Good evening

This is my new game: ZUKINOX.

This time is a different game. It's a Cybernoid similar game (just similar).

Hope you enjoy it! :)

Just one thing: you can carry a ship part AND a FUEL container at the same time!

Wow, looks great!

How to take the fuel?

Jaime_Grilo

Hello!

Yerzmyey...
you have to collect the WHITE containers, not the YELLOW (like a drum?)
(press the square twice to see the example image)

And remember: YOU CAN CARRY A PART OF SPACESHIP AND A FUEL CONTAINER AT THE SAME TIME!

Nice one Jaime!

This is my favorite game of yours so far.

Jaime_Grilo

Thank you, Alessandro.

it's an honor for me a compliment from a great programmer like you.

So what is the point of the yellow fuel containers. Seems a bit confusing.

Very good game though.

Jaime_Grilo

It's just a piece of scenario.
But it's on purpose... Like the part of the ship that is not a part of it. ;)

Here's the version with the proper loading screen...

Hope you enjoy it!

Great! A professionally released game. With good graphics, great music and all credits.
The only inconvenience is that emulator users will never see the loading screen.
Let's try to add Pause 200 before the game starts. The screen will be displayed for 4 seconds or until a key is pressed.
Seems easy to open the game in ZX Editor, add PAUSE 200 in the Basic loader and save as a new .tap file.
In fact this is not so easy in Basic.
When you add it after loading the screen, but before loading other blocks, pressing Space will break the loading.
When you add it after USR 25500, in line 60, this is the best choice, the system will wait 4 seconds, but is not responsive to keyboard.
When you add it after the last block, the music is already playing and Pause or For-Next will hang or reset the system.

Is the 4th tune "Crimsonland" used in the game? I have heard only 3 tunes - menu, in-game and game over.

Not true. You can see the loading screen if you don´t have the flashload enabled...

Not if you turn of the flashload or fastload in your emulator (ZXSpin, Fuse or Spectaculator).

Hummm... I've tried in Basin and BasinC and in both programs i can't insert a new line in basic loader (maybe i don't know the key to do that).
I've tried in ZX-Blockeditor and only i can do is insert a number of "pause in ms", but with no delay when the game starts in fastload/flashload.

Yes, it is! The file is Xworld.pt3 but running with Vortex Tracker II we can see the reference "xlife:crimsonland". :)
