Shock Lobster

Un gioco arcade di Dave VanEe (tbsp), realizzato per la Game Boy Competition 2021. Sei un umile astice dotato di poteri magici: parti con poche abilità per evitare gli ostacoli e fare danni, poi spendi le perle raccolte per sbloccare altre abilità, potenziamenti e oggetti. SELECT nella schermata di stato mostra i dettagli di ogni abilità.

Comandi

• Touch: croce direzionale a sinistra, A e B a destra (puoi far scivolare il pollice dall'uno all'altro), SELECT in basso a sinistra, START in basso a destra. Più dita insieme funzionano.
• Gamepad USB o Bluetooth: croce o levetta sinistra; A e Y = A; B e X = B; Start; Back/View = Select.
• Tastiera USB: frecce o WASD; Spazio/X/Invio = A; Z/C/Backspace = B; P o Tab = Start; Esc = Select.
• MENU (in alto a sinistra), i dorsali L/R o il tasto Guide del gamepad mettono in pausa.

Nel gioco

Schermata dell'equipaggiamento: la croce seleziona, A conferma/sblocca/attiva, B torna indietro, SELECT mostra i dettagli, START inizia. In battaglia: la croce sceglie la coppia di pulsanti attiva, A/B usano le abilità corrispondenti, START mette in pausa.

Il menu di pausa

Continua, Ricomincia (spegne e riaccende la console), Zoom 4x o 3x (più piccolo, lascia più spazio ai comandi), Colori (verde, grigio, Pocket, colori stile Game Boy Color) e Esci chiude il gioco. Zoom e colori restano memorizzati. Il gesto indietro del sistema apre il menu; ripetuto, esce.

Salvataggi

La cartuccia ha la batteria: i dati salvati restano sul dispositivo tra una partita e l'altra.

Audio

Il suono è emulato (i quattro canali del Game Boy). Se un'altra app sta usando l'altoparlante (per esempio Musica), il gioco parte muto e riprova ogni pochi secondi.

Shock Lobster

An arcade game by Dave VanEe (tbsp), made for the Game Boy Competition 2021. Venture forth as a lowly lobster imbued with magical powers: start with a handful of skills to avoid the oncoming obstacles and deal damage, and spend the pearls you collect to unlock more skills, upgrades and items. Press SELECT on the status screen for details on every skill.

Controls

• Touch: D-pad on the left, A and B on the right (you can slide your thumb from one to the other), SELECT bottom left, START bottom right. Several fingers at once work.
• USB or Bluetooth gamepad: D-pad or left stick; A and Y = A; B and X = B; Start; Back/View = Select.
• USB keyboard: arrows or WASD; Space/X/Enter = A; Z/C/Backspace = B; P or Tab = Start; Esc = Select.
• MENU (top left), the L/R shoulder buttons or the pad's Guide button pause the game.

In the game

Loadout screen: D-pad selects, A confirms/unlocks/toggles, B goes back, SELECT shows details, START starts. In battle: the D-pad selects the active button pair, A/B use the matching skills, START pauses.

The pause menu

Resume, Reset (power-cycles the console), Zoom 4x or 3x (smaller, more room for the controls), Colours (green, grey, Pocket, Game Boy Color style) and Exit closes the game. Zoom and colours are remembered. The system back gesture opens the menu; twice, it exits.

Saves

The cartridge has a battery: its save data stays on the device between sessions.

Sound

Sound is emulated (the Game Boy's four channels). If another app holds the speaker (the Music app, say), the game starts muted and retries every few seconds.
