![]() Like in Dr.Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, it's your target to stack beans on the playground and to combine them in such a manner that they disappear and give you points. Such a combination needs at least 4 connected beans of the same color, but diagonally connections don't count. Here are some examples of connections that'll give you a combo and remove those beans from the field :
o o o oo ooo oooo oo ooo oo oNew in this version (0.2) are "black beans" that are there to hinder you. You get them either if you start a free game at a higher difficulty or if you play with two players and your enemy get's a bean combo (one black bean than will be dropped onto your field). This beans can't be combined with other black beans and can only be removed from the field if you do a regular bean combo that touches this bean. ![]() BeanMachine comes with a variety of game modes to make it more fun to play :
![]() As the name suggest this is an endless game mode for one player. You can stack beans as long as you want or until you're game over. You collect points and advance levels (higher level means faster bean falling) and in the end you can (if you were good enough) enter the hiscore list. ![]() The most addictive mode of the game where two players fight against eachother. Each player has it's own playground and if one player has a bean combo, the other one becomes a black bean dropped onto his field that can more or less block his current action. The game is over as soon as one player looses. ![]() In this mode you play a timeline through all the scenarios and in every scenario you have a given amount of time to eliminate an also given amount of beans (the ratio between those get's harder as you advance). If you handle that, you advance to the next scenario, and if you make it through all scenarios you can enter your name into the hiscore for the storymode. ![]() Thanks to :
Although I'm very fit at coding and modelling, creating textures isn't my strength at all. So BeanMachine uses mostly (except few pieces) textures (some modified) from other artists. All of them are in public domain, but I still like to give credits : Copyright all content 2004 by Sascha Willems - www.delphigl.de ![]() "We are Motörhead...born to kick your ass!" |
