Hello!! Sorry for the intrusion, hehehe. My name is Felipe, and until recently, I have been editing games for the Spectrum on cassette. Due to personal and work reasons, I’m going to stop editing, and I'm saying goodbye with a compilation of homebrew games for The Spectrum on USB. I want it to be the best and most complete compilation of homebrew games that has ever been made. It will be a non-profit edition, just to provide users of The Spectrum with a pack to spend hours and hours in front of their ZX. I’ve seen some of your games on http://Itch.io and wanted to ask if you would be interested in contributing any of your ZX games to this compilation. I already have legendary creators from the scene on board, but I’d also like to reach out to you. It can be one game, two, or as many as you want, in .TAP format. Even simply granting me permission and letting me know which games I could include would be enough, and I can download them from http://Itch.io. We have created a system where the games will be encrypted, and no one will be able to use them digitally; they will only be playable on their The Spectrum, Divide, or computer. My email is playonretro@gmail.com. Best regards, and thank you very much
Excellent game with valentine theme. I've also added it to my new "Gameplay of New ZX Spectrum games from February 2025" video, along with other recently released games. Hope you enjoy the video.
Absolutely outstanding, you've done it again 🤩 You have truly captured the essence of the magical world of gaming. Your game stands out from the crowd with its unique style and goes its own way without caring what the other games are doing. A true classic that has a perfectly challenging difficulty level for the average gamer. Exciting when you get to find out which path you can take to finally reach the exit. Very rewarding and so much fun. Keep it up 👍 Thank you very much!
Thank you for your kind comments! Glad you enjoyed the game; I have more games planned and a few things I'm working on at the moment so there should be more games later this year. Thank you again!
Excellent news! I admire your talent, you engineers make life extra exciting. I will definitely check out your other games. Thanks for the reply and good luck!
I have discovered that three lives in your game are way too few. Five lives would be more reasonable for most of us if we are to have even the slightest chance of seeing the game in its entirety and all its glory.
I get stuck at level 7 and have still trained many hours. At that level it is easy to lose the few lives you have left and have to start over again and again and again... Since life unfortunately does not have infinite hours, it is easy to give up when you get stuck. It would also make it easier if you found an extra life or two during the game.
Still looking forward to playing your game every night, I haven't given up yet. Thanks again for the amazing games😊
Hey there, thanks for the feedback. It definitely aims to be a challenging game (I've seen others use "save states" and "rollback" features of modern emulators to get around the 3 lives limit). I'll definitely consider putting out a "5 lives" version in the near future, and adding "extra lives" pickups to future games.
