This was just going to be some simple additions to ROBORUN but it just kept on going and going until it became an entirely different games.

Screenshots reminded me of Red Ants... :mrgreen:

The ZX81's (generally) difficult keyboard response, combined with the 'electrified' walls, make this game very challenging. A bit too challenging for my taste. :( But I guess others may feel different. Anyway good effort!

Disclaimer: only tried it on an emulator (xz81). Perhaps controls work better on a real ZX81...

Timing, as they say, is everything. It does take a bit of getting used to but I've found it to be quite playable at moderate speed, but then I've played it a lot. At really slow speed you almost have to suicide to lose. Without the electrified fence and constant movement it wouldn't be a challenge at all.
