Santron

Santron is a fast-paced vertical shoot-em-up for the Commodore 64 (PAL).

This game is a special Christmas version of Neutron, a game that was entered in RGCD's C64 16KB Cartridge GameDev Compo 2019.

All programming, graphics, and sound by Sarah Jane Avory.

(C) 2019 Protovision.

NB: Although the game has been coded for PAL, it will run quite happily on an NTSC machine, just at a faster speed.
