Tetra Zone

Tetra Zone is a modern take on the best known arcade puzzle game of all time for classic Amiga computers.

The first version of this game was written for the AmiGameJam 2024 under the theme "The Sequel that Never Was"

One of my goals was to learn game development on a classic Amiga system  using modern tools and methods. I wrote a  game development framework named RATR0  which implements the techniques described in my Youtube tutorial series "Amiga Hardware Programming in C"; Tetra Zone is written on top of this framework.
