xniq

xniq is a clone of CROSSNIQ for the Game Boy Advance.

(This is an alpha build for GBA Jam 2021)

How to play:

• Hold A to grab, D-Pad to move.
• The game ends when the timer hits zero.
• To replenish the timer & earn points, arrange the tiles into a cross
  (a "+" shape of a single colour spanning the whole board)
• Special tiles:
  • Locked (🔒) tiles can't be scrolled off the edge of the board.
  • Frozen (❌) tiles won't move at all!
  • Bonus (⭐) tiles are worth extra points if you clear them!
• The "Type Break" rule:
  • Special tiles that are neighbouring the cross will lose their special status. This can be helpful to get rid of Locked and Frozen tiles, but bad news for Bonus tiles!
