A downloadable game

GET READY TO DANCE!

DESCRIPTION

This game was made to participate in the CPC Retrodev 2022, and it is our first game for the Amstrad CPC computer.

You play as Disco Mike, who was having fun in the best disco of the city, when suddenly some zombies joined the party! Disco Mike won't let anyone ruin his night, even if they are zombies, so grab your vinyls, step on the dance floor and show them the moves.

To progress in the game, you will have to defeat rounds of dancing zombies by throwing vinyls at them, once you finish them all, you will step on to the next level.

HOW TO PLAY

This is an Amstrad CPC videogame. You can play it in a real CPC computer or using an emulator. We recommend Retro Virtual Machine (RVM) and Winape. Download the CDT file and run it to play.

CONTROLS

You can move Disco Mike all over the dance floor and you can also throw vinyls at the zombies with these controls:

O: Left
P: Right
Q: Up
A: Down
Space: Throw vinyl

If you prefer playing with joystick, we have implemented joystick controls as well.

You may download the instructions manual for more details about the gameplay.

GESTURES

As CPCRetroDev 2022 was celebrating it's 10th anniversary, we included a little easter egg as a reference to Lárcena`s Legacy in the game. One of the enemies is very similar to the promotor, a character of the game.
