Inferno Dash

Retro firefighting action on ZX Spectrum Next

A massive forest fire has swept into the city of Eldervud. Twelve districts are burning: residential streets, markets, factories, high-rises — the flames are everywhere.

You are the firefighter. Your only job is to move through the levels and put out every fire you find.

Reach each burning spot and extinguish it. Clear all the flames in the district to move on. The fires stay exactly where they are — no spreading, no tricks. Just find them, reach them, douse them.

Levels get bigger and more packed with fires as you progress. Plan your path, move efficiently, leave nothing burning.

The inferno rages. You put it out.

Load on your ZX Spectrum Next (or emulator) and start extinguishing.

The game only works correctly at 50Hz.

Uses esxdos.

Before updating, you may need to save the "save.c" file in the root of the game to avoid losing your progress.

Pending update:

Joystick.

Additional music tracks.

Credits.

Graphics adjustments.

The joystick is currently disabled because my code conflicts when using the joystick with a mouse. I don't have real hardware to constantly test the build.
Therefore, if I don't find a solution, there will be two versions of the game: one with a mouse and one with a joystick.
Currently, the game is controlled by a mouse and QAOP SPACE.

Early versions of the firmware had a bug with layer 2 rendering. On the main menu screen, after a victory or defeat, layer 2 was shifted in Y by an unspecified amount.
