For some weird reason, as if decided by a million indies, one or more trolleys are stuck in a loop. To break out you need to manually switch crossings. Collect a crystal on every spawn spot to advance to the next stage.
This is a C64 game, so behold the retro goodness! Control is via Joystick in Port 2. Press fire to start game. Move your cursor over a crossing. When it can be toggled the cursor blinks white. Keep the button pushed for any trolley to change direction when passing by. This affects not only your own trolleys (grey), but also the fiendish ones (red).
If one of your trolleys collides with a fiendish one, it's game over.
All in all there are 10 stages of varying difficulty.
Since this is a C64 game, you will need an emulator (for now).
Update: A web version is online now! Controls are:
Cursor keys in numpad for moving, Insert in numpad for fire.
Note on Chrome/Brave: Due to stupid browser policies you have to press the button on top ("Toggle Sound") pretty early on, otherwise there is no sound and the game slows to a crawl.
How to use with an emulator:
The game binary is in the file LD47_Endurion_Loopin.prg. Get an emulator like VICE or CCS64, and open them with the file. Be sure to configure the joystick in Port 2.
About the source code:
The source code used C64Studio syntax, very similar to ACME. It however uses a few extension for media file inclusion (character sets, tiles, maps). The full project file is included (LD47.s64)
