Let's Go! - Platform runner for the Amstrad CPC in development

It's nice to see the Amstrad CPC getting much needed attention by game developers, as this isn't the first game we've come across this year on the 1980's system. Developed by A Bearded Dragonz Production (Morri) using AGAS and ESD; Let's Go! is a platformer with a difference! A Run and Stop platformer, that forces to the player to hit the space bar to stop him from running into obstacles, which is then limited by time.

Sienna - One touch runner with insane difficulty

Playing as Sienna the cat in a one touch runner, your only task is to run and jump through the level for as long as possible. Throughout the level there are many traps and obstacles in the way which need to be avoided, but considering the difficulty level this is nearly impossible. Thankfully blue orbs can be touched to be used as checkpoints and pressing R will restart from that last point. If you have a lack of patience and suffer from high stress levels this probably isn't the game for you. However if you love one touch running games with an insane difficulty then Sienna by Tangram Games might just be the game to play!

Reckpunk - A weird and wonderful platform runner from Damien(dlan)

If there's one thing that stands out for me other than curious gameplay is an unusual artstyle, and when it comes to Reckpunk by Damien(dlan), a strange artistic design is certainly one of them. With a release date of September 2014 for the PC, Reckpunk features 8-bit graphics with the game play of that of a platform runner. Throughout this game your reaction counts, you must avoid obstacles and move platforms with the use of your mouse and with this design it really works. Not only is Reckpunk a great looking 8-bit styled game, which would probably look good on a Spectrum it also features fun and challenging game play.
