Welcome to the world of XScape. A modern remake of a classic retro puzzle game from the latter days of 8 bit computing. Lovingly crafted by the original author and including all previous game content and more. New gameplay features, modern sound and visuals, 60 additional levels, star ratings, achievements and a built in audio visualiser are just some of the enhancements. Playing the game involves taking control of MAL, a Mechanised Artificial Life-form, whose only purpose in life is to collect special tokens and reach exit portals. A feat which you must help him to accomplish, within the allocated number of moves and time limit. MAL can be moved by a swipe in the desired direction, anywhere to the screen or touch surface, or by means of a connected controller. Be aware though, once MAL starts moving, he won’t stop again until he either reaches a wall or hits an obstacle. Levels may have multiple paths to completion, with certain ways being either faster or more rewarding in terms of score. Just remember, only the special tokens are required to activate the exit portal. Full gameplay instructions are provided on device from the title screen menu. Features • All 30 levels from the original 8 bit game • 60 New and puzzling levels • 3 Unique worlds, each with their own look and feel • 17 Groovy backgrounds • 35 Achievements for in game tasks • 3 Level star rating system • 19 Tracks of upbeat and thematic music spanning over 40 minutes • Full Game Center integration with leaderboards and achievements • Bluetooth game controller support • Saving of progress and achievements between devices (can be disabled) • Music visualiser with unlockable tracks • Retro puzzle gameplay with modern sound and visuals XScape is a true homage to retro gaming and the retro gamer. If you ever enjoyed playing video games, puzzle games or indie games from the 1980s or 1990s 8 bit and 16 bit era, then you will love playing XScape. Too often, music is an overlooked part of the free games or casual games experience, but with XScape I set out from the beginning to place music right at the heart of the game. Every world features its own unique collection of soundtracks, all of which can be unlocked and played through the built in music visualiser, available from the Extras menu. As a one man indie game developer, I welcome all feedback and suggestions, and I will try to implement changes whenever beneficial. In between working on new levels, I typically update the game at least once per month.

You find yourself and your good friend Ami on a desert island with nothing but the shirt on your back and a deserted hut. The coconuts are ripe and are falling from the trees. Some coconuts are dry and easy to carry, some coconuts are under the rain cloud and are wet and more difficult to carry. Its a race between you and Ami to see who can collect the most coconuts. You'll need speed and strategy if you want to collect more coconuts than Ami. The fish are hiding in the fishing village. Your fish tank is empty. It seems like finding fish and filling your tank is the next game to play. There are points of interest on this island / village paradise. It's time to spend a bit of time taking pictures and posting them on the billboard. Move the masks on the Tiki Totems to create matching sets. Every face is a happy face and yours will be too. You can take a trip on a rafting adventure. Collect the stamps for your passport. You can play either one player against the computer or two player using a split screen (the second player takes control of Ami). If you have one or two gamepad controllers connected via USB or paired via bluetooth the game will recognize the controller(s) and you can control the player using the gamepad.
