2024-05-12 - Initial release


After a week of playtesting, chopping and changing things; reducing the amount of text (who knew wordy clues took so much memory?) adding an attract mode screen (no text unfortunately - but there are instructions in the pre-game load)... it is live. 

AND I FIXED THE WORMS.

(It was a line in the wrong place. Shouldn't be checking if they're trapped after I've checked there is space below so they can fall, should I?)

As always with these, I expect that in spite of my testing, some bugs will appear. If anyone spots anything, please drop a comment below please. The game can be completed. I've managed it about a dozen times on various play throughs.

I'll continue playtesting this week and see if anything breaking jumps out at me. And then I'll work on some of the bonus DLC game content. Yes! Free bonus games. First of which will be Shovel Duck II: A minor panic.

Enjoy!

Nice games. I played this base game and the first bonus game. I also added them to my new "Gameplay of New ZX Spectrum Games from May 2024" video. Go check it out, I hope you enjoy the videos.

Thank you for sharing the video. It's good to see these gameplay videos and how easy/ difficult people find the games. It looks like you had gotten the hang of everything pretty well.

Also I find that your videos are a great reminder of how many games were actually released last month, and there are some brilliant ones in there. Thank you for making the videos and for sharing.
