There is a secret facility in the mountains of Bavaria where the wiliest and most dangerous Allied prisoners of war are sent. It is referred to as Fortress IX. You have just become the warden. The prisoners will do anything to escape. You must stop them, or the Kaiser will have your head.
Controls:
z - shoot/start x - send dog after prisoner right/left - cycle targets up/down - cycle areas
I really liked your take on the whole escape bit. The graphics were great, and the music wasn't too bad, but the whole thing sorta crumbled when I realized i could play infinitely by bashing up and z and automatically kill anything that would attempt escape. Maybe if there wasn't auto-targeting, it would have been more interesting. That, plus there wasn't a readme or in-game description of the controls, but they were pretty simple to figure out so that's alright. The intro glitched out on me, though, the bottom half of the text was cut off.
I love how the graphics take me waay back to my childhood memories (uhh, this doesn't sound right, considering the game's topic, but you know what I mean, right? Right?!:P). Game feels a little too easy and too slow-paced. Aother than that, it's a nice little game, feels like an old classic, which is very good!
