What is polypolyX?

PolyPolyX

I wasn't sure if Porita / Grand Poly (ポリ太) was a usable tool without first making a game, so I made this in a hurry. How is it?

About This Program

The map data for this uses the same tool as Ore Buster 2. That is, Ore Buster 2 can be converted to a 3D game without change.

This game is 3D version of a game previously made with QBASIC. If you can make it in QBASIC, there is no great difficulty to make it 3D. Conversely, if you can't make it QBASIC, making it in 3D would be overly exhausting, right? The most important thing in making a game is not to make it 3D but to be able to make a game.

If you can make it quickly in 2D, you should be able to make it quickly in 3D. Like this, right?
