Super 48k Bro.
My attempt to push the 48k ZX Spectrum to its limits.
Keys O,P,M. TAP file is here if you want to run it on an emulator/real hardware. It'll need an original Sinclair machine (48k, 128k, +2), it probably won't work on Amstrad, Pentagon etc. clones, but if someone wants to mod the source to support them that'd be cool.
It's Mario style gameplay, find all the keys to open the next parts of the game.
100 pieces of battenberg collected = an extra life. Bouncing on an enemy = +5, key = +40, breaking box with your head = +10.
You can jump on any enemy which isn't spiky, holding down jump while landing on an enemy will make you bounce higher.
I made a video about how I made this game: https://youtu.be/X5T3QWbFdPg
I want to do a port of Great Giana next, then finally a version of Sonic. I'm also working on Gameboy and Amiga titles.

I've also started a coding guide for the ZX Spectrum on the same patreon page if you want to learn how it's done (it's free). Source code to this game is also on there.
Written with Z88DK in Assembly & C. Thanks to the cool kids in the Spectrum dev discord.

Hello!! Sorry for the intrusion, hehehe. My name is Felipe, and until recently, I have been editing games for the Spectrum on cassette. Due to personal and work reasons, I’m going to stop editing, and I'm saying goodbye with a compilation of homebrew games for The Spectrum on USB. I want it to be the best and most complete compilation of homebrew games that has ever been made. It will be a non-profit edition, just to provide users of The Spectrum with a pack to spend hours and hours in front of their ZX. I’ve seen some of your games on http://Itch.io and wanted to ask if you would be interested in contributing any of your ZX games to this compilation. I already have legendary creators from the scene on board, but I’d also like to reach out to you. It can be one game, two, or as many as you want, in .TAP format. Even simply granting me permission and letting me know which games I could include would be enough, and I can download them from http://Itch.io. We have created a system where the games will be encrypted, and no one will be able to use them digitally; they will only be playable on their The Spectrum, Divide, or computer. My email is playonretro@gmail.com. Best regards, and thank you very much
The game is really impressive. Is there any way to play with joystick or is keyboard the only option? Playing on MiSTer and would love to give it a shot with a controller.
Nice game!
