Where is it ? - C64

Hi Fans :) 

Here is 'Whereisit?' my first game ever done for C64 :) 

👉 The project
WhereIsIt is a small prototype born from my recent dive into discovering the Commodore 64. I wanted to explore the machine of our childhood, understand how it works, and learn its tools step by step. This project is the result of that adventure. It’s a rewritten port based on the earlier versions I released on other platforms. 

👉  A challenge
Built as a personal challenge, WhereIsIt is a simple puzzle game exploring the C64’s architecture, limitations, and possibilities. This version has been rewritten using OSCAR64 by Dr. MortalWombat, great THANKS for your work  

👉 The Prototype
The prototype still uses placeholder graphics created during my learning process, but it already includes two game modes, a bonus stage, and a set of levels to explore. Development is ongoing, and I continue improving the game as I learn more about the platform. 

💬 Help improve the game
To improve WhereIsIt, your feedback, ideas, and help are very welcome :)

👉 What next ?
- Include a story mode
- Find one or more different Bonus stage
- Bugs hunting
- ...

ABOUT THE GAME 

🕹️ GOAL
You have to find the correct 3x3 pattern in the Game Area. Your searching skills are being tested to the max.  

🕹️ GAME MODES 
* Normal : Time is your enemy — don’t rest on your laurels. The faster you find the correct matrix, the higher your score will be.  
* Hard : Seconds don’t behave like real seconds anymore, and time runs much faster. Tension rises quickly, so stay sharp!  
Difficulty progression in both mode :
time accelerates as you advance through the levels: gently in Normal mode, more aggressively in Hard mode ;) 

🕹️ CHALLENGING STAGE 
After completing the 10 rounds (in each game mode), you'll access to a 'BONUS STAGE' : 

MEMORY FLASH  : 
Memorize the 3x3 pattern.
Before time runs out, find it in the Game Area and chain five hits to earn the ultimate perfect bonus 

🕹️ H.U.D  
Everything is clear except maybe the ‘pause’ 
Pause = 10 (you can only press 'pause' button 10 times per round) 

🕹️ CONTROLS 
Joystick  - Move cursor 
Fire - Select the correct pattern 
'P' - To pause game and Fire to continue the game 
'F1' - Quit game and go back to menu
