First Gameplay Preview release


Gameplay Preview

With great joy I want to share the first public preview build for SkyWays! Includes 22 different levels (All levels from Skyroads that fit in to memory)

Controls

  • Up/Down: Speed up/down
  • Left/Right: Move ship
  • Button 1: Jump
  • Button 2: Skip Level (hold for ~1 second)

Requirements

SkyWays requires a Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) to work. This means you either need a physical CD-i player with a DVC cartridge or CD-i Emulator with an additional DVC ROM to play the preview. MAME is not supported.

Both PAL and NTSC are supported. PAL is the main target, however physics are adjusted for NTSC to give a similar experience.

Notes/Known Issues

  • The game uses a level rotation, the first level is determined by the time the disc is started. When finishing or skipping a level the next level will be loaded.

  • When you fall into the void the level is restarted automatically

  • I do not know if all levels can be completed or not

  • There are small graphical glitches, briefly showing (parts of) the ship on the wrong place. This will be fixed during further development.

Feedback

If you download and play the preview, or run into issues, I’d love to hear your feedback! Also including the model number of your player would help a lot in finding compatibility issues.

i played the demo and i love it! i burned the image to a cd and it works perfect, both on the cd-i 490 and on the cd-i 205 also my bluetooth gamepad for the cd-i works on it without any problems. it's just great to see that there is a new game for cd-i lovers and that some life is being breathed into it again! a 10 with a star!

Thanks for the feedback and praise, very glad that you like it! A quick question, are you running NTSC or PAL?
