--[[ NOTE: PRESS S TO SKIP INITIAL SCREEN ]]--

Hi, Stevenup7002 here, I made this game for fun, and I also made this game as an experiment, to see how easy it could be to pull off something so limited in Gamemaker, something limited such as, a game using the limits of the commodore 64, the result: it's harder than it looks, but it does require effort. I spent an entire day looking up what resolution I had to use, how big the border would have to be, what colours I could use etc.

First of all, the game starts with a typical datasette loading screen, but don't worry, for all you lazy bastards out there, you can just press S to skip it. Then the menu will come up, if you wait a little while on the menu, you get a nice little surprise, anywho, press enter to start playing. You play blobhead, you must run around the forest collecting all the apples you can find, but be careful, there's robbers in the woods, and they're out to steal your apples and most likely kill you. I would suggest avoiding them at all costs.

The game does not end, so you can play for hours and hours and try and beet my high score of 1337, MUAHAHAHAHA.. urr, anyway, use the arrow keys to get around (Before all you C64 fans start bashing me about how the C64 didn't have arrow keys.. I KNOW, I had originally decided to use some other keys to keep you guys happy, but the testers were annoyed with this, so live with it..)

Enjoy the game, hopefully it will bring back some good memories 😁
(R Tape Loading Error.. AGHHHH (wait, wasn't that on the Spectrum?(yay brackets)))
