VISUAL_DATA
This was a dream come true: creating a game for the ZX Spectrum, which, alongside the Game & Watch, was my first true 'dark object of desire' long before I finally owned my first CPC. My goal wasn’t just to make another game, but to find a story rooted in my own culture. Discovering the legends of Trasmoz, the only excommunicated town in Spain, was the spark I needed to build something with deep Spanish roots. The project came to life thanks to the immense talent of the scene. I had the luck of having the great Dani Díez on art, whose illustrations wrapped the pixels in a mantle of fantasy like the masters of the 80s, and Beyker, who pushed the AY chip to its limits with a haunting soundtrack. What started as a personal challenge became a cult hit with a deluxe physical release via Polyplay. This is where the legend began.
"With an original mechanic. Players must use their sword to collect fire from enemies to light candles across 23 levels. The fun lies in mastering the infinite screen concept to wrap around edges and solve puzzles through smart level design."
READY AND PLAY
"Developed by a great team of people such as Volcanobytes, Defecto Digital, Beyker, ThePope and BitFans, with cover/box art by Dani Diez, and created using AGD and Musicizer II. It was an eagerly awaited game."
INDIE RETRO NEWS
"The Curse of Trasmoz has the power to entertain us for a good few hours and even, after finishing, we return to it from time to time. It has that 'let's try again' feel to it, and deep down that's what defines good games."
