  • Light Gate : A new RISC OS Game!

    From Amcog@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 6 11:30:02 2024
    We are pleased to announce that Light Gate is available for download
    from the PlingStore:

    http://www.plingstore.org.uk/cgi-bin/plingstore/download.cgi

    and is priced at £14.99

    Light Gate is a game with mixed modes of play including:
    - 2.5D zones
    - Mini-games
    - 3D combat and conversation features
    - Puzzles
    - Arcade action
    and more.

    You have fallen into a strange realm after listing to a haunted audio
    tape! Can you find a way to escape before being absorbed by the grid?


    This is version 1.11 which has improvements since the initial release at
    the RISC OS Wakefield. Including:
    - Many minor bug fixes
    - Improved 3D Fighting with the Guardians:
    o Ash (you) now fight from the bottom of the screen using the mouse
    for side-to-side movement.
    o The energy bolts now shoot from the Guardian's mouth.
    o Difficulty has been adjusted based on extensive play testing.

    - Some additional puzzles have been added to the Paradox and Rubicon zones.

    Thanks to all those who bought copies at the RISC OS Wakefield Show.
    Your support is greatly appreciated and helps to support further game development.

    Please update your copy via the Plingstore using your download code
    which you can enter via "Special Instructions, promo code etc." in the Plingstore app.
