If you enjoy the game you may consider a donation, which will help to fund our next project. Thanks a lot in advance :) ************* *** STORY *** ************* After Sqrxz saving Yve in "Sqrxz 3 - Adventure for Love" it was truly a happy moment. Being still heavily in love they decided that the time for a tiny wedding ceremony has come. The celebration party was marvellous and still people talk about this heart breaking moment. Couple of months later both were sure that the time for an own small family has come. Although those are happy news Sqrxz is consequently short of money and a growing family requires a solid financial base. Picking up a newspaper and reading the job offers, a single add caught Sqrxz's attention. An expedition in search of ice marbles needs a brave explorer. After all, he has gone trough a deep jungle to rescue Yve and made it back. This sounds like a job for Sqrxz! After meeting Dr. Branxz, who looked a bit creepy and shady, the deal has been set up and Sqrxz is brought to a mysterious island... full of shiny ice marbles. "Not a single one should be left there", Dr. Branxz said, that just one missing marble will result in a pay refusal and not taking Sqrxz home. If you think Dr. Branxz didn't do his homework, he very well did: His spy satellites spotted exactly 354 marbles. Challenging, isn't it? **************** *** FEATURES *** **************** * Authentic Retro graphics - Pixels forever! * 10 die hard levels! * 11 great tunes! * Top 10 highscore! * Unlimited continues! * Hidden passages! * Cheat codes!

Consult and visit: http://www.libsdl.org/ http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/ http://modplug-xmms.sourceforge.net/ http://www.zlib.net/ The "Scale2x" function used for antialias is an own recoded implementation by Yannick Erb and does not use the original GPL'ed code. You may want to check this page for more information on Scale2x: http://scale2x.sourceforge.net/ Please kindly note "scale2x", "bilinear antialias" and "scanlines", once activated, will intense CPU usage and might lead to slowdowns and higher energy consumption, which therefore will decrease battery life on portable devices. Availability of these functions is OS depending. *********************** *** MUSIC TRACKLIST *** *********************** Title : Solitude (by Vedder) Level 1: A Game Of Fun (by Vedder) Level 2: Insanity Of Me (by Vedder) Level 3: Semicircles (by Vedder) Level 4: We Do It Live (by Vedder) Level 5: Chipmachine (by Vedder) Level 6: Yeti Dance (by Wiklund) Level 7: Chip My Carrot (by Wiklund) Level 8: Cash Is Cash (by Wiklund) Level 9: Bunny Run (by Wiklund) Level 10: Ice Marbles (by Wiklund) [END OF FILE]
