A Bug's Lynx
EJagfest 2018 Demo version
by Fadest

History
-------
A bug's Lynx was first coded during the AC 2k9 speed coding contest.
The goal was to make a Ladybug (think of Pacman with rotating doors...) in 24 hours (...and lot of aspirine).
The game won the contest, was playable and quite enjoyable,b ut of course it still had some limitations :
 - dumb AI for bugs,
 - real bugs (not the one that try to catch you),
 - only one level hardcoded, the same than original Ladybug.
Work started in order to make a full version of the game but has been put on ice for years once the game surfaced for sale on Ebay.

But once in a while I got mails from people asking for a new versions...

So 9 years after, here is a new version of the game with many improvements over the first one :
 - unique levels, with an Excel tool to create new ones (quite) easily,
 - new features, like bush (you can hide under, bugs cannot enter), web (will slow you but has no effect on bugs) and ice (no effect on you bug bugs slide on ice and of course go faster than you, but they cannot change direction), and of course, rotating doors are still there,
 - improved collision detection with bugs (I hope it is better in fact, need more testing),
 - less dumb bugs, but they are still blind and won't follow you (need improvement),
 - switch music from ABC Music to Chipper,
 - some minor changes in graphics.
But of course, there are still some bugs or lacks :
 - no music just because I do not have a Chipper music I can use (the only one I have are for another game) but who really cares about music in fact ;)
 - there is only 15 levels and last one cannot be finished (this is a special eJagfest tribute) just because it would crash the Lynx
 - some detection of collision with walls are still pretty strange to remain polite,
 - ...

An indev option is stille here :
 - press Option 1 in order to skip level and go to next level (don't do this on level 15, I don't know what would happen to your Lynx, but Handy make a nice crash).

As usual, you can play this game on Handy or on a real Lynx via a flashcard.

--- NO PERMISSION IS GRANTED TO RESELL THIS ROM ---
(unless you want to wait 9 years for another version)

Have Fun
