Hey, that's me!

I made this as a learning experience for C language. That's a well needed break from Go Penguin development.

There's a video too:

Following the link to your site gives a 'Server Not Found' error.

Not bad btw! Could do with some more sound (obviously Wink)

Thanks, indeed I think it's good for a 16Kb ROM (although there is room for some improvement), and has a good performance for a C game.

That was a good experience, better than Asm on some aspects, worst on others, as expected.

I'm particularly happy with the results achieved by the visual effects, such as the countdown, the "Hit" and "Combo" blinking sprites, the fadeout on initial credits, etc.

So far my record is a little over 500 blocks.

Actually I went a little far than this, but that is my last screenshot.

This game is really fun! It takes a special puzzle to hold my interest without music, and this qualifies. I think this game also somewhat compensates the users of MSX1 for the old official Columns being only MSX2 and above
