Well, its a great programming effort, and slightly different from most of these type of games. I enjoy it, even though it kind of frustrating. The game I wrote was a Minefield type game with points, and not just rounds cleared. I wrote it in AMOS ๐
Just need to find a way to transfer it from Amiga to the PC.

Unfortunately, my memories of that period (1986/87) are now very fuzzy. I lost all the source code of the game and even the floppy disks on which I had recorded it. I also lost the link with the main protagonists of the infomedia (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infomedia) adventure which published several games on Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and PC. The best known of these games is probably Explora/Time Run (international title: Chrono Quest).
I had collaborated to the Floppy series (a digital newspaper on diskettes) at the beginning of the infomedia adventure. I worked with Jean-Marc Cazalé (the main programmer) (https://www.oldies-but-goodies.fr/index.php?page=personnalite&id=2) for a long time, but I've now lost sight of all the actors, some of whom have even disappeared tragically.
Getting back to Nibbly, the game was not really sold, but rather distributed (with floppy the newspaper?) as a know-how demonstrator.
I seem to have coded it in Basic/Assembler 68000 and maybe in C on Amiga. I am also responsible for the graphics and part of the level design, other people collaborated on the level design. I had also coded tools for the graphic design (blocks, sprites, etc...) and the level design (mazes).
And thank you for playing.

Congrats on writing this game, much better than the one game I wrote for the Amiga :-)
May I ask, did you add the energy bar later on, or was that planned from the start? Kind of gives the game its uniqueness :-)

There are more players today than when it was released.
Not so bad 35 years later!

Larquey wrote this one when he was young. Don't be too harsh judging it, lol.

Emulation checked, game checked, gameplay checked, score checked.
That looked REALLY hard from the start, then I remembered I was watching the video on double speed ๐.
Voting yes.

I know this is cruel considering I don't even complete Level 9, and it seems you don't enjoy the game so much.
I simply can't do that Level 9 under emulation. I've been to Level 11 on real hardware. One day I will :-)
Think about that this game have 60 levels of this insanity LOL
