Tickworld

Tickworld is a 1-player strategy game for the TI-99/4A.

The player must protect themselves from a hoard of attacking ticks. Played from a top-down perspective, the ticks will move directly towards the player. The player and ticks take turns moving. The player can move in eight directions, and throw nets. When a tick walks into a net it is stuck for four turns. The player can pick up trapped ticks and place them into cages. The goal is to capture all eight ticks on the screen.
