[Beta] Timeloop (Atari Lynx)
🕑 Added 2020-07-31 22:52:05 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
I wasn't sure I could enter this year Atari Lynx Coding Competition hosted by AtariGamer.com, but I finally found some time to create a (very) little game: Timeloop. I was inspired by the competition theme, "Future", to create a fun game where you play future soccer against your past self(s)!
You control a blue robot who have to push the green ball into the goal to score points. Move with D-Pad and press A or B button to Dash. Sounds simple? Well there is a catch: the whole game plays inside an endlessly repeating timeloop!
Every 6 seconds, the timeloop will reset the game. Your previous avatar will turn red, and it will move exactly like you did during the previous timeloop. You will play as another robot, always in blue. Up to 8 robots can play at the same time: your current avatar, and 7 of your previous incarnations. So, in this game you'll face the ultimate opponent: yourself!
There is an increasing "score limit" to reach on each timeloop to be able to continue the game. It starts easy, but quickly become challenging. By-the-way, my current best score is 40 points. Can you do better?
This is a game for the ATARI LYNX handheld console. You can download the ROM files in .LNX (emulator) and .LYX (flashcart) formats attached to this post.
As usual, to thank you for your support you are the first ones to be able to play this game. You'll find the first beta version of the game attached to this post. The Atari LYNX rom files are in .LNX (emulator) and .LYX (flashcart) formats.
As for now I have been the only people to play it, I honestly have no idea whether this game is actually fun or not. But there is about 14 days before the competition deadline, so feel free to give me any feedback on the game!
Thanks in advance, and have fun! :)

You are the first one to play it besides myself, so I hope the game turn out intelligible and fun in the end ;)
I think I'll have more of an opinion after I get used to the concept!
Oh, my brain hurts! (but in a good way?)
