unfinished Game with Level Editor

written in ACTION!

Game Idea:#

Catapill is Sokoban on steroids: you drive the small catepill around in a huge warehouse and must complete missions

There are several good in the warehouse, and rules that must be observed:

  • containers with base (L) and Acid (S) should never be stored side-by-side, else.....
  • containers including magnetics (positive and negative available) should never stored next to iron boxes, else they stick together
  • some containers contain explosives
  • some contain hidden time-bombs, that are acitivated once the container is moved
  • the catapill needs to refill gas from time to time
  • the catapill can be damaged, so it is running slower, or can only turn in one direction
  • there was also the idea to include some ideas from the boardgame "roborally" in this game

How to use#

boot attached Disk, on the DOS prompt, start "CTG2.COM" for a shortly playable version with Splash-Screen, or first load "CATAPILL.COM" and then "C.COM" for the latest binary of the game. start "CEDIT.COM" for the Level Editor.
