Exclamation Unknow game from the 90's...

Hello everybody!
I landed here in a attempt to find a old game, no one on any italian forum seems to remember it and i'm starting to think that it didn't even exist!!


The protagonist was a...white square, and squares were the enemies, but they were differently coloured depending on the type of enemy the were (i seem to remember blue, green, red ones...and then bloodworms made of red circles).

He could pick up ammos, weapons, dynamite, keys...

The levels were built up with coloured squares, i remember a lot of blue and red; and they were quite long, not in a single screen.

The vision was from the top, but you could see the protagonist and the enemies' faces frontally.

ehm, I know my artistic skilss suck, but, here you are a terrible drawing representing what i can remember of the game:
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/2315/snv38169.jpg

If this can help, i had installed it from a game compilation i bought around 1999, and it was a shareware.

HELP!
(and sorry if i made some language mistake - correct me! )

I don't know what the game is, but I'm sure someone here will be able to help you find it. I just wanted to say that your picture is awesome


Good luck finding your title!

That picture would make a nice candidate for the quiz of the day.
Maybe that would help to find out...

Florianix was just joking - we have a quiz on the front page made from screenshots of games

I'm sure over the next few days (probably sooner) someone will know what game you are looking for

I think that great picture would in fact be worth to post a reward for the identification of the game.

Should be some more pieces of eight as for the "normal" quiz of course...

you know, this is the one that's more similar by now! the protagonist was not a man but a square, and the levels were a lot more brightly coloured and futuristic, but its quite similar!
