Development

Written in a couple of days in KickAssembler for the C64 Cassette 50 Charity competition, in which all code and data has to sit below $1000 (4K) in memory. In this game I utilised a lot of stack space for lookup tables and was still left with just a couple of bytes, so no room for nice sounds, a title screen or level/complete message. 

As with other entries to the competition the downloads for play on a real machine or emulator  will not be available until the deadline has passed on March 31st.
