O

Hurtling through space, we find DSS Fusion Retro, offworld repository for retro artefacts. While supervisor Retrobot rests, the vault is breached and emptied by the mysterious O. Tracking their location, Retrobot has just one hour to find them all.

Features:
- 50 challenging rooms covering three zones, each with its unique graphical style.
- Different atmospheric music for each zone
- 2 difficulty settings: Easy - unlimited lives, Normal - 5 lives with extra lives being collected as you progress through the levels
- Collect 48 x CRASH and 64 x ZZAP! artefacts
- Olibugs and Retrobits are dotted around the rooms - can you find and collect them all?
- You have one hour to collect all the artefacts and make your way through the 50 rooms - collect hourglasses to add more time to the clock
- 50 and 60hz compatible.

This is a brand new game coded by Dave Sonic Clarke, graphics by Simon Butler and sound by Paul Hesso and tested by Chris Wilkins.

This is honestly a AAA title for the Spectrum Next and sets a new bar for this type of game. The audio during gameplay is low as I am talking pretty much all the way through this, but this is a MUST HAVE game for any Spectrum Next owner.
