I found a bug while playing so let me know if you're needing bugs to be reported at this stage.
Thank you for playing the game and finding the bug. Please do let me know here, or by PM whichever you prefer. If it is the one about when you die on Ski Slope and restart from there, I am now aware of it and gonna fix it tonight on stream :D
When I got run over while crossing the road, it left my splat remains on the road but I wasn't re-incarnated. The traffic kept moving as if nothing happened, and the game could not continue. I tested on SpecEmu in 48k mode.

TAP file for this game is available on Itch Io https://retrocodertv.itch.io/spikie-goes-skiing-zx.

Also hoping it will be added to the database here, so that I can link to it from my channel in due course :D

If you need a really small routine to redefine and read keys, I suggest DEFKEY.

The documentation is here.
