Majesty Of Sprites is a hardcoding experiment under the pretences of a no scrolling Giana Sisters’ like game running in multicolor bitmap, full of software sprites, gorgeous backgrounds, evil jumps to perform and diamonds and hearts to collect! Bauknecht has shown this preview version at Revision, reaching 4th place in the generic Game Developing competition. It allows you to play 12 different and very big screens, divided into 6 ‘worlds’ of two screens each. Bitmap sprites look very Atari-ish, having two assigned colour only, setting the code free to assign a very large variety of colours any 4×8 (8×8) box (look at the very last screens, they’re incredible), moreover allowing very extensive animation all around. The enemies attack in different movements, and some shoot at you. What you lose in all this, is the scrolling.
The authors state that this is a preview only, without ingame tunes, missing several worlds to play and who knows what else to still add in.
