Easily one of my top 5 things to play on the Oric-1, just a delightful and perfectly executed title to bring joy to any Oric user. If this game had been released in the days of Oric, there would've been a whole new aesthetic genre developed out of it .. and thus, this title is a testament to Dbug as an example of the finest of 21st Century Oric hackers whose spirit is well and truly expressed in this game, keeping the Oric alive.
Don't overlook the fact that this is indeed, a hackers title. You can drop to Oric BASIC if you know how, and as well save the princess from an all-too familiar grumpy monkey, somehow, too .. ;)
A brilliant and worthwhile implementation of a tired, boring gameplay concept - but on the other hand, this opens so many doors for a wider game and like so many 10-LINE BASIC entries, inspires imagination for what could be done with the rest of the RAM, without the 10-line rules, around this core engine.
You are the champion of the Oric scene, dear rax, and I will always enjoy following your hijinks. I can only *wonder* what you will come up with if you take these mad skills in the other direction, and write a non-10-liner BASIC game, like a 1000-liner or so... but anyway, even if you don't find that worth your fancy, the things you teach us Oric nerds, even still today after so many decades, is a delightful joy. If only we'd had this genius in the 80's, the other platform would've been nuked from orbit, hint hint ..
LOVE this entry, love the platform, and much thanks to you, rax00. You are really rocking it.
I know you worked very hard on this game so I'd just like to congratulate you on the release, and say that its indeed a very addictive and fun game to play - I'll be putting this one on the kids' computer and playing it with them all week, hope to give you some feedback as we progress through the levels.
