I’ve been working on a new browser game called ONE OR TWO, MAYBE B?
It is a quick retro-styled game built around simple questions, suspicious answers, missing letters, shapes, colours and the occasional moment of misplaced confidence.
Each level contains five questions. Some use numbers. Some use letters. Some ask you to count, spot a missing character or work out what is one, two or three away from the expected answer.
You begin with three lives. Meet the target and you keep going. Get all five questions right and you earn another life. Miss the target and things become less comfortable.
There are three difficulty settings:
Easy gives you more room to settle in.
Normal steadily raises the target as you progress.
Hard adds a sixty-second timer for each five-question round.
The game has no accounts, no adverts and no scores to upload. Open it, play a few rounds and leave whenever your confidence begins to deteriorate.
Supported browsers can also install it to the home screen, so it can run more like a standalone app.
The visual style takes inspiration from old home computers, especially the sharp colours and straightforward presentation of the ZX Spectrum. It opens on black with the WOMBATSOFT 84 logo before moving into the game.
The home screen also contains a small hidden detail. A single letter or number wanders around an invisible grid behind the menu, moving one block at a time. It can wrap around the edge of the screen, snap into a new rotation and occasionally overlap with another character before disappearing.
Most people will probably treat it as decoration.
Others may notice that it is trying to say something.
ONE OR TWO, MAYBE B? is made for the browser and designed primarily for portrait play on phones, while still working on desktop.
No fuss. Just open and play.
