The last news story from me today, as thanks to a recent contact by the developer(Amaweks) and our good friend Saberman(YT), we've been told if you remember playing the famous platformer of the Great Giana Sisters which was released from 1987 onwards. Then you may like the latest Amaweks ZX Spectrum game of 'Marlow'. A game in which the developer says is a platformer for the ZX Spectrum 128k, inspired by "The Great Giana Sisters". To coincide with this news, as ever we've got some more information about the game as well as a gameplay video below.
This is what the website says about the game. "Malow in Apocalyptic Acid World is a platform game for ZX Spectrum 128k, inspired by "The Great Giana Sisters." What? You thought the inspiration came from a certain mustached plumber? No way… Navigate this vast apocalyptic world by jumping, stomping on enemies, collecting crystals, throwing molotov cocktail, and breaking blocks with your head across 4 worlds, in a total of 17 levels and 5 Boss battles".
Dev Notes :
- This project was only possible thanks to MPAGD Gen2, modified version of the engine by Xavisan, that expands memory usage beyond the 48kb, without which the complex title screens, introduction, and ending, as well as the large number of music tracks, screens, and code, would not have been possible.
Marlow Key Features:
- 5 Bosses and 17 stages Spread through 2 Episodes (2 programs)
- 7 catch sound tracks (more info on readme.txt)
- 10 Full screen illustrations (loading, title, intro cutscenes and endings)
- Fluid gameplay mechanics in a style rarely seen on the ZX Spectrum
Thank you very much. I hope people enjoy the game.
