No Name

Atari ST 1989

No Name is a game in which you are controlling a bubble with the joystick in a quest to explore rooms and find a way out of a maze. The bubble can be controlled by pressing the button and the joystick up, but without constantly pressing up the bubble is losing height. Gaining height costs energy and you must avoid running out of control of your bubble. Any contact with walls or obstacles causes the player to lose one of five lives. There are doors that constantly open or close, switches to press to open other doors and teleporters that take you to other rooms. In total there are 27 rooms. Once the player has lost all lives, a statistic is displayed about the percentage of rooms explored and - if enough points are scored - an entry in the highscore table can be reached. There is a continue function that allows you to start a new game in the last room that was lost in the previous game. The game is written in GFA Basic and the source code is also available on disk.
