Dumbbell

Dumbbell is an arcade style game.

Gameplay

You control a constantly moving dot that can turn left or right. This dot leaves a toxic resin everywhere it goes, so crossing your previous path will be fatal.

The point of the game is to collect dumbbells, which appear randomly — the more dumbbells you get, the higher your score. When you get a dumbbell, it cleams up some of the toxic resin nearby, enabling you to pass through small gaps in your path. Each dumbbell counts for 1000 points, and your score also goes up a little as you move around.

The current version is 1.4, released on June 21, 2005 with a new option for disabling wraparound for more challenging games.

Availability

Dumbbell is available for Windows. If you are on another operating system, you can play Dumbbell anyway, but you will need a compiler for the C programming language. In this case, you will need the SDL multimedia library.

An old version for DOS is available, although it is no longer being updated.

A Dreamcast port is available from IMR Technology.
