It's a great game from back in the days of owning a ZX Spectrum and C64, however the title music has been changed from the ditty happy go lucky tune to a rather lack lustre melodic one. Also if you play on two separate devices, there is no cloud save?
I played this on my OLED Steam deck first and it looks and plays fantastic on it. I have a long haul flight in a few days so I will probably try and complete this game just like I did in the 80's.
When trying on my PC, when I entered full screen from the window, I lost all audio in the game for some reason and this persisted after closing the game and re-opening.
I will still recommend this game if you have a steam deck, but on a PC I would play it in a window.
Es una adaptación del juego original de John Rittman de los años 80's. Ha sido provisto de un una mayor calidad gráfica y sonora, lo que le convierte en un juego bellísimo, mágico. Los escenarios, con aires persas, orientales, son muy sugerentes, algunas salas parecen cuartos de juguetes antiguos, parece que todo es producto de un sueño o alucinación. La música acompaña a la perfección. Si jugabas en una máquina de 8 bits te va a encantar.
Non posso giocarci in una finestrella di pochi centimetri....Sbaglio io qualcosa ???
I played this in 2004 Why did you change the music?
It totally ruined the game atmosphere
Arh what a blast from the past hope retro spec to more games on steam. Update. after playing for a while the games now starts to cash with an unexpected error and my desktop goes black and have to sign out of windows to restart and fixes on this ?
This was the most impossible and frustrating game to play on the C64. Needless to say, I had to have this to try and finally complete what I couldn't do all those years ago.
Started playing and had a few waves of nostalgia as I remembered each of the rooms I'd seen in mono-chrome all those years ago. Got to roughly the spot I could get to on the C64, then found out there was a save option in this version!
Instant depression once it saves and says your progress is only 11%
I'm reliving part of my childhood AGAIN. It is very rewarding to play a game that I was not able to complete (or event understand) with 4 or 5 years, and see that I can finish it now.
The art is beautiful and the controls are very responsive. There are parts that are a little bit frustrating, but hey... it is a game from the 80s!
Thanks for making this remake!
I was looking forward to play this game, the graphics looks very good. But the game is unfortunately unplayable, some controls do not work. In particular, I am not able to carry objects, keys C and X do not do anything (X is just plain jumping), not even after re-mapping to other keys.
I spent several hours to figure out why I can't progress in the game, I had to watch a walkthrough in order to realize that the problem is in the missing controls.
Moreover, the program crashed several times at the beginning of a new game, fortunately not while playing.
Edit: I tried the original Retrospec non-Steam version, and it has the same problem. Perhaps it doesn't work in Win10?

It's an old game remade from the ZX Spectrum, I like the old isometrical games from the past like Knight Lore, Snake rattle N roll and Equinox but here's the catch...
The game was a freeware not so long ago but since GOG made a niche market from old games with incomplet version (for exemple i can't have the original Frenche Audio version of Alone in the dark 3, it was on the french website and museum LTF but they're closing DL pages one by one because of GOG/redcdprojekt reclamation, so preservation is killed) everybody jump onboard to resell freewares or abandonwares.
This game is not the greatest from them all, it's average, but still enjoyable and pixelart are nicely redone... no bug the only problem here is the game still playing background after closing it, even if steam says it's closed, i was surprise to see i played more than 5 hours.
And there is no reason, i suspect it's on purpose to go behind the 2 hours refund wall... I did'nt play 5 hours on this game and messing up with my stats is a no-no game... but what should i expect from a game containing a cat with feets and a dog with boxing gloves and bat wings.
9€ for a old freeware game also... buy it on discount, and if you are not interested in old iso games or you're not a boomer you probably won't buy it and that's good, you should'nt since this price is not for the new generation to discover this niche old game, I don't understand this greedy price.
Εξαιρετικό ρετρο παιχνίδι πλατφόρμας με γρίφους! Ιδίως αυτή η έκδοση που έχει αναβαθμισμένα ήχο και γραφικά (σκιές-χρώματα).
This was one of the first games that I ever loaded on the Commodore 64 that i had many many years ago, so holds a dear place in my heart. The game was well thought out and many of the rooms were quite challenging to get through. Seeing this re-make rekindled the passion to finally try and complete the game as I had never managed to do it! The game stays pretty much true to the original that I remember, apart from a few points which both help and hinder progress.
First is the addition of a shadow. This was never in the original and was always something I wished it had. Knowing your position relative to objects in the rooms was always a problem for me. With a shadow I am able to gauge that position a little better than before.
Second is the door positions. In the original the door frames were external to the rooms which meant that you could not touch them. In this re-make, they protrude into the rooms and mean that it is possible to get stuck trying to get by them. This in turn means that lives can be lost because the door frames can get in the way (especially when chased by an enemy).
Third is the enemies that chase you. They seem quicker and respond faster to you than in the original. As a result, I have had situations where falling into a room that has one or more of these enemies means that you have no escape when using the character Heels. This is due to the fact that you are unable to control Heels whilst he is falling but the enemies can still track you, meaning that life after life is lost by landing on the enemies with nothing you can do about it.
The last difference is that the game seems a little unstable. I have had the game freeze a few times and now and again the game will just close with no error message or anything. This could just be on my machine but it is something worth considering if thinking about purchasing.
Overall I like this re-make. Obviously, the graphics and sound are upgraded from that of a C64 and I am enjoying the nostalgia of playing this great little game!
Есть оригинальная игра 1987 года. Так вот конкретная игра её ремейк 2003 года. Это игра моего детства. Как только я случайно увидел её прокручивая страницы не задумываясь купил. Игра нереально сложная. В то счастливое детство когда было куча времени можно было залипать в подобные игры часами. Игра представляет собой большое количество комнат с логической задачкой почти в каждой из них. Есть два игровых персонажа, каждый со своими умениями, а когда один запрыгивает на другого, они становятся единым целым и появляются другие умения. Нужно найти все короны и затем отыскать телепорт который перенесён на финальную локацию. Игра требует филигранной точности и аккуратности в прохождение комнат. Умирать будете часто, пока не привыкните к изометрическому виду и не запомните все предметы которые вас убивают. К ознакомлению обязательно.
- Stretched in widescreen
- Dubious controller support
- Process continues running after the game terminates
A sloppy cash grab
My favourite game from the days of the ZX Spectrum. This is a fantastic remake staying completely true to the original. Today's gamers may find it a bit on the slow side, but stick with it - it's incredibly good fun!
