Homebrew Chuckie Egg

[ant512]

Here's a beta of a new homebrew game:

http://simianzombie.com/media/2016/11/10/ChuckieEggDS.zip

It's a remake of Chuckie Egg. But - aha! - this is a remake of the Dragon 32 version, which was always my favorite.

Here's a list of stuff that's incomplete:

- Later levels do not have increased numbers of hens or faster moving hens;
- Hens don’t eat grain;
- The high score table is not functional (it’s just a bitmap);
- There’s no “game over” screen;
- The score/timer/etc display layout and font is all wrong;
- Remaining lives aren’t displayed;
- The font in the title screen scroller is wrong.

Thank you, the green is fantastic...

You could change the screen bottom to black, it will poke less the eyes...

OK, all done:

ChuckieEggDS

Instructions, controls, etc, are included in the readme file in the archive.

If you're interested in other platforms, I've ported it to the Dreamcast and PSP:

ChuckieEggDC
ChuckieEggPSP

The Dreamcast version still has a few issues with sound but nothing that affects the game itself.

If only there was an update for this game about egg hunting in time for egg hunting season. What's that? There's an update? Featuring bug fixes and high score saving (on DS and PSP)? But where can I download it?

Oh, here:
