Thank you for mentioning RetCon in the review - it's much appreciated! I've just posted a comment asking if you'd be willing to add a link to the event's Facebook page... A bit cheeky, I know, but the game is effectively an event exclusive in the UK.
I had a chance to see the ULAPlus version for the first time at our Club meeting yesterday, as some of the other members have Speccy Nexts.

Nice that you played the ULAplus version. Lee did a great job with it too.
If you have by any chance a ZX-HD, ZX Uno or Sizif board, you can also play the ULAplus version.

I missed this one first time round (added to the DB queue now). Most people have moved on to developing with MPAGD, but Mr Chops is still getting great results with good old AGD. This one is a bit less barmy than the Mr Hair games. Still bloody hard though.
For anyone with a 128K, or an emulator, and has thumbs, here's a QAOP-Space hack:

Recently saw the review of this in Crash... it's... Interesting.
The RetCon crew were thrilled to have a game like this tailored to our event, so the way the review opens by using "RetCons" as a generic term for retro gaming events is frustrating. Part of the reason for getting the game was to raise awareness of RetCon... It's even got our event logo on the loading screen and title screen, and physical copies are still available via the event's Facebook page... the one source not listed in the review.

Especially when the publisher had a stall at RetCon in 2022...
