Written for the SyntaxBomb Retro-Game fightout It is based on a Sinclair Spectrum with the option to use ZX-Spectrum graphics from glorious color clash to 16 amazing Sinclair colours and sound (from a single beep (48k), simple 3 voice (128k) or fully sampled (next)).
You play as Mortis: Overworked minion of Mr De'Ath.
There is a party planned and someone has nicked his 5 runes. Toddle off and find them for him to really get the party started.
But wait.... it's not as simple as all that is it? Oh no, there's a time limit and a collection of clockwork fiends and demented dangers to prevent you from sipping Mojitos at the party!
Collect lost treasures, throw a few skulls and bash a few piñatas. And beware the Fabled Broom of Doom!
With an emulated chip-synth and custom written QasarBeach sound engine, you might just stay around for the sounds alone - why not stay forever?
Control is simple:
left/right/up/down and fire, all can be reconfigured to your own desires...
Fullscreen or windowed.
MacOS, Windows and Linux versions available
