VivaMortis
Written for the SyntaxBomb Retro-Game fightout It is based on a Sinclair Spectrum with the option to use ZX-Spectrum graphics from glorious color clash to 16 amazing Sinclair colours and sound (from a single beep (48k), simple 3 voice (128k) or fully sampled (next)).
You play as Mortis: Overworked minion of Mr De'Ath.
There is a party planned and someone has nicked his 5 runes. Toddle off and find them for him to really get the party started.
But wait.... it's not as simple as all that is it? Oh no, there's a time limit and a collection of clockwork fiends and demented dangers to prevent you from sipping Mojitos at the party!
Collect lost treasures, throw a few skulls and bash a few piñatas. And beware the Fabled Broom of Doom!
With an emulated chip-synth and custom written QasarBeach sound engine, you might just stay around for the sounds alone - why not stay forever?
Control is simple:
left/right/up/down and fire, all can be reconfigured to your own desires...
Fullscreen or windowed.
MacOS, Windows and Linux versions available

Looks really cool! But the Mac build doesn't seem to work right for me. Can hear audio but the screen stays black and nothing appears on-screen.
what MacOS are you using - can you see anything??
I'll work on a fix immediately
I'm using 10.14.4. Also using an eGPU if that has any impact on how the video output works for it.
Brilliant. can confirm this is a 10.14.4 issue - just upgraded and I've got the same, so I'm working on a fix :)
Nice! Will be eagerly awaiting the update to give the game a try :D
Yep. It will be the V1.03 update that hopefully wiull have a fix. I know what the error is, I just have to figure out how to deal with it :)
let me know how you get on - suggestions, etc :)
