Descent - a puzzle game for the entire 8X+ series

Bonjour encore! Recently, I have made a new game in TI-BASIC that is sure to be interesting...

Descent
Our delivery is de(s)cent.™

Descent is a game where you are a worker at a futuristic distribution center. You are remotely controlling each package that goes out, and trying to move it to a delivery truck. The package moves until it hits a wall, so you have to use this mechanic to your advantage!

The unique thing about this game is that this game isn't specific to one model. You can play this on every TI-8X+ calculator model! :48ti83pr:

Cemetech and TICalc downloads are available. If you were one of the first to download it, please update if you haven't! (Also, how many of you would like to see this game translated into French?

)

Looks fun

Reminds me of a game like that (but with less animations and text

) that I made many years ago, for the 83+/84+.
I guess the larger screen is better here, more interesting maps can be made...

Thanks Adriweb!

And actually, because I couldn't find a simple way to make large maps cross-compatible, the CE maps are just the 84+ maps centered on-screen. If this were a different kind of game (or I gave up on cross-compatibility), larger maps would certainly be interesting!

The portability across multiple TI-Z80 & TI-eZ80 models is a nice touch.

That was the first thing I thought of when making this game! Anything to have a wider audience playing (especially people like me, who still have a nostalgic love for the monochrome model :favorite:

)!

J'ai vu la vidéo gameplay sur TI-83 Premium CE et je touve que les lettres sont très séparées et que ça ressemble à du texte tout court c'est un peu mieux sur la 82A mais je préfère les jeux graphiques.
Sinon le fait que ce soit le meme programme pour monochrome et couleur c'est génial
