About the Author

Hello, my friend 😉 The guys from the K&A PLUS editorial team, of which I am also an editor, asked me to tell you that your game made a very positive impression on them. Of course, your work has been reviewed in the latest issue, which has just been published 😉 Would you be interested in releasing your game? Of course, I also propose cooperation on your future titles 😉
Nice puzzle game with a great gameplay, even though the graphics are quite simple. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 02:04:20. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
very good
Great new game. I've also added it to my new video along with other recently released games. Hope you like it.
awesome! thanks for including it!
Couldn't get into this one. Found it very cumbersome to play. Maybe 5/10
nice! I’ve been testing the game on the Time Rift’s C64c. When we had the release party there, I gave him that shirt as a thank you for letting me do so. This video was a pleasant surprise!
Thank you! :) Florida Man Saves the World (2025, NSkimN8r)
great site! Bookmarked :)
Thank you! I'm also following you, played your game today on real machine it was so fun with those puzzles. :)
Love it! What a great game debut! It's been a blast following the development.
Thanks for your help and support!
A very interesting game, but I found a bug and I don't know if it only occurs on my device. Namely, every sound is quietly repeated as if it had an echo superimposed on it.
In addition, as the editor of K&A PLUS, I would like to propose the release of this game. Please feel free to contact me by email.

Hi thanks for making a video for this game! I don't hear the repeated sounds on the video, however. Can you describe your device?
The problem has already been fixed 😊 Incorrect SID configuration on the VICE emulator 😉
I just upgraded my VICE from 3.7 to 3.9, and I now here the repeating audio. I will try to see if there's a fix I can apply. I never had issues with VICE 3.7
I turned on your game again on the latest Vice and actually listen to the repeating sound again 🤔.
Nevertheless, I would still like to offer a physical release of the game by K&A PLUS 😊 Check out our website and email me.

Very nice game!
Great video, thanks for your support!
Graphics could be better, but the puzzles are quite nice. Never forget to collect the artifact before leaving a level! ;-)
Thanks for playing! I'll be happy to see when someone finally discovers Zadron. Get those artifacts! :)
Great game, thanks.
Congratulations on the release! It's such a great idea, and well executed!
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on the release!
It’s been great to watch the development progress over the last few months :D
Cheers!
