WinColl is a simple puzzle game in which you tunnel through caverns collecting diamonds while avoiding being squashed by falling rocks. It is based on Repton (but without eggs and monsters).

I originally wrote WinColl for Acorn RISC OS. Original and updated RISC OS versions are available.

The name of the game is an abbreviation of my school’s. “Repton” is also the name of a school, but I don’t believe the game was named after it!

Credits

Level design and graphics also by Alistair Turnbull, Paul Smith and Jeremy Douglas. Paul also designed the title graphic.

The sounds are from Freesound, lightly adapted.

Installation and use

Install with pip: pip install wincoll, then execute the command wincoll. The game provides instructions on how to play.

You can edit the levels (the .tmx files) with Tiled.
