Team "Pixelbrei Games" Announces "Timo's Castle" for Commodore 64, Partnering with Bitmap Soft for Physical Release

Zurich, April 8th 2024 – A recent announcement has sent waves of anticipation throughout the Commodore 64 community as a small team of enthusiasts, renowned in the C64 scene, revealed their latest project. Originally announced on April 1st, 2024, as a homage to a classic 40-year-old platformer, the project faced unexpected hurdles in aligning with the original IP.

The protagonist of "Timo's Castle" has undergone a transformation, embodying the essence of the original character while incorporating fresh elements. A sneak peek at the new hero's appearance can be viewed at https://timoscastle.com igniting excitement among fans and newcomers alike.

Despite these changes, the team remains committed to their initial vision, and thus, the target release date of May 1st, 2024, remains unchanged. Fans can mark their calendars with confidence, knowing that the wait for "Timo's Castle" will soon be over.

In a thrilling development, the team also proudly announces a partnership with Bitmap Soft to oversee the physical release of "Timo's Castle". Jamie Battison and Darren Doyle, owners of Bitmap Soft, expressed their enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "We are excited to be a part of this awesome project. There are great things to come!"

The physical release of "Timo's Castle" is slated to be available in Summer 2024, providing collectors and enthusiasts with an opportunity to experience the magic of retro gaming firsthand.

I have actually never played Starmaster!  I've played Star Raiders and Phaser Patrol, though.  The latter is my favorite for this type of game.
