        Thanks both, that’s the best feedback I could hope for! Meeting the Twins is still on my bucket list, I keep missing their events sadly

            I think it looks amazing. :) I think I'll have to have a go at writing a Dizzy game on Fuze too!

              Now that's high praise indeed - that's the father of Dizzy right there! (or at least one of them)

                Moving platforms sorted! Actually, since we have an energy bar, 3 lives and no instant death for water, I’m having to look for every opportunity for danger...

                @DizzysDad - from one Andrew to another! Thanks so much for your encouragement (I did reply to your comment on my tweet but forgot to “tag” - I barely use it!). I’m really excited to see what you come up with and my breath is already bated for Wonderful Dizzy :D

                  Since @Jonboy very kindly sent me a tile sheet, progress has been much faster. My coding is improving too - I got this working on my first try :D. The map is almost complete, then I’ll just have the puzzles to code.

                    ... and a beautiful bit of coding if I may say so! It’s not far from being finished :)

                      Ok, after 4 months and 400 hours (or more!) of fun, I can finally say, that I give to you... TYCOON DIZZY!

                      At 55 screens, it’s a standard-sized Dizzy adventure. It’s loosely themed around Monopoly (gotta have a theme!) and of course it’s in the mighty ZX style. I don’t think any of the puzzles are too fiendish, and there are clues for the harder ones.
                      The download code is NRZXVMNDXH.

                      (Oh, and if anyone is wondering whether the stress of drawing a map with pixel-perfect collisions and everything else using a controller whose analogs delight themselves in shooting upwards every 2-10 seconds was enough to trigger a breakdown... I can tell you it was.)

                                  Having played this I can say you are all in for a big surprise. This is a true labour of love. It is also perfect! Well done Andrew, you must be very pleased with how it turned out.

                                    Thanks a lot Jon! And thanks for all your help and support - especially in showing the Olivers my game!
                                    I never thought I'd be able to do all of this myself from scratch, so I'm feeling very good - and Fuze has definitely been my best Switch purchase :D
