Developed for the BASIC 10Liner 2023 contest, 10 Lines Princess is a sequel to the already impressive 10 Lines Hero, which was itself an entry to the 2021 edition of the contest. This time, killing enemies changes your color to allow for hazard immunity and more effective healing, among many improvements. The hero saved the princess, but after the hero had been captured, can the princess rescue her savior?
The objective of the game is to rescue the princess who has been kidnapped by monsters. You have to defeat the monsters that live in the dungeon and reach the room where the princess is trapped.
Hydefos is a shoot 'em up with smooth scrolling, a rarity on the MSX, where the scrolling is usually choppy, and a feat developer Hertz had already accomplished on a previous title, action platformer Psychic World. You pilot one of five ships through levels featuring branching paths, so two play-throughs could be different depending on where you go.
Pac-Mania is a variation on the game Pac-Man. You need to guide Pac-Man around a maze and eat all of the dots on the board to proceed on to the next round. Numerous, multi-colored ghosts also roam the maze trying to stop you. If you eat one of the power pellets in the maze, the ghosts will temporarily turn blue and run from you. Pac-Man can earn bonus points by eating the ghosts when they are in this state. The maze is now shown in isometric perspective and is larger than the screen which will scroll to follow the action. To help get out of tight spots, Pac-Man can now jump. But be careful, because some of the ghosts have learned this trick as well and you could end up in a mid-air collision!
You, Caroline Phenix, condemned to the depths of hell.
But why are you here? How did you die? Are you really dead? Will you ever see the light of day again?
Try escaping hell while slowly becoming a demon yourself!
