Review: Voltek (Dom Reardon)
This is an updated version of the teaser demo that was released in 2018. It has more gameplay, snazzy AY and an end of game boss. It was very well received, and rightly so because it's a good game. However, it did leave me wondering what the author got so right, to attract the attention of more jaded old gamers than is typical for a platform game. I think it's because it's short, easy, very stylish and immersive. Someone else also suggested to me that it's basically the best game never made for the TRS-80!
This extended version is basically only the size of what we would once have called a demo. I suppose it's good to leave the punters wanting more, but if Dom ever decides to make a sequel, then it could be twice or thrice the size without losing the audience.
