Un gameplay:
Many thanks to all of you for the comments — they motivate me to keep creating new games, whether you liked it a lot or not so much!
Awesome and technically extremely impressive shooter in the "R-Type" style — a level of quality rarely seen on this system. What's more, it plays exceptionally well and features destructible environments. Our German-language review can be found at 06:11:48. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
A mi me ha encantado, recuerda al RTYPE lo que es inevitable, pero el juego me parece muy bueno, me encanta que puedas destrozar el decorado. un 5 estreyas para mi.
Colorful graphics, smooth scrolling and destructible background are advantages of this game. But movement of player's ship is slow, bonus tokens don't move and bosses are very hard to kill (if you don't have weapon upgrade). Overall it's an average game.
I respect your opinion! thanks for giving it a try
Nice game!!! Smooth and fast horizontal scroll with colors and no visible color clash on ZX Spectrum 128k is a remarkable tech feat.
It reminds me of Space Impact on my Nokias 3320 and 2300. I loved that game! Spent countless hours playing it back in the day, always trying to best my previous hi score, sometimes competing with friends at school to see who could get the highest score. Shadow Fields is definitely going into my RetroArch library!
Superb quality, execution, game speed and overall ZX experience - brilliant 👍👍
you should do a Next version 👍👍
Wow, that is an awesome shooter. Congrats and many thanks for the fun to play:-)
NIIICE!"
Awesome game!
Gorgeous shoot-em-up, and yes, after playing a few times, I did go back with the cheat mode offered, for infinite lives :)
Congrats on the release. I was following the progress on SC. Very nice game. Destructible objects! 😎🤘🏼
Great game, thanks.
Es un juego técnicamente muy bien ejecutado. Se aprecia el esfuerzo que le habéis dedicado.
¡Enhorabuena tanto al programador y grafista como al músico!
Felicidades por este muy buen shoot em up que te has marcado. Su dificultad no es tan extrema como muchos otros y tiene buenos detalles técnicos. Ojalá hagas mas títulos...
Enhorabuena por el juego y gracias por tu esfuerzo y dar vida al spectrum👌👍👌
Released!
