Finally decided to participate, after I did some experiments with a small prototype. Puzzler is not the final name, since that is not decided yet, but it's the working name for an hybrid puzzle game loosely inspired in several other puzzle/match-3 games like: Tetris, Columns, Lumines, Puzzle Bobble, Bejeweled, etc...
It will be a puzzle game based on puzzle/match-N like mechanics, but with a twist.
The game is being developed on part time for about a month now.
Doesn't use any engine, and everything is being done from scratch, to squeeze everything I can from the Speccy.
It will run on a 48K Spectrum, with support for AY music, made by Pedro Pimenta.
Development screenshots will be posted, when available.

Hi Rui! A pleasure to have you again in a ZX Dev! Interesting enough, this is the first puzzle in the compo  Very interesting to see that it will be a complex puzzles that will take elements from different games, that serve as inspiration/demake Looking forward to seeing it progressing! |

Thanks, I always like to participate, when I can. I know the community usually prefers shooters and similar, but I believe this genre still has some exploring left to do on ZX. |

Man! I´m trying to guess what kind of puzzler is coming up, a bit hard from the images but.... Is it something on the lines of tetris/mario doctor?
