## Description

_Abysma_ is a single-player, shareware, mouse controlled, puzzle game.

The player starts with a rectangular game area filled with squares of
different sizes, or rather it’s almost filled because there are some holes. At
the top of the game area is ‘The Bar Of Doom’ which slowly descends over the
game area. When it encounters a hole the player loses energy and when that’s
gone it’s game over so the player has to move shapes from elsewhere to fill
the holes before ‘The Bar Of Doom’ reaches them – naturally this makes another
hole somewhere else so the player must somehow fill those holes too

For every level the player completes the game adds another shape to the game
area so while level one is just different sized squares level three has cross
shapes and so on

The game has a high score table and an on-line high score table, music, a
tutorial level, four difficulty settings and can be played in a window or full
screen. The shareware version was downloaded as a complete game but was locked
after sixty minutes of play, if the player wished to continue they had to
purchase an unlock key. The game could also be played on-line for a short
period.
