Spych
Thanks! How did you find it?
The author name - "Paweі Sіawiсski" seems Polish to me but could be Russian as well, yet some letters are probably wrong here, could you check it?

I parsed levels.dat to obtain 30 levels, and I write engine - it was very easy toimplement rules of game.

goblinish, it looks like you like to convert old Polish logical games for Spectrum... First Rogue, now Spych.

Maybe you could try with Heartlight? ;)

No, the game is only distributed as cassette + CD-ROM with files for emulators and/or memory card-based interfaces.

It is offered together with a revised version of Death Pit by Clive Townsend, of which Doom Pit is the official sequel.

Neat. Took me a shocking 34 moves and was rewarded by a nice wobbly fairground style beeper ditty.

Is there just one level?

Nice game but seems quite hard. Very easy to make a false move and get stuck.

Animation of main sprite should be corrected in my opinion. The frames of animation change too fast. It's especially visible at
the hood which flickers totally crazily when you move.
