Dominetris
(2005)
Story
Arrange the
dominoes as they tumble
from the sky so that matching digits are adjacent, either horizontally
or vertically, to each other. Align the same number of digits
as the
digit itself to make those dominoes disappear.
Reviews
Retro Gamer -
"Dominetris
is a rather original and interesting
take on Tetris. The controls are simple, and play is
thoughtful and
sometimes fraught" - 79%
Notes
Written in 2005
to see if I could get back into writing Z80-assembler
Spectrum games (after a lot of hassling by a friend!) this is a novel
take on the Tetris theme where, rather than completing lines of block,
you have to match digits on dominoes - 2 twos, 3 threes, 4 fours and so
on - to make them disappear.
Unlike Stranded,
which was written on an actual Spectrum, Dominetris
was the first game written on a PC using freeware programs such as
Crimson Editor, Pasmo, and Spin before finally being tested on my
original 48K Spectrum (from 1983) and a recently purchased grey +2
machine.
Originally
intended for the Cronosoft "Cassette 50" charity compilation
it never had a loading screen, in order to pack as many games as
possible on the tape. However an accomplished loading-screen
artist,
de Vandemar Croup, produced a loading screen for it, and it is that
screen which is now included with the game. |
