Jumpin' Jupiter (ZX Spectrum)
A downloadable Jumper
Welcome, welcome, welcome, to Jumpin' Jupiter!
In the future, the last cups of tea have have been scattered across the solar system. Our heroine, Jupiter, is on a mission to get them back at all costs!
Jumpin' Jupiter is a Manic Miner style linear platformer that starts on the (Space!) Moon, and ends on Pluto - 35 levels of classic Speccy platforming action!
The game received a lovely score of 8/10 from Planeta Sinclair :O

Nice game. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:44:50. Automatic subtitles are also available (turn on, if necessary). Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
I like it very much!
That's very kind, thank you! :)
Looks and plays great :) Can you add joystick support please ?
Thank you very much!
Unfortunately, the software used to make the game doesn't support joysticks as far as I know (just as it doesn't support sound fx)
There may be some work-around using emulators perhaps? I'll have a look!
QS =D
Maybe you could do redefinable keys ? That way we could use sinclair joysticks !
Alas, PGD (Platform Game Designer, which I used to make this) doesn't support joysticks or definable keys or sound :O
I've learned my lesson though, and I'm now using MPAGD for future games which lets you use Kempston or Sinclair joysticks, as well as define your keys!
Sorry 'bout that!

I use Retro Virtual Machine as my Speccy emulator and it will map the controller to Kempston (I think there is a way to map it differently too, but I'm not 100% on that!) - either way, it lets you use a controller to play Sheep's games with and it's a fine emulator :) .. https://www.retrovirtualmachine.org/en/
I didn't know that! Nice one!
And I *love* the emulator as if it were my own tiny lamb ! Thanks for introducing me to it!
(also - new game this weekend! Spread the word!)
