A retro game, loosely based on the BBC Micro game, Repton. When I was a kid, I loved the Repton series of games. Repton Infinity was life changing - it wasn't only a game, it was a game designer, where I could write the logic for each game character. Burton follows on from where Repton Infinity left off.

This is a re-make of the very old TRS-80 game Cavern Quest. I've even kept the very blocky monochrome graphics!

A new take, on an ancient classic. Defend the Earth, Moon, and Mars from the incompetent invaders from space. This time round, the invaders are tipsy, and rather than keep in a tight formation, they bump into each other sending the spinning off in all directions. This lack of discipline makes then a more dangerous foe, as they tend to dive-bomb straight towards you.
