The Tragedy of Ryohyukan
In this Family BASIC homebrew, The Tragedy of Ryohyukan, there are a bunch of penguins on the screen and it's your job as detective is to find the killer(s) and mark them pink. You can move your cursor with the D-Pad over 9 spots though only the 8 outside ones matter. All the penguins start in the bottom middle square and move counter-clockwise mostly in a group though staggered. Press A to change the direction of the penguins currently standing still. Press B to mark all the penguins standing still as killers. Press Start to see if you’ve marked all the killers (and just killers) pink. If you did, you win the stage. You get points for living penguins and bonus points for speed? or maybe for living killers identified since I believe killers can kill killers. There is a timer in the upper right corner with pink rectangles that disappear over time. If you run out of pink rectangles, you lose. If the killers kill all the innocents, you lose. You can lose up to 3 times before it resets you back to the main screen. There are 8 stages and as of stage 3, each stage seems to be the number of killers. I love this game!
