A downloadable game

The year is 1569 and Portugal developed a crazy space program for the time, using a cannon to toss a lander into lunar orbit.

The lander is called Lua and is made of, well, wood. What else? The vertical thrust system is a homemade jet of sewage water, however, the lateral guidance system is state of the art and stabilised to avoid drifting.

Try to land on the green pads, by keeping the vertical speed denoted by VY below 5.8 m/s. Horizontal/vertical controls do not work at the same time!

Keys:

  • space - thrust
  • o - move left
  • p - move right

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

That's a lot of stuff!  Thanks for sharing. :)

Thank you for the feedback. This game was initially just for my own nostalgia and I didn't really mean to release it, as it's not polished enough in my opinion. However, at the same time, I found it addictive to play and thus I shared it here so that other people could play it. Now I'm wondering whether to improve it or start a version two from scratch, with better graphics and controls.
