Oh my.  Psyche is incredible.  Wow.  I love the extra blocks that move around - Nice touch!  It's a wonderful game. :D

Slide is nice too, but it's a little lacking in the story department. ;D

Puzzle is cool, if you're into that kind of a game. :)

The only problem I have is that the level editor freezes when I run it.

Yeah, I realized that today during school :x
I've fixed it; am I allowed to release? (Raylin)

If not, then to fix this temporarily, create an appvar that is 11*192+4 bytes large and fill it with zeros. Put 1337 into its first two bytes and 42 into the second. Then archive it; it will now show up on the level editor's list when you run it (and it won't freeze)

Thanks.


Slide: I really liked the tiles, especially how you made the cave walls look. Also, the scrolling was nice, something I was considering adding to psyche but didn't. I agree that it was a bit easy (finished it in about 10 minutes on wabbit :P) but that of course could have been fixed. I also noticed a weird bug where when sliding to the right, a black rectangle would flash on the left side of the screen :x Also, the custom font looked awesome :) (shame you couldn't get the chance to do more with it :( )

i just managed to get slide to work (worked in doors but not as no-stub).

Huh.  That's peculiar.  Maybe it's because the file size was verging a bit too high.  Does anybody know what the executable file size limit is for asm programs?

Yah, that black rectangle thing was because I was a little too zealous in trying to optimize my tilemapper and didn't think my code thoughly enough. 
The custom font might have actually been a bad idea.  It takes up way too much memory :P

My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

I believe it's 8192 bytes for a nostub program and 8811 bytes for a shell program.
This is executable code only, although I believe if you try to run a nostub program from the homescreen who's overall size (code + data) is above 8192, the TI-OS won't let you run it. However, I believe a  Homerun hook, like in DCS7 or CalcUtil circumvents this issue.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Oh.  That would be why.  My program is about 8200 bytes, and I didn't think to check it with all hooks completely disabled.

I don't have time to write a big review like last time, but I voted for Squidgetx. Here are the pros and cons of each game imho:

-Squidgetx:

Pros: Great graphics and reasonable difficulty. My favorite puzzle of all
Cons: Transition between levels takes too long. The ability to skip the text or make it instantly appear by pressing a key would be nice.

-Michael_Lee
Pros: Same as Squidgetx, although a bit easier and with no storyline (sort-of)
Cons: Grayscale flickers extremely badly when moving. I like the entry almost as much as Squidgetx, but that part made me choose Squidgetx's over yours, unfortunately :(

-Happybobjr
Pros: Interesting story
Cons: I never could figure out what to do. No key except ON were responding. I gave up after trying all of them. Some instructions would have been nice.
