I'm a bit late to the party, but I got to the end. A couple of tricky levels in there, but I really enjoyed it :)
Help required. I can’t get this to run on my ks2 NEXT accelerated. Title screen loads up but it crashes on the ‘push fire’ screen. Tried it on all 128/48 modes
I have no idea, i don't have it :) dat next problems all around ) I think it's hdmi issue, once again. Just use vga/rgb or maybe a newer firmware...
This does not run on a harlequin 48k set to NTSC. Crashes at tiltle screen. Same thing happens in Fuse Emulator set to 48kNTSC.
Also on same NTSC setup, Yazzie crashes on game start, and old towers has flashing graphics when scrolling. All other Retrosouls 48k games seem to run fine on NTSC
Well, as expected ) NTSC to weak it has less CPU tStates per frame and different video timings
Anyone get this to run on a Speccy Next? I can load the game but can't get it to run or start.
I can load the game but the Push Fire screen appears and I tried every key on my Next KS#2 and non make that screen go away and the game play.
Any help would be cool
Awesome game for this system with lovely graphics and technical perfection. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 03:12:34. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Hey, I hope you don't mind, but I featured your awesome game in my top 50 Spectrum homebrew games of 2025

Great new puzzle game, thank you. I've also added it to my new video along with other recently released games. Hope you like it.

Brilliant game, this is my tribute, thank you VERY MUCH...
This is brilliant well done! Is there any chance of adding Kempston support? I love playing on original hardware, and would rather use a Joystick on my 48k Spectrum while playing it. And thank you again for the work and effort that has gone into this release, I am a huge fan of your games. TOURMALINE being my absolute favorite of your brilliant back catalogue of Spectrum releases; its just pure magic especially with the AY support. Keep up the great work and thanks again! We are not worthy!! :)
Awesome game!
very good
