Bungle's Acid Trip (ZX Spectrum Next)
A downloadable game
This software runs on the ZX Spectrum Next home micro - System/Next 22.10
To run, copy the folder and contents onto your Next's SD Card, then select "Bungle.bas" from the browser. It is advised that you hard reset your machine before running.
INSTRUCTIONS
Can you find your missing friends over 3 progressively harder stages? Use the cursor keys to move Bungle and push 'z' to search. Once the egg timers run out, it's Game Over. After each search you will gain a hint to the direction you should head next by an echo that you hear.

Oh come on, this is HILARIOUS! I don't want to ever leave this amazing page! :D
Had a right load of fun with this. Awesome.
Awesome!
I hate the bas files.
You do know that .bas is literally the only available format for Next Basic games, right?
what about nex file buddy ?
.nex is for machine code. You can't save a BASIC program in .nex format.
I didn´t said that buddy. I just only said why not create games in machine code as a result nex files !
That would be great. Except I don't know one single thing about machine code. And no, I'm not about to start learning it from scratch. I'm more a graphics and ideas person than a programmer.
There's no pleasing some people :)
Well, so maybe you can try learning to optimize and compile BASIC programs, and then generously share the results with us. If you need a place to start, look for the NextBuild toolkit on Github.
