A downloadable game

Symbola means 'symbols' in Latin. Test your concentration and memory skills in two challenging mini puzzle games !

In the first mini game, you have to Find the pairs. A deck of cards made of 10 pairs is shuffled and the cards are placed facedown. Pick a card with the cursor to reveal it. Unpick it to hide it. Pick two cards to reveal them and gain them if they match.

In the second mini game, your goal is to Find the missing one. On the left panel, select the symbol that is missing on the right panel. Be careful as you get only one try. If you choose the wrong one, the game is immediately over !

Symbola  has been programmed in basic for the Camputers Lynx 48K/96K.

This game was submitted to the Retro Programmers United for Obscure Systems - Camputers Lynx session - Game Jam of July-October 2023.

The cover image was mainly made with DALL·E 2.

CONTROLS

Use the [LEFT], [RIGHT], [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to move the cursor.
