Retrobot’s Christmas Caper – ZX Spectrum Next https://level48.co.uk/blog/2024/12/23/retrobots-christmas-caper-zx-spectrum-next/ https://level48.co.uk/blog/2024/12/23/retrobots-christmas-caper-zx-spectrum-next/#respond Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:54:17 +0000 https://level48.co.uk/?p=52 Yesterday, we released a new teaser game for our upcoming game, “O”. This is what Chris Wilkins said in a Facebook post:

“Around this time last year, we gave out a small XMAS demo of our game in development, O. It was downloaded over 2,500 times and proved hugely popular, with the winner of the fastest time to clear the single level getting a Fusion Retro Books £100 voucher. Actually, there were 2 with the same time!

This year we are doing it all over again. This time there are 2 screens to get through, and it’s the person with the most time left on the clock after completing both screens that is the winner.

I will give a Fusion Retro Books £150 voucher to the person with the most time left by 10pm on the 27th December.

Post a screenshot of the final screen, once the game is completed, in the comments.

Please read the instruction screen so you have some idea what you have to do. This is important 🙂

You can get the game here: https://retrobeachman.com/download/RetrobotsChristmasCaper.nex

The game will run on CSPECT and original hardware.

Coding by Dave Sonic Clarke, graphics by Simon Butler, music/SFX by Paul Hesso.

The full game is planned to be on release at the end of January or thereabouts.

Good Luck!”
