GOTHEM - Game Of THE Month / Re: October 2025 - Ditris
« Last post by intangybles on October 31, 2025, 09:38:39 pm »
Well done mate!  Best I could manage was 1098 and 6 lines.  Yep sure is fast.  At first I thought I had to line up colours but there are a lot of variation, then I realised you can line up any colour to remove a row.. oh well, hope to put more time in next month.

No cheats or passwords played on my A1200

Thank you! Wow! Amazed myself! I was sure that would be the worst score ever!

Going to give this a bash on my new "toy". I just added the Amiga core to it!

Well.. its fast.. or is it just me! Do much better with Tetris normally...  Joystick type controls.. not good for me in this case!

All done as "the green" instructions!

Best is: 2321 (21 Lines)..

Level design update:

In his latest post on the campaign page, the developer informs us that the first pass of level design has been finished.  The second pass is now underway, which focuses on refining each level’s layout, enemy placement, and gameplay flow to near-final quality.  At the current pace, this second pass should be finished around mid-December 2025.

After the second pass, the third pass work will begin, which involves integrating all final graphics for levels, characters, menus, and other visual elements.  And then the final pass is the optimization and polish phase, to ensure the game runs smoothly and meets the high standards being aimed for.  The developer promises to keep backers fully informed of all progress as it happens.

The game has 42 levels, comprised of:

- 35 regular levels

- 5 boss levels

- 2 bonus levels


Graphics update:

The artists have begun working on background animations to liven up the levels.  They're also remastering the special effects such as blood, explosions, and impact visuals to ensure they look their best - i.e. smoother motion and more animation frames.  The developer is sparing no expense in giving these elements the attention they deserve.


Spread the word!

Tell your friends about Shadow Gangs Zero.  The more support the campaign receives, the better the final product:

GOTHEM - Game Of THE Month / October 2025 - Ditris

Game of the Month for October 2025: Ditris

Picked from a random selection from the fantastic Amiga Game Selector!

Ditris is a straight Tetris variant without gameplay additions besides a split-screen multiplayer mode. Differently shaped blocks fall from the top of the screen and can be turned and moved left and right on the way to the bottom. The goal is to create full horizontal lines which vaporize after completion: more lines at once reward more points for the high score. The next block is shown in a preview screen and the game is over when a block can't fall far enough to leave the top of the screen.

Information:
  • Amiga Hardware: OCS
  • Relase Year: 1990
  • Disks: 1
  • WHDLoad: Yes
  • Players: 1 or 2
  • Publisher: Magic Soft
  • Developer:Thomas Münch

Links to game information:

Please refer to the 'Game of the Month Rules and Participation' post for information on how to participate!  Good Luck!

* To qualify: Play single player, on any real Amiga or equivalent emulator.  The winner will be the player with the best score.

As per the GOTHEM rules, please confirm the qualification rules in green above, the machine/emulator you used, your score, screenshot/photo with score shown, and confirm you have not used cheats or passwords.  If the game does not keep score, please let us know where you got up to (without spoilers) with a brief review of your time with the game.  Also state any additional qualification rules stated above, such as playing on a certain mode with certain rules, just so we have a better feeling that you are playing fairly!
