LCD Gallery is a game for Thumby devices inspired by classic LCD handheld games. It includes the following three games:

Sky Quest

Story

You must brave the magic platforms to retrieve the Helmet of Ultimate Power and return it to solid ground. Unfortunately, you're trapped in a sisyphean nightmare and must do this over and over again.

Rules

• Move from the left side of the screen to the right to retrieve the helmet by hopping along the platforms.
• The magic platforms will periodically begin to vanish and then reappear. If you are jumping on or standing on a platform which has vanished, you will fall and lose a life.
• The middle platform is a safe zone and will not vanish.
• After you leave the cliff, you can't go back until you get the helmet.
• The helmet will hover up and down; you can only grab it when it's low enough.
• Once you get the helmet, make your way back to the cliff to return it.
• New lives will be awarded at 100, 200, 300, 600, and 1000 points.
• The speed at which platforms vanish will increase as points increase; every 200 points this will reset.

Scoring

• Grabbing the helmet will award 3 points.
• Successfully making it back to the cliff will award between 4 and 14 points depending on how long it takes you.

Duel

Story

It's a classic quick-draw shootout, with a twist! Use your special space-age blaster gun to take down your opponent!

Rules

• After the countdown, numbers will appear above you and the computer player. Whoever has the larger number must try to shoot; whoever has the smaller number must try to dodge. In event of a tie, whoever shoots first wins.
• Each player starts with 100 hit points. The bars on the left and right show your health and the computer player's health, respectively.
• The player who is shot will take damage equal to two times the other player's number.
• The game will end when you run out of hit points.
• When the computer opponent runs out of hit points, you will be awarded bonus points, you will heal by 30 hit points, and a new computer opponent will appear.
• The computer player will react after a random time interval; you should try to react before him.
• If you are supposed to shoot and you dodge instead, you will fall over and take 8 points of damage (except in the event of a tie).
• If both players draw a 0, a tie results and a new round will begin.

Scoring

• On dodging the computer player's shot, 2 points are awarded.
• On successfully shooting the computer player, 3 points are awarded.
• On defeating a computer opponent, 40 points are awarded.

Controls

• Left: Dodge
• A: Shoot

Juggle

Story

Look at these things! I don't know what they are, but if you drop them you're fired.

Rules

• Move the paddle into position before a thing falls to hit it back up into the air.
• The height that items begin to fall back down can vary.
• The thing on the right will sometimes get stuck in a wandering bubble; when this happens it won't fall down until the bubble pops.
• New lives will be awarded at 100, 200, 400, 600, and 1000 points.

Scoring

• Each hit awards 1 point.
• When gaining a new life, 10 bonus points are awarded.
