Wow that's quite a party.

Yes certainly*, generally anything more than a tune or a screen. So the LowEnd Intros, Demos, Procedural graphics, Wild etc will be added.

*you can browse demos on SC by going to the homepage, select "Scene: Demo" for Genre and click 'Search', it brings up all demos currently in ZXDB.

Okay, the snare drum in this one is pretty badass.

Aye that caught my ear too, but PUSHAF really leapt out at me.

That AER has a touch of the Aphex Twin about him (that's a compliment ).

Totally. Reminds me of Ben Daglish's percussion?

Is it ULAplus or some Timex mode? How does one take a representative screenshot?

I'm playing with the timing modes on EmuZWin but still I can't see anything similar to the video. I see the palette rotation, but a lot of flickering.

I think it’s (a) Pentagon-specific timing-wise and (b) uses that nasty 50-at-25-fps mode that works only on some LCD TVs. Never was a big fan of that trick.

Cheers. Can you (or anyone) provide a representative screenshot?

there are no screenshot : typical issue with timings

Thanks! How did you find it?
The author name - "Paweі Sіawiсski" seems Polish to me but could be Russian as well, yet some letters are probably wrong here, could you check it?

yes, he is a Polish.

I parsed levels.dat to obtain 30 levels, and I write engine - it was very easy toimplement rules of game.

This is the game g0blinish converted.

Great game, very hard.

I get it now

Pawel Slawinski wrote a game for PC DOS.
Goblinish made a remake for Spectrum.

Yes, game hard. For me tooks 4 days to complete levels and to understand how mirror works.

While working on several other games at the same time it seems! What are you putting in your coffee?

only beer xD

goblinish, it looks like you like to convert old Polish logical games for Spectrum... First Rogue, now Spych.

Maybe you could try with Heartlight?
