Good morning, A new version is out - correction to the map where a missing tile was causing misbehaviour and even a crash sometimes.

Add all the game map and after some optimization, gained bytes at the cost of a little code speed but now I have 948 bytes free =P~ 99% of the code is done so I hope these bytes will be enough for anything left to do.

Now you can load the game from tape in 1 minute and 43 seconds(has no presentation screen), I have added this new tape file (zezitostars_fast.uef) to the game itchio page.

Port of a game from dflat to native Oric - easier for folks to try using emulator or even real machine.
I've made some improvements too e.g. the game music which is a decent rendition (not by me!) of a legendary electronic track.

Hello #Amstrad friends! Would be interested in a version of this game for your machine? If I get enough interest I will add it to my TODO list. Cheers
