Astatin
 

Astatin a game ported over from the amiga

http://www.lemonamiga.com/?mainurl=h...hp%3Fid%3D1547

I have the dos version

but after playing/recording it, I wonder if it is even abandonia worthy.
or in other words, who is even interested in this puzzle game q:

Is more important to know if it is abandoned or no. MAybe it's crap, may not. But if it is abandoned, I think Abandonia has a place for it. Not only different people have different tastes, but Abandonia's ideal is to preserve abandoned games. I don't think that the quality (or lack of it) can determinate if it should be preserved or not

We had in the past a policy of prioritizing the uploading of high-quality games. This is not the case today. We accept every game without discrimination.

I actually want to specify some things first. In order to ease and organize the process of offering, in this forum there is one thread per user (this means we'll merge your threads). In that thread you can offer all the games you want to and we'll evaluate them, approve or disapprove them. Next is the actual contributing. The reviews, screens and archives are all uploaded on the FTP by the user himself. I'll send you a PM that will show you how. You write the review using a text editor like notepad or MSWord and upload it the same way as the archive. Screens are uploaded preferably in a zipped archive also.

Anyways Astatin is [APPROVED]

another thing, when you take screenshots, simply press CTRL+F5 in dosbox while playing the game. then your screenshots will appear in capture directory

yay:clap:, another thing, because I can't delete, can someone delete the ASTATIN FILE?
not the archive since that one is the actual game...

_r.u.s.s. thanks :3

a problem

I made a video about this game, and I was offering it but reviewing this game is really hard for me, and I will try to explain why

to explain this game I will need to use pictures
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...atin_009-1.png

the game itself is a puzzle game.
now this is the first level.
this might look weird but a simple explanation and you are all set.
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...atin/12345.jpg

the numbers indicate what their value are.
so replace the symbols with numbers and it becomes a whole lot easier.
take the brown symbol which means 1 which means it is the newest ting that has been put there.
unlike the blue symbol next to it which has a value of 2.
it became blue because another symbol got next to it within a 1 square range (+).
it would not have changed if it got diagonally to the older symbol that was already there.
now the game is to get the exact same screen as the right one.
by clicking on the left screen you get a symbol, if you click it again it disappears.
if you click next to it, the symbol that was already existing next to it gets a value+1 making it change symbol.

it’s not too hard when you understand it, in fact you could basically solve a lot because there’s a patron to it.
when you know this, it’s easy.
however there’s a problem.

Now I thought it was a bug until the game actually requested me to put an alone standing symbol with a value of 2.
this is something that makes the game almost impossible.
I know how to put such a symbol, but as you can see it takes 4 clicks.

this alone is very time consuming, the only way I can beat levels is to know what to do, the thinking time is just ridiculously short in comparison to the levels I beat before.
this is still basic but later on it only gets harder and you get less time to solve it.
now that I have 2 ways of psychics I’m confused and I don’t know how to solve it.
should I use this bug to complete the level, is it required for me to use it?
the bug itself is very confusing, while it’s not really a bug because it was programmed that way, I see it as a bug because there’s no logical explanation to how it’s psychics are…
at this point , it’s too hard for me, I can’t beat the game, too complicated for the wrong reasons.
the game doesn’t even give me enough time to solve it.
the only way you will beat this game is if you studied it’s psychics, figure out the bug thoroughly make a screenshot,…print it out, change the symbols into numbers.
solve the puzzle, make a patron of how you should click and then go play that level click as fast as you can because the time limit will be short.
this wouldn't be such a problem with dosbox having the option to lower cycles but damn!, not even with lowered cycles could I get to complete this game.
you have to take a screenshot of the level, print it out, change the symbols into numbers ,then , solve it THEN memorize it how to click and get back to that level and pray that you are done with the puzzle in time.

About the game ASTATIN

There is no way to complete the game...well atleast not the logical way.
The game is bugged and I think it's a good idea to delete it from my files.
Though maybe it's because the files I have from the game aren't good.
or it's actually still abandonia worthy xD?
It could be that there's a version out there that is actually good.

anyways I could make a review of it and give dosbox shots, but is this al useless without the actual game or still welcome for if you guys find the better version?
that you guys use the bugged version and replace it once you get the better version?
