Crack Attack! is an OpenGL puzzle game similar to the Super Nintendo classic game “Tetris Attack”.
Slowly, your stack of colored blocks grows from the bottom, and you’ve got to make sure it never reaches the top. If it does, you lose. To eliminate blocks from the stack, line up at least three of one color, horizontally or vertically. Once you do, those blocks disappear, and delay your inevitable demise.
Whenever a block is eliminated, or when garbage is being converted to blocks, the stack of blocks will stop rising momentarily and the time bar will be paused. When the 7-seconds limit is reached, the player will only have one second to eliminate blocks as a last chance to reset the time counter. If all the garbage is eliminated and there are no blocks in contact with the top of the screen, the time bar will be set to the initial state again.
Features include:
- Customizable.
- Solo Mode.
- Two Player Mode / Versus Computer.
- Network Mode.
- Normal and X-treme game modes, the latter offering new types of garbage and blocks.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
The game needs OpenGL and 3D graphics hardware support.
