Thanks Galadh for this wonderful comment. We have many more future plans up our sleeves and the restriction of 64k won't stop us from making them happen :)

A new game for the Commodore 64 inspired by Henry's House (1984). But much more casual - made for today's standards.
You are Timo McClane. Scottish Prince of a noble house. You broke with royal traditions, but after your parents died under mysterious circumstances, you reluctantly inherited a country estate with a small castle. Together with your girlfriend Amber, you take on the task of putting the neglected castle back in order. But something is wrong. A forgotten pain returns. The castle is cursed and Amber has suddenly disappeared. Can you lift the curse and save the love of your life?
- Single screen platformer with 8 lovingly designed spaces
- Goal is to collect all items, then pick up the key and unlock the exit
- Many surprises, hidden bonuses and familiar references to a 70's/80's/90's childhood all the way
- Normal and Easy (no fall damage) mode
- Endless continues from the room Timo has last reached
- Fantastic end screen (not easy to get to) with its own dedicated music track
- High score list is saved to disk
- Arcade feeling: 50hz and no loading times during the game (single load game)
- Simply put: Compact fun and a love letter to the early C64 gaming with today's gameplay standards
Timo's Castle is now listed on Lemon64:

Thank you for all the Buzz and positive comments so far. We will try hard or even harder to make our next game just as much fun.
Thank you C64 Gamer. "Skilfully" is valid in UK English. Here in Europe we tend to align with UK English, not US. But "with with" cannot be excused. I'll correct that asap. It will be fixed with the next version 1.1. In case we make a separate NTSC version (vs integrated in the existing file) I may take the time to apply US English. Why not make it a proper US release. :)
Thank you 🙏 . It is one screen = one level. What you see is what you get. Compact fun! We tried to make a game that everybody can eventually play through. That's why we implemented next to normal mode an easy mode for kids and beginners.
More challenge comes with beating the high score: Time bonus gives more points the faster you complete a level. Speedrunners welcome 🤗.
