MicroMart - Game of the Week - "LumASCII is almost a shoot-'em-up in its own genre...  If you really want something that feels familiar, but at the same time is obviously a bit different, then this is for you.  With this and the sublime splATTR, Bob has two superb and entirely unique blasters that shouldn't be missed".[/size][/align:tzqzmm5m]

[align=center:tzqzmm5m][size=140]I'd never written a traditional side-scrolling shoot'em-up game before, and I don't think anyone has written one for the Spectrum which only uses ASCII characters throughout instead of pixel-based high-res graphics.  I'm rather pleased with the end result though as (I think) a unique one-of-a-kind game on the Spectrum.  Indeed, it doesn't even seem like a Spectrum game, more a launch title from a mythical ZX82 machine which kept the character display of the ZX81 but added colour and sound to it.

The game did take nine months to code though - the development process being drawn out somewhat by there being little in the way of tools to aid in the creation of the colour ASCII levels and objects (they all had to be hand-coded into the game) and the fact that it's actually quite difficult to produce good meaningful ASCII art within such a small space.[/size][/align:tzqzmm5m]

That looks pretty damn smart. Plenty of Speccy and C64 love in the homebrew world.
