This is my variation on Montezuma's Revenge. Simple mechanics. Several test levels.

MSX1 and SG-1000:

Pretty fluid and seems lots of fun. Downloading!

Nice timbers on the music also.

Thanks for developing and sharing!

Worth a new homebrew entry in File-Hunter :-)

It would be great if we could use trigger button to jump (in addition to the "up" button). Pressing a button is much more precise than using the direction of a stick.

I changed to Joystick Port 1 (Fire A) - it works on the emulator, I don't know about real hardware:

I feel it is far much more handy.
Now I can finish the first level in one go.
Well, the second level is really hard...

Maybe you should do the same on the keyboard and allow the [space] button to be used to jump.

Next time, I'll add two control options and add a few levels. Oh, the game currently has 5 levels, 6 will be empty and unplayable (it won't be a bug, it just hasn't been drawn / set).
