Grelox: Contagion (ZX Spectrum Next)
A downloadable game
This game is for use with the ZX Spectrum Next home micro.
Receiving a distress signal from the Xicus System, Grelox has to gather vegetation from various worlds to help create a vaccine for a deadly contagion.
Grelox: Contagion is an action/puzzle game - Push and break rocks, hit switches to open doors and close floor traps, and avoid the deadly creatures that will kill you on touch!
Features:
- 100 Levels set over 10 worlds
- Auto Save
- Stage Select
- Redefinable Keys
- Joystick Control
The download includes a standard and 'no samples' alternative version to use with Spectrum Next emulators that struggle with sample playback.
EASY MODE ADDED! There is now a separate download to an Easy Mode file. Just place the .bas file in the main directory and run as normal. Easy Mode disables the collision from enemies - they can still get in the way when dropping blocks, but they will no longer kill you. This mode is ideal for those who want to focus more on the puzzle aspect of the game.
Requires System/Next v1.3.2. Written in NextBASIC.

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.
Sorry I couldn't pay full price, but I will try and pay the remainder of the full amount next month. Thanks for all the support you give to the Spectrum Next.
Any support is appreciated, thank you for whatever you are able to give.
Good game. Would like an option to turn off the enemies though because while I like the puzzle element the enemy placement and movement is quite annoying as it seems totally random and jumps character squares at a time . I spend a lot of time not moving waiting for an enemy to move out of a space I need to move in to and it can take several minutes! Also noticed a small bug. If your sd card is read only program will crash when trying to save.
Very nice, like it!
Looks nice.
Looks good
