Hi Alex, this looks intriguing, I would like to try, but as I do not have access to my GP2X now.. would a windows build be possible, please?

Sure thing, get it here: artraid.com/alex/pc-games/

PS: Gp2X archive was not updated yet, wait until the file there is newer than 01/01/2009 or try the PC version before passing judgement

Will try this as soon as I have internet again. I enjoyed the pre-release a lot..

 

[Kojote]

Looks a nice game, will play it when I get around to it.

*nudge* any chance you could throw it online somewhere else for the time being, waiting for the archives to get updated is driving me insane

Haha, slipped my mind. Here you go:

My PC is down at the moment so I can't install it on my GP2X. Is the control scheme updated or changed? I downloaded the old version and found it very difficult to use. I originally requested this game and gave an example from a website with a java version that is easy to use. Anyway, thanks for updating it. I hope the control is easier now, God knows the game is hard enough as it is

My computer is too slow for Java, so I didn`t get a chance to try that game, my only reference was the Wikipedia article. You should have mentioned the controls being difficult, I hope you`ll find this version an improvement. The button controls are all written at the bottom of the screen, and going through and removing already placed pieces is better.

I honestly found this a fairly awkward game to make friendly with button controls. I`ll check out the Java version tomorrow, now I`m curious to see how it is.

Great little mind testing game. Need to blow off the dust from my brain.

The new file was approved, http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,25,2716

I noticed a lot of people downloaded the old version during this time, sorry about that. Might want to try this one instead

 

[Sphinxter]

Keeping the gp2x alive, good job.

Hey, Alex, have you ever played in "panik gastrik"? The play-idea is similiar but the graphics hmm.. just take a look. Maybe we could modify pentominos to look like this ? [ serious ]
I love that hardcore graphics

Who want to port this up?

BTW. Pentominos is really awesome, as most of your games , Alex

 

[notaz]

Yup, keep it up!

 

[Manjuu]

Nice to see improvements and fixes.

However, it still gets tedious removing a bunch of pieces, especially if they are located on right side of the puzzle; it would require pressing the right direction a lot. If a move wrap is possible, this would make it easier.

Aside from that, it's pretty good.

Thanks for the game.
