This game was really an experiment in software enginnering.
After writing my first J2ME game (Brickade),
I wanted to see how hard it was to re-use the code from my first game but still do a completely
different game. I eventually ended up writing a complete application library for my apps, which
was - funny enough - not used in this game :(
In any case, the game is actually playable, you might even enjoy it ;)
The game
Bixi is a puzzle game based on the Biniax game from the ZX Spectrum and Amiga time.
The game is your generic clear-falling-blocks type of game:
The objective is to clean falling blocks in a 5×7 map.
Each block has two colors, and the player has one color (each color is also associated with a shape, in case you are colorblind or have a monochrome display)
A brick can be cleared by the player if one of its colors matches the player color
When the brick is cleared, the player color will change to the other color in that brick
The game is over when the player falls off the board
There are some power-ups that allow you to clear a row, column or the entire board or to change color
This is another simple game that is easy to pick up and play. Give it a try, you might like it
