Intellivision development - Hotel Bunny

Hotel Bunny has the player try to get several of the nine rabbits safely to the titulary hotel, located past a trial of up to three angry dogs.

Controls: Press right on the controller disc to get the bunny hopping towards the hotel. Press a top/bottom button to use carrot power.

To be successful, you must time the bunny's start well, and use your carrot power wisely.

I've developed this Intellivision homebrew using IntyBasic. It's a friendly BASIC flavour which can be clunky at times. However, I found it acceptable for very simple games, such as this one!

Running on real hardware

Here is Hotel Bunny running on my Intellivision console. Unfortunately, the RF modulator is no longer a spring chicken, resulting in severe interference on screen. It looks worse in the photo than when playing it.
