itch.io

Hi Lee, as you can tell I don't check my itch.io very often or the Spectrum Computing Forum either. Glad I got your email from Richard. Good to know I've got a few contacts for you now 😁👍

Okay. Thanks for letting me know 😊👍

Can I ask why The Next War is no longer available here. I had it on my old PC but when it died I lost the file. I have a new PC and wanted to play the game again. Hope you can help. Cheers.

No worries mate

Hi Felipe, Sorry for the late response. I haven't checked my itch.io for a few weeks. Please feel free to use Mage Rage, Mazania - Mage Rage Part II and Alien Slaphead in your compilation.

Regards, John. 

Nice one mate. I'm having a blast in this right now, at 2:30 in the morning :D

Good things come to those who wait :)

Nice one. I enjoyed your other video without the bug too 😊👍

Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you very much 😊👍

Nice one Dom

Thanks mate

Thanks mate. I think I will 😊👍 

Thanks mate

Thanks mate, and thanks for doing the video. Is it fine to use the video on this page?

Cool! I hope you enjoy it. It'll probably be up this weekend.

No worries mate. I didn't think I was worthy of two interviews LOL

Another one? I found myself in issue 249 mate 😊👍

Fantastic video. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Thanks very much

No problem. It would be a shame if little bugs ruined a very fun game. Fingers crossed it's all fixed 😁👍

I am enjoying it very much. The poop weapon is hilarious. Unfortunately I think I found another bug.  On the screen where there's a crate on the right that you can use to jump up  onto a platform it was all fine. I went right on to the next screen to have a look. That was also fine, but when I went left to go back to the previous screen your little doggy had disappeared. The game was still running just no dog on screen anywhere.

Interesting game. I like the poop idea. Just to let you know there is a small bug in the game. When you redefine keys left and right are in reverse. I'm going to play your game properly this weekend.

Thanks very much mate. It was my second game and my first mini sprite game. I wanted to make something a bit like Atari VCS Adventure. I should probably give it another go with a slightly different game now I know coding a bit more than I did

Thanks mate 😍👍

Your game is beautiful. The graphics are amazing, even the colour clash doesn't mess things up, and having the player only able to collect one item at a time is a wonderful idea as it allows you to explore many screens and collecting each item is a little puzzle in itself. I also like how each item helps to build up the scene in the den. I love the little messages, the location names, the time limit, actually having a score. I tried the game out and managed to collect 8 items.  I will give it a proper go when I get more spare time. I'm not joking when I say this game is better than any mole or willy game I've played. It's one of the best platform games I've played on the Spectrum. I reckon it'll score 90%+ in Crash, It definitely should. Congratz on a fantastic job 😊👍

Nice one. Get all your cool stuff on here 😊👍

Thanks very much mate. I've been told it's a bit difficult but I hope you get the hang of it and still enjoy it. I've completed it a fair few times but then I've play tested at least a hundred times 😂

Thanks mate, really appreciate the video and the fact that you got past the little puzzles and discoveries that many people gave up on. There's only 3 or 4 really difficult screens after you get to the snowmen so hopefully you'll get to see a lot more of the game. There's 25 screens in all plus an finish game screen. Here's a map https://maps.speccy.cz/map.php?id=PercyPenguininthePresentPalaver

Thanks Saberman. Sorry for the late reply.

I used a fork of AGD called AGDx Mini. I've used it for everything besides my first game which was in AGDx.

Thanks

Thanks. Is it fine to use your video in here? I did one but haven't uploaded it to YouTube.

You're welcome :)

Thanks. The Spectrum has some vibrant colours

Thanks. Glad you like it.

Thanks mate. You're right. It's not an easy game but with a lot of practice you'll be able to finish all 30 levels and get to the congratz screen. I did quite a lot of research for the places in the UK and it's geographically correct in a clockwise circle around the UK.  Some of the buildings are correct for the places too. I got inspiration from an old BBC Micro game called Daredevil Dennis. This game is an evolution of that.
