Evoke Hauptmeister

Evoke Hauptmeister is the game that made first place in the game dev competition at Evoke 2024. It is a variant of Paperboy. You play a boy riding a bicycle. Instead of throwing newspapers, you have to take photos of cars parked in the wrong place.

The game features three levels of difficulty, but already the lowest level is quite hard. In fact I learned more about this game by watching the gameplay video at YouTube.

Both the graphics and the music (composed by well-known demoscene musician Skyrunner) are very good considering that the entire game is in the style of the 16-bit era.

The game can be downloaded for free at: https://justepyx.itch.io/hauptmeister

Minesweeper 2024

This year's Evoke party has brought us several new games, including a 4k remake of Minesweeper. You probably know Minesweeper, it is all about finding blocks on the screen where no bomb is placed. If you hit a bomb you lose. The objective is to clear the screen. This implementation is for Windows and the executable is only 4096 bytes, although it contains good music (even if it is very simple) and decent graphics. A true masterpiece!

Ghostbusters and the Secret of Monkey Island

On the occasion of the 30-year anniversary of The Secret of Monkey Island, Daniele Spadoni released this fangame. You play either Guybrush or one of the Ghostbusters. The actual game is quite similar to the original game, except that the controls are different, and also features many graphics known from it or the sequel. The game was made with Adventure Game Studio, which is an easy way to create an adventure game. Personally, I'm amazed at how well the images of the Ghostbusters have been integrated in the game. Their style looks the same as the style in which Guybrush has been drawn. Check out a "let's play" video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpv4KveMrF0 Adok
