      Ever since I finished my Dizzy game I’ve been wanting to revisit the same formula but with my own characters and graphics, and more action. Hopefully the name isn’t too cheeky a nod. I’m really happy with how it looks and feels, and hopefully I can see it through!

          Yeah that’s super nice. Just think, that hover jump would have been revolutionary back in the day! The name is perfect btw 👍

            Making strides with my wizard game. He’s now Bizzy Wizzy the business wizard, since Dave pointed out that Izzy Wizzy was already a ZX game. As you may notice, the layout is largely a mirror of my Dizzy game, with some twists and changes to suit the new movement. Plus, Dizzy was far too hard! Progress is slow but steady :D

              It looks so authentically spectrumy. Are you using like a low-res image as your framebuffer? I’m trying to figure out if you’re recreating the speccy’s ‘2 colours per screen square’ thing…

                Many thanks :) nothing that smart I’m afraid. Just some creative map editing with low-res setmode. I do wish I could emulate the Speccy’s colour clash, that would be cool, but completely beyond me!

                  I love that!! Superb,just like a Speccy classic. Please keep us updated with more pics/videos when you can! Superb work!

                  on colour clash, I agree that would be epic, can our lovely @Dave help with ideas on that? or our also lovely @pianofire ??

                    Thanks a lot Steve :D I hope the finished product lives up to the hype.. Come to think of it, the colour clash may be more worthy of a coding challenge. Anyone not familiar might just think it’s an ugly bug, rather than the brilliant feature it would be. The only way I can think would be to use map layers and transparency, but even then I think I’d be stumped.

                      It looks great, Andy! If I had just seen the video somewhere I would have been 100% sure it was a real retro game for sure. You have really nailed the aesthetic!
