Batty Builders

Author's words:

"A remake of the Atari eight-bit computer game of the same name, originally created by M. D. Caballero in 1983. This remake includes the original graphics, sounds and game concept, but I have improved the dice rolling and barrel rolling gameplay mechanics."

The object of the game is to build a wall of falling dice, but this is not easy, as the dice fall in a random fashion, so if you spend too much time waiting for a suitable die, you may find that you miss a certain type later on. What's more, if there isn't a single die left on the strip and the wall isn't built, the game is over no matter how many lives you have left.

So the game is played as follows; a die starts falling from the belt, you run under it and raise your hands to catch it. If you catch the die with only one hand, the die will slip and you will lose a life. You need to catch the dice with both hands. If you hold a die, no more will fall until you roll it on a spaced wall, where the die will catch itself and align itself if there is an empty space. Otherwise, it will start falling down again, but you must not catch it again on this second fall or you will lose a life."
