Great fun!

Is this your first machine code game?  If so how did you take the step from  MPAGD to ASM?

Small bug, though it's kind of cute: the score should be stored as a 16bit number as it overclocks at 255 ÷)

Ahhhh good spot - user testing was limited! I actually coded the game in boriel basic. I've written a few c64 games in machine code, but yet to take that step on the speccy.

I got 105 on this. I could've streamed it live at the time of recording, like Instant Video Cassettes in the similarly-named film - but since that was around 2am, everyone sensible would be in bed. So, I scheduled it for this morning :D

Music after game over - toooooo loooooong)

Time to contemplate? :)

I think is a good job! Interesting and addictive!

Thank you :)
