Introduction

This is my tribute to Rex, a ZX Spectrum (+ Amstrad CPC) game released by Martech Ltd, developed by The Light (Neil Harris, John Anderson, Richard Harris). It is a 2d platformer with some adventure elements. The original is fantastic, just get the emulator and play it!

About

This game was my entry to GBADEV.ORG Compo in 2003. In fact I have learned just basics to GBA programming. I really tried hard to finish this game until compo deadline, however with all my bloody work and sleepless nights I couldn't to finish whole huge project on time nor tweak gameplay. The game isn't finished, however it's still playable, just go up instead underwater (above cannons).

Remember to check specials, one special is a weapon select (there are 6 of them for now).
