Entering the game The book opens and the pentaminoes start to fall. You're all familiar with the tetris principle, so I won't go into detail here :)
During the game, some positive options have been included. It's up to you to find out how to trigger them.
When we say positive options, we're also talking about options that... arrghhh... the world (in that case, the little square close to the HUD will be flashing. So, if your controller or fire button are unresponsive, don't throw it away: it's neither a controller default nor a bug ;)
THE GAME
Press the fire button while entring Hall of Fame and the menu appears. To navigate through it, use your joystick to move up or down, left when necessary

LITTLE STORY
STEPFIVE_F030 was my really first try on Falcon and was developed in asm using DEVPAC in Hatari. Then it was assembled on a real Falcon030. It is still in WIP status but in standby since a couple of years. On this version, some minor updates have been added like a new menu, flashing line when the player done a line...
TODO LIST
Correcting the gameplay
Bug hunting
adding sfx and musics
...
I hope you enjoy :)
