People are still making stuff for the Sinclair related machines. Tell us about new games and other software that runs on the Spectrum, ZX80/ZX81, Pentagon and Next.
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.
The difficulty is fine (I have solved the first 5 levels quite quickly), much easier than Beams of Light. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=31498
(BTW g0blinish, didn't you promise a RZX for this game? )
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 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.

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!
