- Dongleware's shareware game Oxyd is a gripping challenge
- in creativity, hand and mind coordination. Using the mouse,
- a black marble is guided through elaborate mazes. Every
- landscape introduces new game elements which may be
- explored and studied in a playful way. Although the game
- mechanics are easily understood there are no quick fixes or
- simplistic approaches to the intricate puzzles presented in
- Oxyd.
-
- Great fun and excitement comes from the multitude of surfaces
- encountered throughout the game. These may consist of tiles
- differing in texture, curvature and the amount of friction
- generated as the marble moves across them, as well as swampy
- and icy areas, deep chasms, raised or sunken passage ways. A
- number of objects may be picked up by rolling over them with
- the marble. There's a sledge-hammer which lets the player break
- down certain wall sections to gain access to adjacent rooms.
- The hammer may also be used to create other useful tools, but
- that's for you to find out ...
-
- Oxyd also features a two player mode where you can invite your
- friends to play over Modem or AppleTalk to discover another 100
- levels.
-
- Requirements:
- Runs on any Macintosh with at least 1MB of free RAM
-
- The new version 3.7 now supports newer machines that do not
- allow to set the monitor to 1 or 4 bit resolution, like the
- PowerMac 7100 with the monitor connected to the graphics card.
