MeteoRain (GameShell Jam #1)

Meteors are falling from the sky!
Avoid them for how long as possible to make an high score!

Cartridge version

A complete and improved version of MeteoRain is included as a bonus game in the beautiful cartridge edition (complete with box and bonus postcards) of my other Mega Drive / Genesis game "30 Years of Nintendon't." This physical version is published by Coté Gamers, and you can buy it here to enjoy  3 new games on your console:

Game format: ROM

MeteoRain is an actual game for the SEGA Megadrive / Genesis home console. 
You can download the ROM version of the game here, and use it with a Megadrive / Genesis emulator

Indeed, the GameShell is very skilled at playing retro games with emulators, so I settled for a retro system matching its screen resolution (Sega Genesis is 320*224 - almost the 320*240 of the console screen), and I tried to make a game for it!

To play the game, you must download the ROM and:

A) Use it with RetroArch (download the Genesis Plus GX core) - easiest to do as the emulator comes preloaded with the console.

OR

B) Install the GameShell optimised Picodrive Emulator from here:

[Recommended solution as you'll get the best performance]

In any case, the ROM is also working on actual Megadrive / Genesis console :)!
(but in that case, you won't be able to carry it in your pocket!)
