Woot! ZXMAS Tape Magazine 2018

[R-Tape]

I've played through the final version of Bean Brothers to refresh my distant (and very hazy) memory of the long hot month of July for bug testing the later versions of the game. There are some bugs and strange features that were reported that remain within the final version game, this is due to AGD being an utter gitbag, memory hog and the compiler crashing when it is looked at in a certain way.
So, don't try and jump through walls on certain levels, be careful of locking the characters within doors and don't feed Dave after midnight or he'll ride his A-bike over your toes and it'll bloody hurt for weeks!

Argh. There was one bug I could have fixed, but forgot. Either you or Mikhail suggested a 'quit level' option. Someone at zx.pk.ru has reported getting trapped on this level:



I *think* this is the only time you can get properly trapped. I really can't be arsed fixing all 6 versions before xmas, so for now:

POKE 32055,5* completes the level.
POKE 32057,<>0 kills player

*or your favourite number between 1 and 254

I have just been playing Buzzxsaw for an hour. Great puzzle game.

You know there's a more colourful version? LoL
This version only exists because you can't play multicolour games on the GBA Spectrum emulator on a GBMicro.
Also suitable for 16-bit era emulators. So you can run it on an emulator in an ST emulator!

For those who haven't figured it out in the BunnyGun weapons demo, different coloured tokens swap characters; if you wait for another token of the same colour, you get a power-up. And holding fire does something different for each weapon. Also releasing and re-holding sometimes helps.

Cracked a few brain cells on Your Crackers M'Lord and solved all 32 puzzles, those jokes are ha-ha funny!

@bobfossil , I owe you a fiver: I said Mat would take less than 24 hours to complete it, you said less than 48. Dang.

Completed during 2 hours, a new record?
