The Underwater Extravaganza
What is bluppo...
Bluppo is a Boulderdash-like game made for IBM PC compatibles.
It was coded in pure assembler (more than 20000 lines of code).
Bluppo requires at least 386 processor and VGA card.
Optionaly you can have joystick, soundcard and mouse.
Bluppo offers 256-color graphics, with 4-channel digital music or sound effects, 80
levels of fun for one player, and 80 tricky levels for two players simoultaneously.
If you ever played Boulderdash and you liked it, then you'll love
Bluppo. It offers a lot more than Boulderdash... new idea, excelent graphics and
sounds, 160 large and tricky levels, great number of characters, and much, much more.
The goal of the game is to collect certain number of fish, in order to exit to another level.
Some of the levels are easy, some of them requires you to be fast, some of them requires
that you use your brains, but all of them are very addictive!

- IBM compatible PC (works fine even on 386!!)
- VGA card
- tastature :-)
- mouse (optional)
- soundcard (optional)
- joystick (optional)

Here are few lines about Bluppo from some Croatian computer magazines:
BUG No.37/95
... and some time pass, and something similiar appeared
on PC, and, imagine - directly from croatian programmers!
It is fine DOS graphic game BLUPPO from group of authors...
BYTE No.39/96.
Quality graphics and sound blaster music were achieved...
MiPS No.22/96.
Although game is made in low resolution (320x200x256),
this game graphicaly looks very fine. Also, there is good
music which you can hear on Sound Blaster cards, and
there are attractive levels which are not very easy to
pass without previous exercise...
WIN.INI No.1./97.
Although this game can remind us on some old games...,
Bluppo is much more imaginative, and graphics is more
suitable for todays criteria. Good music and funny
solutions make this games especially attractive.
