Awesome platformer, great style, design and atmosphere!
nice. a 8/10 platformer.
Very good! Nixy and the Seeds of Doom (2024, Haplo)
Ein ehrwürdiger Nachfolger und ein schöner bunter Platformer. Meine absolute Empfehlung!
Auf meinem YouTube Kanal habe ich es im Rahmen der C64 Spielzeit vorgestellt. Schaut doch mal vorbei:
I was excited about this game, and after a bit of practice, here's a playthrough video from my Mega65. Enjoy!
How about a true stereo audio mode like Missile Defence?
C64 sound output is monophonic :-/
Nice game. Superb hires charset graphics, music fits in well in the game. Nixy 2 has some charm like the first game did. Very well done :)
Very good game and that music suits this very well. I also included it in my new "Gameplay of New C64 Games from November 2024" video, in addition to the other C64 games released in November.
Cool version! But bug report. If you die during a boss fight, the collected seeds will not be displayed on subsequent attempts.
Thanks for the report! I have uploaded a fix.
Thx!
Very nice game! Didn't know about the original Spectrum game, but this port is really good ... and I think I prefer the colors palette you chose instead of that of the original. Congrats!
Very enjoyable game! Congratulations!
Pencilled in for issue 24 of Zzap!64...
Great, looking forward to it!
I uploaded a small update a few moments ago; please grab the latest archive.
Gorgeous looking game and as atmospheric as the first one. Love it!
How can I run this game on linux?
I'm using linux mint by the away
Install VICE (the C64 emulator) from apt. Alternatively, play it on an online emulator like https://c64online.com/c64-online-emulator/
Looks very nice! :-)
Very good game 😁 Another part of Nixy adventures was a right idea 😁 Looking forward to more 😁 Of course we will describe it in K&A PLUS 😁

Good job! https://c64universe.wordpress.com/2024/10/04/nixy-2-nixy-and-the-seeds-of-doom-g...
Good looking preview. I also included it in my new "Gameplay of New C64 Games from September 2024" video as well as all the other recently released Commodore 64 games.
Looking good so far.
Awesome preview !
Such original ideas with the map system. Can't wait to see how big the final game will be. Awesomeness...!!! : )
hmmm... :-)
Yeah there are a few corner-case issues with the ladders.
very good
Great game, thank you.
Awesome!
Will we have ingame music in the final version?
Yes, that's the plan.
It's going to be a great game!
Definitely
looks so promising !! keep on the good work !!
I am looking forward to this sequel as I am enjoying the first game, I am currently playing. @5x years old, my reactions are not as good as they used to be. Finding it hard but enjoyable. Wonderful to see games still being written for the c64. I am getting more enjoyment playing these new c64 games than playing modern games on my PS5. Please keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you.
Yes. Keep me posted! Will there be a boxed, floppy, tape version?
Please keep me in the loop Haplo! NIXY is AWESOME
Awesome!
