Description
Shootagem is a lightgun based puzzle game for the Sega Master System.
Shooting a gem will drop the gems above it down. By shooting out gems, match 3 or more gems in a row or column to score! Clearing multiple sets of gems in quick succession will add to your combo which will increase the points scored.
The timer is ticking down and it's game over when it hits zero. Clearing rows and columns will add time to the timer and you'll get more time added for longer rows of gems. After clearing enough lines, more and more worthless rocks will start to enter the play area which you'll have to clear them out by shooting them.
The game features dual PSG/FM music if you have an FM Sound Unit.
Controls:
- The game expects the light phaser to be in controller port 1
- Aim at gems and shoot with the fire button.
- You can reload by shooting the status bar, or by shooting offscreen.
- While in-game you can open and close the calibration screen by pressing the Pause button.
Software used (if you're interested):
- Written in assembly and compiled with WLA DX
- Tested and debugged using the superb Emulicious
- (Also tested on Meka and Genesis Plus GX in RetroArch, as well as on SMS2 and Mega Drive using Everdrives)
- Graphics drawn in Aseprite and converted with BMP2Tile
- Gameplay tilemap put together in Tilemap Studio
- Music and sound effects written in Furnace
This is my first SMS game and it was definitely a learning experience, I much appreciated the SMS Power documentation! Thanks to Richard for doing some testing!
