idpixel.ru mentioned origin of the game, so it is easy to find solutions, except one or two levels.

I have discovered a bug. If you collect all disks you can go through the mirrors to the next level.

If you like it, I'll replace graphics.

If not, I have to ask help graphicians to draw sprites:

Maybe try fist another thing. Don't change the graphics, Change your animation code. Don't change the sprite each frame. Change it once for 2 or 4 frames. It should look better.

Notice that it's a game written 100% in Basic, even Break works :D Very impressive for me!

And it IS playable. I completed as for now only the first screen but it was quite enjoyable. You probably won't make it
on your first try but it's possible to learn and become better at it.

Looks better for me. Personally I would make frame change even more slower.
People, what do you think?

I think that's better, but it's still too much.

In my opinion the problem is not only the speed but the large pixel difference between frames. The tip of the hood only needs to move one or two pixels each time. The hood does not need to move so much; not moving at all would be better than the current version.

Sorry! I hate it when people suggest changes to my own games after release!

Yep - but it would be nice to link it all in ZXDB. I've realised there is an email address in the .txt file, I'll send him a message.

Yes, it's him ;) He's a Polish demoscene coder who returned to Spectrum year or two ago after 25 years long break ;)

Cheers Ralf. Sometimes madness can take hold. Sometimes it can last for 25 years. Glad he's come back to his senses :D

Night Stalker ZX

Announced at zx.pk.ru Sorry for the poor screenshot quality, I just linked to the source.

Looks like a conversion of some early existing game from another platform. Probably not a final version as file name says v01.

I understand that the chunky graphics are a part of the style ;) But one thing that certainly could be improved is turning at the corridors. The game makes a common mistake requiring that you need to be at pixel perfect position to go left/right from up/down corridor and so on.
