Nixy and the Seeds of Doom

Join Nixy once again as she embarks on a new quest to find the source of the corruption threatening her home in the Glade.

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! :-)

Nice platform game with great graphics and potential. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 00:48:20. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. πŸ™‚

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?

(+1)

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!

Fantastic!

Any plans for an Amstrad CPC version? πŸ™

Not at the moment, but maybe!

I'll take a 'maybe'! πŸ˜ƒ Meantime I need to find out how to get the Speccy version onto my +2A.

‘‘Que bueno!!
