Skattabugs is a fast paced shoot them up for the C64, Vic20 or Spectrum.
Eliminate the bugs before they capture all your hearts. As each level progresses, the bugs become faster. If you win, you progress to the next level.
Avoid the bombs, if you get hit, you loose half of your hearts. Each bug scores 10 points on level 1, 20 on level two, and so on.
Hints: It is better to eliminate the lower bugs first, and try to protect the lower hearts, they are easier to defend. At least one bug is always on the move, usually the topmost one.
In the title screen, you can select different game modes by hitting the M key. These modes are:
+1=SLOW
+2=FAST (Double speed)
+4=NO BOMBS
+8=NO SOUND
For example, for a fast game with no sound, select 10.
Skattabugz is a working example for my "Very Tiny Development Layer" (VTDL) portable library. This is a library specifically designed to be efficient/fast with very small target systems.
For more details, see "vtdl.txt" in the tdl folder.
