Dongleware's shareware game Oxyd is a gripping challenge
in creativity, hand and mind coordination. Using the mouse,
a black marble is guided through elaborate mazes. Every
landscape introduces new game elements which may be
explored and studied in a playful way. Although the game
mechanics are easily understood there are no quick fixes or
simplistic approaches to the intricate puzzles presented in
Oxyd.
Great fun and excitement comes from the multitude of surfaces
encountered throughout the game. These may consist of tiles
differing in texture, curvature and the amount of friction
generated as the marble moves across them, as well as swampy
and icy areas, deep chasms, raised or sunken passage ways. A
number of objects may be picked up by rolling over them with
the marble. There's a sledge-hammer which lets the player break
down certain wall sections to gain access to adjacent rooms.
The hammer may also be used to create other useful tools, but
that's for you to find out ...
Oxyd also features a two player mode where you can invite your
friends to play over Modem or AppleTalk to discover another 100
levels.
Requirements:
Runs on any Macintosh with at least 1MB of free RAM
The new version 3.7 now supports newer machines that do not
allow to set the monitor to 1 or 4 bit resolution, like the
PowerMac 7100 with the monitor connected to the graphics card.
