Message from the Management

When you finish a new game, demo, engine, or utility, the first thing to do is submit it to the archive for approval. (Log in first, then Upload a New Game from the sidebar.) Then feel free to post about it in this forum; in fact, please continue to do this. This is so people will actually know about your game and play it. As nice as it is to have archive uploads automated, it's not going to help much if no one knows you have a new game to play.

When uploading your games to the archive, please zip up your game using the .ZIP format, even if it is just a .MZX file. As for less popular formats (such as RAR and 7Z), games uploaded in these formats will be rejected. This is because as wonderful as those compression algorithms might be, ZIP is a near universal compression standard, and the only one that will work with the in-game archive browser planned for MZX.

You can also attach your game to a new thread in this forum. In this case, you can use whatever compression format you find suitable. NOTE: Games posted this way won't be put into the archive unless submitted to the archive proper, or unless the author states he/she wants the game in.

Lastly, we suggest you post a suitable screenshot of your submission (in PNG format) along with the game.

Well, basically everything seemed in order besides the soundtrack, so I decided to finally release the thing. There's a level expansion pack that's about 1/3 complete, but this release contains none of it! The only way to get all 25 bonus levels and a folder with some bonus stuff is to help me complete the soundtrack so there can be a complete re-release!

Regarding the soundtrack incompleteness, in levels without music, you'll just hear the track from the original game (edit: except in level 18, because I had put a track there and then removed it without changing the level's CMF filename, it just plays the default level music instead).

If you don't like Labyrinth Team 20101's soundtrack, or just want a more nostalgic experience, you can change the game world to ZEUXOST in the level select/options screen/high scores screen. RyanThunder was courteous enough to convert the entire original soundtrack into OGGs (some seem a bit off, though... we might revisit that for the re-release)!

edit: Remember that you can save and reload with F3/F4, and also with F9/F10! There was similar functionality the original (S and R) but it was limited to 4 save slots and you had to wait until after you died for the game to reload.

fuck this game is hard, and I'm not even that far in. Gonna have to turn the speed down
<Nadir> mzxers don't make GAMES, usually
<phthalocyanine> they make experiences.
<Nadir> demos, more like
<Nadir> a glimpse into what could have been if mzx wasn't such a bore to work with
<Nadir> actually, i'm being unfair
<Nadir> i would have made mzx games if it was capable of running on more than 20 computers worldwide in 1998
<Nadir> >:D

<%Alice> functor
<%nooodl> i hear C++ has a thing called functors and they're completely different from Haskell functors...
<rorirover> the result is the most horrid thing in C++, it's basically black magic and it transforms any code you're writing into some eldritch monstrosity

Brilliant work. I generally hate MZX side-scrollers, but this is a huge exception to that. The puzzles are challenging and no matter how many times I fail, I'm compelled to keep trying. This is a fun game which to me is the only ruler worth measuring a game with.
The universe unfolds as it should.

Remember, savescumming was mandatory in old MZX games.

Dag. PARADE.CMF (well, .OGG now) sounds so familiar; I could've sworn I've heard it somewhere other than Labrynth long ago, but I can't quite remember where...

Levels for the level pack can be PMed to me or attached/linked to this thread or to the Labyrinth of Zeux journal thread. Music should be PMed to me or linked directly to me on IRC (see the Journal thread for exact specifications)

I'll accept any difficulty level for the level pack -- though I may tweak it if it's too hard or easy -- but if your visuals are sub-par don't be surprised if I completely redo the graphics for your level

The snow and builder brick color changing was done using a .RBT file! Edit labyrinth.mzx's gameplay board, there's a robot there with a script file template!
