We are excited to welcome Thomas Jentzsch to 9bit Robot.
Thomas is one of the most respected developers in the Atari 2600 homebrew scene. For more than two decades he has been pushing the console further than anyone thought possible, with games like Thrust, Boulder Dash, Star Castle Arcade and Aardvark, along with countless hacks and arcade conversions. He is also a longtime contributor to Stella, the Atari 2600 emulator that players and developers around the world rely on every day.
We are proud to be publishing his newest Atari 2600 game, StalaX.
About StalaX
Stalactites grow down from the top of the screen, and if one reaches the bottom, the game is over. Drips fall from the stalactites too, draining your energy when they hit the ground or your ship. Use your rapid fire to keep the stalactites in check and blast the drips before they land, and grab the power-ups that fall from above for extra fire power and energy.
Each wave lasts 60 seconds. Survive it, and the screen clears for the next, harder wave.
We will be sharing more about StalaX soon, including release plans and production updates.
