LOGIpics (Amstrad CPC BASIC 10 Liner)

Logiker 2019-03-30 | A game written in 10 Lines for the Amstrad CPC. LogiPics is a puzzle game with pixels, also known as Nonogramm, Picross or Griddlers. You’ll see a grid, where pixels must be set.

CPCanabalt (Amstrad CPC BASIC 10 Liner)

Logiker 2019-03-30 | A game written in 10 lines of BASIC on an Amstrad CPC. CPCanabalt is a very BASIC Jump & Run (speed runner), even more BASIC than the original Canabalt. You have to jump over holes and obstacles. The playing field gets more and more narrow. As it’s a sibuga (single button game) you just need one button, namely the space bar.

nanoHEXAGON (Amstrad CPC BASIC 10 Liner)

Logiker 2019-03-30 | Written in 10 Lines of BASIC on an Amstrad CPC: nano HEXAGON is like its name suggests inspired by Micro Hexagon, which itself is a reimplementation (a demake) of Super Hexagon. The principle of the game is simple: You are a small point (pixel) that can move either left or right. From outside walls in the formation of a hexagon approach you. Your target is not to hit these walls.
