Boys and girls, Pipes is ready to be unleashed on the world.
BUT because of frustrating experiences with Homebrewdevelopment in general this one is going to be different. I know that my programs don't suck, they are not the best of the best but they can be entertaining for at least some hours. Now, I know, everbody is short on money, this is why I'm going to release two versions of this game. A DEMO and a FULL Version, the later one for the price of 1 Euro and probably 10 minutes of your precious time. The 1 Euro will be used entirely for beer as stated in the Beerware License.
[cut]
The DEMO will include the whole game but there will be some drawbacks:
*) after one round the game quits
*) you can only use the default skin (which is ugly) no restrictions on skin usage
*) only one level of difficulty
*) no highscores
*) no musicplayer
Use this Demoversion to see if you could like this game or not. If you do, I ask you for 1 Euro, either per paypal, bank transfer (within EU) or in a letter. This is more of a symbolic price but still, it will take some of your time and I want to see if you consider this game to be worth it. Also, for people that consider this game to be worth not even 1 freaking Euro, are from somewhere out of the EU or just plain lazy I give you that: Take your favorite beer, drink it in my name, remove the label without destroying it and slap it on a postcard of your hometown (or something similar). Sign with your Nickname and email adress and send to me (adress will follow). You will get the code in your mail.
Full version includes
*) unlimited nr of rounds
*) two levels of difficulty
*) unlimited nr of skins
*) highscores
*) online highscores where you get a code which you can enter on a HP to see how you do globally
*) musicplayer (hopefully)
*) all future updates including variable sized boards
This is a test to see if my work is considered to be worth 1 Euro and some minutes of your time.
Installation is simple, download the zip File, extract to your jamvm directory (if you don't have Java installed on your GP2x get it in the archives) and start the gpe file.
There is only one skin included, which is pretty ugly. If you want to have another skins (there is MUCH better lookings ones...) just make a new directory under "skin" like skin2 or skin3 and copy the three files (active.png, inactive.png, cursor.png (take it from skin1)) there. You can switch skins at the Menu using the LEFT and RIGHT shoulder buttons!
