Reverb PSP

Reverb is a Lua-based homebrew game inspired by a game called "Compulse".

User guide

This game is about trying to get the white ball into the big purple one while fighting gravity and friction with anti-gravity blocks.

You also want to get to the finish point with the shortest run, least amount of anti-gravity blocks, and fastest build time.

You have to avoid obstacles like bombs, walls, and traps, while jumping through portals and grabbing keys.

Cross - Press and hold on the boxes to make new ones and place around on the course

Circle - Reset the level

Square - Delete the top block under the mouse

Select - Resume the game

Known Bugs:
- Death animation (stars) slowed down a bit. This is to keep the game from slowing down until I find a way around it.
- Usual collision limitations.
- timer will sometimes jump up an extra 7000 seconds, for some unknown reason.
- If more than one green/ yellow block is placed, it increases the strength of a single one. Still counts the new block.
- Game slows down a small bit if block count is around 15 or 16.
