2.
You can also choose between different speeds.
This affects how fast your pill falls down, and how much score you get.
The higher the speed is, the more score you get, but the game becomes significantly harder.

Controls:
In the intro menu, you can click on the blue arrows to increase or decrease the virus level and speed.
When you're done, click the START button, and the game begins.
- Left/right arrow keys: Move the pill left or right
- Down arrow key: Make the pill fall down faster
- Spacebar: Switch the colours of the pill

Stacker DX

SpoilerStacker DX is a remake of the original Stacker, made by KingofGamesYami, with new graphics and high score support.
The goal of the game is to build the highest tower you can.
You do this by placing the next horizontal slice of the tower at the best time.
If you miss a little, the piece standing out disappears, and the next slice is smaller.
If you miss the tower completely, you lose.

Controls:
- Spacebar: Place the horizontal slice on top of the tower
When you get a game over, you can restart the game by pressing Spacebar.

Bird Hunt

SpoilerBird Hunt is an arcade cabin shooter inspired by Duck Hunt for the NES.
The goal is to shoot as many birds you can, without letting them get away.
If one or more birds get away in a round, you will lose a life.
If you let too many birds get away, then the game is over.

You can see the remaining lives you have at the top left of the screen,
and you can see the amount of bullets you have left at the top right of the screen.
Every round your ammo supply will be replenished.

Controls:
You can shoot them by clicking at them.
If your shot was right, you see a quick flash of a red box and then the bird falls down.
When you go game over, you can restart the game by clicking anywhere on the screen.

I made all of the assets in the standard CC paint.
What makes it look different is the new smaller pixels (actually an extension of the charset first used in CC1.76).
I made my own full-screen buffer and renderer in the first 2 days of the jam so I could draw images and text anywhere and render it to the screen with the new smaller pixels.
It's hardcoded for this program so you can't really use it anywhere else, but you can look at the code and learn from it :)/>

Have a look at the BLittle API by Bomb Bloke - it has the ability to shrink paint images to teletext images, and you can also redirect to it as a buffer and draw regularly on a 2x x 3x bigger screen.

This is a pretty excellent collection. Didn't even know this sort of thing was possible in CC. Might have to get back into making games!

Dr. Dan was my favourite of the collection. Really faithful remake, and looks great with the new graphics. Well done!
