Game made 2022

Having conquered the musical world nearly 200 years prior, fate has given you a second chance!
Mysteriously brought to life, you find yourself imprisoned, alongside other great composers of the past, in a musical detention camp of the future. Spiritual darkness threatens to beat down the souls of aspiring talents here, under the regime of an Elvis wanna be. Who is this audacious "Mike the Guitar", erecting barriers before the musical genius of such masters, declaring "Thus far and no farther"?
Break out of prison and collect the necessary instruments to rescue your fellow composers. Perhaps then, you can "seize fate by the throat", and maybe even the one who captured you...

Ta Ta Ta Taaa!!!!

Hi mate, you should try the 128k version. There is a fixed one to download! Thanks to give it a go. Maybe you should take a look at the instructions and/or a walkthrough video, you will now what to do;-) Have fun :-)

Thanks for the tip! I would like to watch the game again. Since I can only show it via emulation (Speccy) in our liveshow, I hope that it works better with the new version. 🙂

Ich bin mir sicher, es  klappt diesmal besser ;-) Sonst schließen wir uns vorher nochmal kurz!

LG,  Sebastian

Congratulations. At first it may seem a bit simple, but when you start playing you realize that it is very addictive, with a frenetic rythm that does it impossible for you to stop before finishing it and with a very interesting point of strategy. Very good job.

Thanks a lot. It was fun for the team to create the game, especially the ULA PLUS version. Pedro's version of Moonlight Sonata is so cool. I am sure Louis would have loved it! I am really proud that the "Hallowed Knight" played and liked our game :-)

This games gets the Herm Firm 10/10 approval. 

Many thanks for your brilliant walkthrough. Don't miss the physical release of the game. Coming soon (means not that late ;-))
Cheers,
Seb

Congratulations for the game, it looks like you use 24x24 sprites, what agd version have you used for it? Kind regards!

Hi mate, i used AGDmaxi. Allan squished most of the bugs of the engine. Now it is working fine :-) Thanks for playing the game!

I am into Amiga (okay, also C64), but this game looks (and sounds) just fantastic! Congratulations for the release.

Thanks a lot! Hmh, i hope to find some commodorians to convert the game. I will keep you updated :-)
