Unfinished
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
A ZX-Spectrum inspired (but not strictly playing by the rules of) platformer about trying to figure out your way in a castle of sorts. Unfinished.
With this game I was trying to capture a feeling of bewilderment I had when I was a child. A feeling of not at all understanding how a video game works and just trying to get as far as possible in the game's world, to learn it and make it my own. A feeling of reading walkthroughs for games I never played and overanalyzing room names and patterns I saw over and over again because I wasn't very good at video games. I probably did not succeed with capturing this feeling though, since the game is not finished and never will be.
The game was too big for me to make, I dropped it, and now the feeling is gone, the world is different, I'm different, but the game is still there. At least a part of it.
So I decided to release it as is, as a tribute to unfulfilled dreams or something.
Also I think it's pretty fun for what is there, albeit maybe a bit difficult at times.

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

uh-oh, let me check if I can fix that.
