Blimey this is tough. Took me forever to get off the first screen.

I did an unpicked and commented version of the BASIC listing for this and, to make sure I had fully understood it teleports and all, I made sure it was definitely possible finish the game. Well even working backwards from the data it took me ages to prove to myself that it did indeed have an end that is achievable! I didn't manage to play it to completion though.

Looking forward to a @pavero map of this one.

I am amazed about the repercussion of this little game...

Thanks to all of you for the comments!

So great job! Please check comment #150, the jump reset is for screen change through the top (only by jumping), not the left.

The explanations for the code are totally correct!

(I hope Pavero does the map, too... He is a jury member in Planeta Sinclair's GOTY 2022, so I think he is going to play it... Maybe he makes the map then...🤞)

Well, well, well, ... 8-)

But I would need some help:

1) I would need to identify the correct position for rooms 1,2,3 and 4.
2) I don't know how to visit the room with the question mark.

This is so great!!! Thank you!!!

#4 goes to the top left of the map.
#1 in the blank space at the top right.
#2 in the space below #4.
#3 in the remaining space at the right of #4

To reach the ? room you have to find the right transporter... In any case here it is the missing room, in the middle of this snapshot:

Sent a PM to Pavero for correcting a bug that prevented visiting the "missing" room, and I uploaded the amended version (in .Z80 format) to my itch.io

Many thanks again, @pavero

Amazing achievement in BASIC!!! Great little game. At first I automatically assumed it was a machine code game, then I read further.
