History
Version 1 of Kye was released in January 1992, and was widely distributed in the UK in collections of shareware games. This version contained all the main features of the game, including mouse control, real-time movement of objects, and the active monsters. It was possible for users to create their own levels, but there was no editor provided - the levels are text files, so can be edited with any text editor.
Version 2 was released in May 1992. People who registered version 1 got version 2, and a larger collection of levels. Version 2 included a WYSIWYG editor integrated into the game (although this editor could only edit single-level files). It also added new objects which increased the scope of the game for arcade style puzzles, including black holes, shooters and timer blocks.
Both of these versions are for Windows only, and are 16-bit applications. They still run on a modern Windows system, but should be installed in a directory with a short (<=8 characters in the filenames) path, otherwise there will be problems opening levels.
