Description

Introduction:

Tag is a 2D puzzle platformer based off of the famous game Tag: The Power of Paint for the TI-83 series of calculators. It features 24 original levels with a fully-functional physics-based environment, along with creative and challenging gameplay. This game was written for the Omnimaga Axe parser contest.

Requirements:

This game will only run at full speed on a TI-83 SE, TI-84, or a TI-84 SE calculator. It will run at reduced speeds on older calculators, i.e. the TI-83 and the TI-BE. Playing at reduced speed is not recommended, however, as it greatly impacts playability.

This game requires 17551 bytes of RAM, as well as a shell that supports Ion. It is highly recommended that you store this file in archive and use a shell such as NoShell to open it.

Controls:

LEFT/RIGHT: Move
UP: Jump
ENTER: Pick up/drop boxes
keys around XTθN: Shoot paint/paint remover
+: Change paint type
