Incredibly disappointing that after paying for this game to support its development that after hearing of reports of bugs, within minutes of playing level 1, it is impossible to jump out of this area.

I will agree about the unintended "double jump" "feature". Also ducking unexpectedly off ladders too.

One "bug" I have found is that when you start level 5, go up the ladder, go right, you can then jump off the platform into the middle of the two doors and get stuck. Only way out is to suicide yourself.

Have you thought about making Commander X16 version?

Here are a few details about the bugs found that affect the current version 2.0.1 which has been tested with the built-in trainer for infinite lives. In the first level, there is apparently a point where you end up directly in level 4, instead of in another room as initially assumed (see 05:56:30 and 06:04:31 in our longplay video). Furthermore, at the end of level 3 there were two keys left that apparently had no use. In level 4, a key is "swallowed" by the game or simply swapped for the master key found in the 4th slot if you do not follow a specific order for using the keys and all slots are already occupied with keys (see 07:12:40). This means that a key is missing in the level, so you cannot open the last door before the main exit and thus cannot complete the level. If you have used the keys for some doors beforehand, the problem does not occur (see 07:30:54). In level 5, you can't pick up a key or a potion at a certain point, and then suddenly you can pick them up again after you've moved away a few rooms and then come back there (see 08:03:42). There are also a few rooms where you can get stuck in the wall. The controls are sometimes very frustrating, as you often do unwanted double jumps if you hold down the fire button for a little longer. 🙁

Would it be possible to have a mode with two SIDs where the first SID plays music and the second SID sound effects? Or does that create problems with lack of CPU time or would you run out of memory?

Amazing aestetic. Love the pixelated cartoon style graphics (But why use generative AI on the cover?). While the game looks sublime, I don't think the music fits the game, and it makes no room for sound effects. Nevertheless I applaud your achievement.

Fantastic game.  I started playing it and was instantly hooked.  I made it to the end (using infinite lives of course) and really enjoyed it.  I did encounter a possible bug.  I jumped and ended up inside a wall and couldn't move.  But I could still jump, so I kept jumping until I encountered a tunnel and then everything worked normal again.

Breathtaking game; and the jump in the longplay at 19:30 was nuts. Enjoy!

A few tiny niggles already. Startup resetting the VIC-II and displaying version number means that the default colours for border and backround are set. Better keep as black to prevent the blue flash.

In game holding F1 to cycle the colours causes the screen to glitch as $DC01 is not checked against being equal to the previous value before changing colour.

Yellow screen means that the score is not visible.

You should pad the CRT (ie unused space) with $FF and not $00.

Did I misunderstand that the full version of this game was released yesterday?

Absolutely beautiful! Finally got a chance to play. Really looking forward to the finished game on the Commodore64. Will give the Atari 800 version a go too on my new mini :-)

does anyone else have this problem? Some games I try to download and I get a blank Install box, had this problem seemingly forever.  I'm on Windows 11, latest. My To Location: is filled out, but the Install:  is blank. Can't download or install it.

Looks lovely. Trying now!

Good job! /c64universe.wordpress.com/2024/01/17/tony-montezumas-treasure-preview/

Warning, contrary opinions ahead: Snowflakes must not read on.

Ugh. Black&White ugliness should stay on the Spectrum. We have 16 colors available, how about using them! Not a fan of this at all. Quite frankly, I hate this look - reminds me of the Spectrum crap that is all too prevalent on the C64. I thought these cancerous days were over, seems I was wrong :(

Update (and reply to Roysterini, as I got blocked from replying directly):

No tricks, just my honest opinion. I am not as ass-kissing machine, if that bothers you that's your problem not mine. Now, the graphics might look nice to you, but in my opinion black & white only graphics are a bye-product of the dastardly Sinclair era and should be forgotten already. There is nothing good about that look, no matter how nice you think they are drawn. Let's leave it at that.

this rox!! DO BURGERTIME!!
