Thanks, I've tried Smart on my A1200 with Blizzard1260 and it works perfectly (I think it would work even on a plain A1200...) but the game is way too difficult. The problem is the countdown, there are too few seconds to complete a level and it gets frustrating... I was able to complete only 2 levels, I know how to solve the third level but I'm not fast enough... what a pity...

Maybe it's easier with slower CPU?

Missing in HOL? I would say that HOL is missing 95% of all PD Games.

The games are great. I really like logical puzzlers. Are you the author? I think there is a bug with Gold Mine. It asks for another disk if you choose the special edition version. Original game works fine.

I don't know... I think that the counter works correctly, the problem is that you have just ~50 second for each level... maybe I am too slow... but I am sure that the game would be much more enjoyable with more time or even without a counter...

yes, Smart require OCS amiga with 1MB ram as minimum and plain A1200 would be fine too.

I am not saying it is easy, but the timer is just fine :-) The third level has several solutions but only one is optimal and fast enough to execute it on time (HINT: only move 3 arrow blocks) I did it on 4th try with 5 seconds left.

I am co-author of one of these games but both games were coded on my Amiga.

It is not a bug, explanation is written in DOS window while game is loading.
You can use formatted Amiga disk named 'MyGold' or just create assign to some writtable medium, and when you create your own level within Level editor, these custom levels can be played by selecting Special Edition version.

Thanks for the explanation. Will have it another to the weekend.

thanks for the hint... I'll give it a try this weekend, I like puzzle games and this one is pretty interesting...

hipoonios · 23 July 2016, 20:27

I have now played through the games. I really liked both of them. Fun, balanced gameplay and great music...

Yes, in Smart the time is short on some levels. But you have passwords and unlimited continues. So this is not really a problem. Weird last level BTW

Thanks again for the games

to HipooniosL:
Lepani - one more unreleased logical game, 3 fellas each one with different set of skills, first few levels are nothing more than practise to find out what each one can do...
You have to get them to exit with same color as the guys have.

hipoonios · 04 August 2016, 13:11

Yet another great one! I took a quick look and it looks really great. The game reminds me a bit of Gonks and Chaneques. How many levels are there in each skill level?

There are 100 levels total, but I don't remember how the skill settings works.

You know after first Lemmings release all cool logic games should have 100 levels :-)

hipoonios · 04 August 2016, 16:08

Great, that will keep me busy for some time

hipoonios · 05 August 2016, 14:55

Level 3 seems to have a bug. I can't get the green character to the exit

edit: nevermind! Just figured out that you can hold down fire to jump higher

It took some time! But finally managed to finish all levels

This is far the best one of the games you have posted and I really recommend it for others who like puzzle games.

The skill level is the difficulty of the levels. And they increase every 20 levels.

Level 1-20 = Skill level 1 (easy), Level 21-40 = Skill level 2 (little harder) etc...

Thanks for Lepani longplay

hipoonios · 15 August 2016, 19:49

Thanks!

Just a note. Lepani and the two other games can now be downloaded from Aminet

There's a special place in hell for people who upload ZIP archives to Aminet.
