Short, fun game!
Well done! Thanks for playing it.
Love the interesting level design. I've played a few games but not completed it yet.
Thank you!
Loved this one Steve. GFX look awesome. The games plays well and looks very polished.
Thanks very much!
Really liked the 3 robot visualisation as you lose each life (which i did many times). Great graphics and fun to play movement, especially timing the jumps. Superb in such a short time, and inspirational as with the other entires. Well done to all.
Thanks! :)
An excellent game with superb atmosphere! I love the main character animation - reminds me of Walker on the Amiga. Starting from the beginning when you die is a tough call, but that's what I'd call 'The Spectrum Spirit'!
I completed it, but there was no way to restart afterwards?
Very nicely done!
Thanks and no, I wanted to die it home that it was the end..totally! (maybe it didn't work, but that was the idea behind no restart)
Excellent game and presentation. Speed and animation are great. Loved exploring and also the sfx I found really good
Thank you!
Superb, I'd say your best one yet, the character animation is great, nice fast movement, precise jumps, love the theme, especially as a fan of the inspiration. If it was loaded from tape not being able to restart could be annoying but with instant loads it's actually a really nice thing that matches the game idea. I've not finished it yet.
Thanks! and yes the ending was done like that on purpose so it drives the fact that it really is THE END. Not sure if it was a good idea but that was the plan.
Plays nicely, very fast and frantic. Quite harsh that you go back to the start each time you die.
BUG? When you die-die, i.e. lose all lives, there doesn't seem to be a way to restart.
That's not a bug, it's a feature! :D (yes for once I can say it was actually made that way as I wanted to really push that it was THE END, maybe it wasn't a good idea but that was why I did it.)
