Boxy II v0.6.6
It seems that it takes around four to five months for Ghoti to release an update to the improved Lumines game clone (Ghoti’s description, not ours) that we all love, Boxy II.
Given that our last report on this brew was November last year, here’s a little refresher on the game. In the game, blocks of 4 fall down and you can turn them in a rotation you wish (clockwise/conterclockwise), and whenever there’s a clump of the same color, the sweep-line will destroy them and points will be given. Yes, Lumines.
Anyhow, the game features 4 game modes, animated skins, increased difficulty over time, high-scores for each mode, customizable skins and sounds. What’s new in this update is the Frantic game mode, a small change to the high-scores and the difficulty, MP3 buffering, and new skins. Here’s a partial changelog:
- New game mode: Frantic game
- Optionscreen updated (e.g. better sound options)
- Highscores now for each gamemode seperate
- small change to gameover screen
- changed scoring system
- difficulty system changed
- Animated backgrounds
- Custom soundfx
- Mp3 buffering
- three preview quads

As always, be sure to check out the readme file before you attempt to play this okay? Enjoy folks!
