New stuff compared to the old version


I have now made Numbertron available on Itch.io. I have spent a fair amount of time improving the game after the original release.

Here are the new features that I can remember right now:

  • New Tron-mode. Select two player-mode and turn the clover off to access it.
  • Instructions are now accessible in the main menu.
  • Option to make the clover respawn, which in theory could allow for unlimited play as the numbers get regenerated over and over again. You only get points for the first time it is used.
  • You get points for grabbing the clover now. The more spaces it reclaims, the more points you get.
  • New default keys for player 2 on the MZ-700.
  • New graphical effect for when you get the diamond on the MZ-700 (MZ-80A still uses the old effect, which was not available on the MZ-700).
  • New graphical rewards for when you finish the game with more than 5000 or 10000 points.
  • Sounds have been modified on the MZ-700, to sound more like on the MZ-80s.
  • You can use the arrow keys to navigate the main menu on the MZ-700.
  • General polish on the MZ-700 version.
  • The game now only uses characters which are available on both European and Japanese font ROMs.
  • Game has been compressed. File size is approx. half of what it used to be, so it loads twice as fast on real hardware.

That should be it, I think! Enjoy the game. :)
