Hello!! Sorry for the intrusion, hehehe. My name is Felipe, and until recently, I have been editing games for the Spectrum on cassette. Due to personal and work reasons, I’m going to stop editing, and I'm saying goodbye with a compilation of homebrew games for The Spectrum on USB. I want it to be the best and most complete compilation of homebrew games that has ever been made. It will be a non-profit edition, just to provide users of The Spectrum with a pack to spend hours and hours in front of their ZX. I’ve seen some of your games on http://Itch.io and wanted to ask if you would be interested in contributing any of your ZX games to this compilation. I already have legendary creators from the scene on board, but I’d also like to reach out to you. It can be one game, two, or as many as you want, in .TAP format. Even simply granting me permission and letting me know which games I could include would be enough, and I can download them from http://Itch.io. We have created a system where the games will be encrypted, and no one will be able to use them digitally; they will only be playable on their The Spectrum, Divide, or computer. My email is playonretro@gmail.com. Best regards, and thank you very much
I'm finding the use of the arrows as platforms very difficult. Sir Fred as always a fiddly game, but I'm struggling with this more. The arrows disappear far to early to successfully use them. Am I doing something wrong? Looking at all the videos on YouTube, it's like everyone is struggling.
Thank you for your comments. In the final version I will increase the time of the arrows.
Nice preview !
It already looks and sounds great, even though it's not even finished yet. I also included it in my new "Gameplay of New ZX Spectrum Games from September 2024" video along with all the other newly released ZX Spectrum games.
thanks
Cool game, thank you.
Thanks. I noticed that you have realised that the bad guys don't take energy away when you throwing to the ground. Haha. That problem has been solved.
You got me :-)
Nice demo!
Thanks. Walkthrough of the new playable demo
Muchísimas ganas de que salga la versión final. Todos mis ánimos para que el proyecto salga adelante. Gracias y felicidades.
Muchas gracias
