Exciting times, these last few weeks before the MSXdev20 deadline. Entries are dropping in daily, we are stacking up to 12 already. With BlockPuzzle, Belgian MSX veteran David Heremans (aka turbor here on MRC) participates on the sexiest challenge known to MSX kind. MSXdev delivers.
Puzzles, a good way to spend our spare time playing with our MSX computer. Here we have a new one that pretends to be casual but also give a good moments of entertainment. According to its author, BlockPuzzle started as an attempt to create a simple one pixel smooth text scroller on MSX1 but then he got carried away. PuzzleBlock is a 32KB MSX1 game.
It is all about placing blocks in the grid to fill the spaces. Once those pieces are in place, three new random pieces will appear and we must repeat the process. The aim of the game is to reach the highest score by placing pieces in the spots available. Once there’s no movement possible, the game is over.
This game has different levels of difficulty so you can try each one to find the best that fits your skill level. It plays with either keyboard or joystick.
