GlowPoint - An interpretation of the arcade game Flash Point for your Amiga!

Another Tetris style game has appeared that's worthy of a mention on Indie Retro News, as we were recently informed by glowpoint JMD/Harwdired on our website that Retro Nanny has made available a work in progress version of the upcoming game called 'GlowPoint'. A game that is described as an interpretation of the arcade game Flash point for your Amiga. To coincide with this news, provided below is the full details as well as gameplay footage from Saberman.

Here's the latest. "One thing that I did miss when I was in my amiga years was a version of Flash Point - the tetris-based puzzle game - to play at home. I loved this version but the closest arcade where it was located was 10 miles away from where i lived.  I did pitch the idea to the team that made powder but they were not interested. After looooong time, i did try to recreate the game using flash in 2009 modifying an existing tetris flash game but then life went on the way and i lost the files."

"Later on I did find a blitz pc tetris version. Had the idea to rework it and, with the help of cylon, a bare base working version was in the beginning, but then I was unable to go on and asked Hardwired to help. He did recode almost all the base engine, added the flashpoint gameplay, implemented music and a good chunk of the graphics, while I did provide the base graphics, the levels and the soundtracks plus some testing. This version is a one player only and has 99 levels (arcade similar). In future more levels are planned, and also a level editor might be available."
