Indeed. Just give one colour (from the Spectrum palette) to each sprite and you can't go wrong.
Improves gameplay, looks nice and still feels like a Spectrum game

Re: ZX Recoloring project
Hi again!
A quick preview of my work so far with Batty. I've just recoloured the bats, balls, aliens and bombs (In the original game they were the same colour as the background). I've added a 'get ready' chime, 'game over' chime and title/in-game music by Matthew Westcott (In the original game there were no chimes or music, only spot effects)

Recently we re-coloured Eric and the Floaters and Black Raven for 16 colours (NedoOS project).
This took time, but the result can be run at least on Russian clones (ATM Turbo 2 and on).

Rewriting the original game code for a very different hardware should be called "porting" and "converting", not just "recoloring".Alone Coder wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 10:13 am Recently we re-coloured Eric and the Floaters and Black Raven for 16 colours (NedoOS project).
