BubbleBack: The Story of Forward to the Past 2 by Sloanysoft ZX Spectrum platform game inspired by Bubble Bobble

Well it's taken a few years but we have finally made it. It took quite a bit to get it over the line in the end, but Lee Bee has done a phenomenal job on the music

BubbleBack, our sequel to Forward to the Past, now available for free on Itch.

Enjoy!

I've not played every computer game ever made, so I cannot say with any certainty that our new game is the only one to ever reference 70s Cookstown comedian Jimmy Cricket.

It ain't easy being indie. A huge thank you to to everyone who has bought our games, or pledges their hard-earned to support our Patreon. We simply couldn't do this without you.

More great games on the way...

We had a road trip accross the pennines to Chorley on Saturday. We finally got to see the comedy legend John Shuttleworth (OOF!) He was absolutely brilliant! His merch was even funny! I bought his book and a wooden spoon (?) which he signed! Top man! #johnshuttleworth #oof #raisetheoof #legend

The game industry has been family to me when itโ€™s come to my mental health, traumatic events, being an overwhelmed carer, & more.

Support thatโ€™s saved meโ€ฆ as part of a dream career!

I went on @gothbosscat.bsky.socialโ€™s podcast to talk about building a career in games when life is complex. You can!

I think they're quite old (and therefore cheap <ยฃ30) but I saw a youtube review and it sounded pretty good.

Still playing with this, but going in no particular direction. It's just fun seeing the Melkhior's Mansion characters come to life on the PlayDate.
