ROCKS!

Rocks! in floating mode. Ship being chased by pulser and time detonated mine, released by green alien	Rocks! in falling mode. Berzerker has just pulverized a large meteor. Ship recently destroyed the green alien.

DESCRIPTION

During Christmas vacation of 1999, I wrote a game which was inspired by Astrosmash! for the Mattel Intellivision, itself inspired by the classic Atari game "Asteroids". Rocks! has 6 progressively more difficult stages, 4 unique enemies, and two different modes of game play: "floating" in which your ship can move freely about and enemies come from all sides, and "falling" in which you are confined to left-right movement on the ground and enemies come from the top of the screen. This is a good example of my OOP graphics library I had developed in the early 90s, my recently acquired understanding of trigonometry and physics, my high-speed bitmap scaling and rotation routines, and a simple sound effects engine which works on three different sound cards (Adlib, SoundBlaster, and the Gravis Ultrasound).

PLAYING SCREENS

	BARRELS …DK's tantrum has crushed and warped five levels of girders, turning them into a nightmare of ramps and rolling barrels! Jump for your life or grab a hammer and start smashing!
	PIE FACTORY …Treacherous conveyors, leaping flames, and "pies" that look almost good enough to eat… but don't be fooled! These trays of cement are massively dangerous!
	ELEVATORS …Two fast-moving columns of elevators and some nasty fireballs await you. Take the easy way out but be wary of the springs.
	RIVETS …Your only chance to reunite yourself with your loved one! Dismantle the structure by pulling out the support rivets and give the big ape a concussion he won't soon forget!

MORE FEATURES

	Select from 3 playable characters – Mario, Bruno, or Toni – each with different strengths and weaknesses!
	Silky smooth motion and crisp controls… Arcade-action on the Intellivision has never been this good!
	Never before heard digital samples: Hear two distinct "growls", the girl cry for "HELP!"… and more!
	Never before heard musical scores: Title, Game Over, and an alternate "victory" melody!
	Arcade-quality enemy AI and timing… even "control" the barrels, Steve Wiebe-style, just like in King of Kong!
	Two game variations, "USA" and "Japan", each with their own high-score!
