| #23 Astral Tournament |
Apus Software | In Astral Tournament duel you fight the other mage (computer or other player) for control of magical plane using creatures and other spells. The creatures and spells are of the following magical elements: Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Death. Each mage starts the duel with 50 life points. Each mage has five more numbers - they show his power in the appropriate magic element. These powers affect the spells the mage can cast and the power of the spells also. (e.g. if your Fire power is 5 you can cast fire spells or summon fire creatures with level 5 or less). Each time you cast spell/summon creature with level X your appropriate element power reduces by X, and each turn all of your powers are increased by 1. Each creature has two stats: attack strength and life number. If the creature attacks player/other creature that player's/creature's life is reduced by the attack strength the attacking creature possesses. If the creature's life is reduced to 0 that creature dies. The object of the duel is to defeat your opponent by reducing his life number from 50 to 0. Version 1.3 contains new features in internet gameplay. |

A direct use of the DirectX interface becomes redundant by DXMap. A condition for the use of DXMap is the installation of DirectX starting from version 7. It was actually tested with DirectX 9. DirectX can be downloaded from the Microsoft Website (http://www.microsoft.com). DXMap provides the following graphical solutions, which also can be switched off alternatively: 1. Graphic representation of any size, which can be viewed completely with a scrolling mechanism. 2. Composition of several pictures with transparent ranges, that form a new picture as an overlay. 3. Representation of sequences, which result in a kind of film by being successively indicated. 4. Movement of bitmaps over the map area with an automatic representation of the way. 5. Distinction between fore- and background, so that first has the priority before the latter. 6. Evaluation of mouse messages. 7. Beside graphical representations also texts and lines can be displayed. |

| #36 Zaxxoids |
ZenSoft | Zaxxoids is an original realtime puzzle game. The player rearranges the playing field to direct pieces as they fall, grouping pieces of similar colors to eliminate them and advance to the next level. Zaxxoids combines fast-paced action with clever puzzles to provide an addictive and enjoyable gaming experience. The idea is deceptively simple: deflect balls as they roll down configurable paths in order to line them up by color - three or more in a row and they are eliminated. Use this reaction to destroy all of the colored "orbs" (zaxxoids) on the playing field in order to advance to the next level. When you combine the objective of destroying zaxxoids with the diverse and increasingly complex scrolling playing fields, time bombs, impenetrable balls, and other "twists" that permeate Zaxxoids, the result is a game that is both unique and familiar. There are over 120 levels in Zaxxoids, each with its own challenge and allure. Additional Level Packs (groups of similarly-themed levels) are available for Zaxxoids. Furthermore, a click-and-drag WYSIWYG Level Editor is included with the game to allow you to create and share Zaxxoids levels with others over the Internet. Zaxxoids runs at 1024 x 768 resolution in True Color mode (16.7 million colors) with real-time antialiasing (for smoother graphics), shadow effects, and particle system explosions. Zaxxoids also allows users to play their own music playlists during the game with built-in support for both iTunes and Windows Media Player. Online step-by-step graphical solutions and general hints for levels are accessible from within Zaxxoids by simply clicking a button. Zaxxoids is non-violent and suitable for players of all ages. |
