Nice game and interesting to see that basic code too, thank you. I also added that to my New Games On C64 from January 2024 -video too.

Thank you for your comment, for your download and for your nice video on YouTube! 😀

I really dig the 'noid-like graphics on this one, sadly it has no sound and the basic version is slow as molasses.

With a little polish the compiled version could be quite nice. Without sound it's merely a demo imho.

Molto ben fatto e considerando che e' in basic anche poi non cosi' lento.

A questo punto se venisse compilato, sarebbe un fulmine.

Grazie! Proverò a compilarlo per vedere come viene.

Si, sarebbe interessante vedere l'aumento di prestazioni.

Poi se vuoi, potresti unirti al canale italiano telegram del sito READY64 dove ovviamente si parla solo di C64 !

Grazie, accetto volentieri l’invito! 😀
