Can confirm, this works through Gamehub again, on my Android device, Richard.

Another oddity with this one, was if you set frame-limiter to anything higher than 35 fps, it makes the game run at a snails pace, but set it to 35 or 30 fps, full speed game.

Automatically worked with the handhelds (Odin 2 Pro) builtin controls, except keyboard setting for C, to change to ZX-Spectrum graphics.

I can't say, i have ever played this before on the Spectrum.

Quite a hard game, managed to get to Level 2, but can't get the snowman's buttons, without dying.

Hope you have a great Xmas, and happy new year 2026.

Hi Paul. In most of my games I don't usually set a specific frame rate, but I have in this and a couple of others as without it, it runs far too fast.
I'm likely to use F for fullscreen/Window, H for Pause and C to switch to Spectrum colours (if available) in future, so are there keys you would rather I use?
While we're here - here's a little tip that might make the game a little easier: You can go right to the bottom of the screen and run along the bottom. The baddies can't go down there so you're safe! I never knew this until I started playing the original game non-stop for this remake!

Oh no, i wasn't complaining Richard, i can easily configure a special key mapping using this device for all special keys.

Not a problem.

Ahhhhhh so there is a secret way of collecting the parts, thank you.

All the best.
