Now that i have released Lighthouse Lunacy http://forums.indiegamer.com/showthread.php?t=10411, I migtht as well make its predecessor, The Old Well, available for free.
It's a GBA game and as such it can be played on an emulator, for example Visual Boy Advance (http://vba.ngemu.com/index.shtml)
It can be downloaded from www.athleticdesign.se/theoldwell. Instructions are inside the game.
It's fully playable but was intended as a demo to attract publishers It is an action paced puzzle/platform game that was originally inspired by the obscure Vic 20 game Bricks. You must avoid the falling blocks, while at the same time arranging them in rows to ultimately fill up an old well. To your help you can jump, push, and punch (and even roll around along the ground).
The finished game was meant to have enemies of different behaviour but it still works as a game without them. A little bit like a reverse Mr. Driller. That said, if we had managed to put in enemies, I think it would have produced some very interesting emergent gameplay.
I hope to return to it someday. But I did include it partly as a late level in Lighthouse Lunacy (www.lighthouselunacy.com).
