A downloadable game
A game presented to the BASIC 10Liner Contest (2024) modality Extreme-256.
Story:
On the winter darkest night, beings from another planet descent over the Finish steppe with no good intentions. The light show and the loud noise produced by the starship has awaken our protagonist from its winter hibernation. He is furious and hungry but, to his surprise, the field seems full of appetizing arachnids. These visitors will soon discover that his 8bit-like insect shape could never be more dangerous.
Objective:
The objective is to eat as many alien bugs as possible, avoiding crashing with the walls, snake own body, and death tombstones. Aliens can jump after some time. Stage will change after enough aliens have been eaten.
Controls:
With the keyboard using OPQA keys:
O - left
P - right
Q - up
A - down.
Any other key will pause the game.
Launching the game:
The game has been tested in "fuse" emulator, but it should work fine in any emulator suporting Spectrum 16k or 48k.
IMPORTANT: The game is not compatible with 128k BASIC; therefore the emulator must be configured for 16k or 48k Spectrum. (See manual for precise fuse instructions). For 128k Spectrum models, the machine should be set in 48k BASIC mode before loading the game. The game will load in 128k mode, but it won't work properly.

Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.
That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.
The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.
The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.
It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.
If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.
Juan.
