Dizzy: Searching for bugs in the land of KOA

v1.2

by Spyros Paraschis

Info
====

Just a small game in the visual and gameplay style of the highly popular Dizzy series of ZX Spectrum games.

The game has been made using the wonderful DizzyAGE system ( www.yolkfolk.com/dizzyage ).

This is not a proper Dizzy-inspired game. It does not take place in the land of the Yolkfolk and the regular Dizzy characters don't appear in it. In fact it's a tribute to the KOA (Kick Off Association - www.ko-gathering.com - a community devoted to the great Kick Off series of football games). I actually meant it as a joke wrapped around a game, so don't expect much from it if you are not related ot the KOA (or, as a matter of fact, even if you are...).

The excuse for a plot has the hero, Alex, arriving somehow in a strange land and ending up participating in a bug hunt featuring some prominent KOA members.

Completing the game might post a slight challenge, but losing a life is extremelly difficult. The main emphasis is on character interaction and, to a lesser extent, exploration.

Control
=======

Guiding Alex around is straightforward. Use the <left> - <right> arrows to move and <up> to jump. <Return> is the action button, used to interact with characters, examine the environment and manipulate the inventory by picking up, dropping and using objects. 

The game starts in windowed mode. Use F10 to switch between windows and fullscreen mode.
