GlowPoint
A downloadable game

Glowpoint is an interpretation of the arcade game Flash point for your Amiga.
This interesting variation of Tetris focus on destroy the glow points present in the stage using tetris dynamic so to proceed to the next level, emphasizing to do this in the shortest time possible.
One thing that I did miss when I was in my amiga years was a version of Flash Point - the tetris-based puzzle game - to play at home.
I loved this version but the closest arcade where it was located was 10 miles away from where i lived.
I did pitch the idea to the team that made powder but they were not interested.
After looooong time, i did try to recreate the game using flash in 2009 modifying an existing tetris flash game but then life went on the way and i lost the files.
Later on I did find a blitz pc tetris version. Had the idea to rework it and, with the help of cylon, a bare base working version was in the beggining, but then I was unable to go on and asked Hardwired to help.
He did recode almost all the base engine, added the flashpoint gameplay, implemented music and a good chunk of the graphics, while I did provide the base graphics, the levels and the soundtracks plus some testing.
This version is a one player only and has 99 levels (arcade similar).
In future more levels are planned, and also a level editor might be available.
