Cavern Blast
Cavern Blast
A Spectrum to ZX81 "downgrade". Fun little fortress defense game, gets pretty hectic at higher speeds.

Re: Cavern Blast
Hard one, this game. With the faster moving enemies, it's practically impossible to reach your shooting position in time, if you're @ the wrong place when that enemy appears on screen. I'd suggest an improvement:
Make enemies move slower, but more of them simultaneous on screen. That way you go from a dumb "hit up/down key ASAP" to a sort of 'scheduling' problem for the player. Read: more interesting / less boring.

Re: Cavern Blast
I could eliminate the speed up feature or maybe make it user selectable. I think adding more invaders would really slow it down, maybe I'll give it a try and see.
