Another Dizzy!

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.)

Wow! Amazing! Can't wait to try it out.
Congratulations on finishing it!
-
Awesome! Will try it out later
-
This looks neat. Going to have to download this.
-
Never been a fan of Dizzy games but I'm so going to play this!
-
Amazing stuff @AndyG1985 you should be hugely proud. 55 Screens!!!
-
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 -
I'm so stuck :( never mind :) this is classic dizzy
-
This is very well done! Great job!
-
Been waiting for this. Can't wait to play it later today. Thanks for all your hard work!
-
You’re welcome! I’m really happy people seem to be enjoying it 😃

The Diz is back in town! (They were asking if he was still around; where he was, where he could be found!)
By which of course, I mean Tycoon Dizzy has been fixed following the update. Thanks again to all who helped! I’ve also taken on board some of the feedback and have made some improvements: among others, there’s now a rope to use on the croc so you only have to brave the jaws once, and it’s now more obvious where to use the pickaxe.
The code is NRZXVMNDXH. I’ve also recorded a play-through for anyone who’s interested but doesn’t have time (just search “tycoon dizzy!” If the link doesn’t work!).
I think there’s still some work to do before this can make the showcase (code needs tidying up quite massively, and it needs a reset feature) but this hasn’t been possible because - second bit of news - our daughter was born on Monday! A beautiful healthy girl :D.
So I’m afraid this is my semi-retirement. I hope to make it back for some game jams, just to be watching, but for the most part I need to say goodbye for the time being. I’m so happy I was able to do what I set out to with this game! I will also update my Dizzy 4 Fuze program, because I’m hoping this isn’t the end of Dizzy on the Switch!

Congratulations! On the Dizzy game and, of course, the daughter! So happy for you, having kids is amazing!
Some kids do sleep a lot, so there is always the chance that you can squeeze in some Fuze programming at odd hours... -
Thanks a lot! Here’s hoping :D
