An early Megazeux game, made in Megazeux version 1. Predictably, it's terrible. I can't fully blame the authors for the low quality of MZX v1 games, because the editor in MZX v1 is really, really cumbersome. Still, there's no denying that this is a bad game...

It's a demo, for a game that was apparently never completed. The goal is to collect the 50 "time gems."

There are some minor hazards on the way to collecting these gems. You fight some built-in enemies and a few bosses. The only part that's even remotely challenging is the first boss. The rest of the game can be beat just by firing wildly.

That the time gems are really built-in gem objects, which can be destroyed by your bullets, creates more of a challenge than anything else in this game! Not that it matters, the gems don't actually do anything in this demo.

The aesthetic might be the worst I've seen in a Megazeux game, and that's saying something. Most of the levels are literally corners of the board with gray lines drawn as boundaries.

Finally, you collect 3 of the 50 gems within the game. The text at the end of the demo tells you about the "other 48 gems." I thought there were only 50. Maybe there's 51 in case you accidentally shoot one of the gems?
