Saturnade

found on reddit, here is another new small homebrew

  
	
	
Saturnade is a Sega Saturn homebrew game inspired by a popular game featuring an avian flapping its wings to pass through the opening between vertical pipes. In Saturnade, the concept is reversed a bit, in that the player controls the opening, rather than the ship.

If the opening gets too close to the bottom of the screen, it will "snap" back and reappear at the top. This is so that the game is not trivialized by waiting for the opening to "land" at the bottom, and then work it upwards from there.

The starting point for this game was a tic-tac-toe source code which was a jumble of spaghetti code, with a nasty sauce of an SDL-like wrapper on top. The first few evenings were spent only on cleaning that up, and extracting useful bits.

Unfortunately :/
Developing things for Saturn 10 years ago was a real hell in comparison to what's possible now, so I sometimes wonder what he would had done on Saturn with nowadays dev environment.

I still hope he will be back making Saturn things someday
