Great stuff, Sarah. This is fantastic! Thanks for the massive effort of putting this together. A physical edition would be great (Zeta Wing/Neutron double cart!).
I waited for some months for this now, and I'm really excited to finally having the chance to play it. As I expected is G-R-E-A-T and I dare to say it's the best vertical shooter ever to appear on the Commodore 64! Keep up the good work and we'll keep supporting you! Thank you for another great game!
Excellent game production. This game has a great classic late 1980s feel to it. Wonderful graphics, cheerful music, superb code, excellent game play. Highly recommended!
Congrats to this long-awaited release. Plays reeeeeally nice. A top quality shooter one will return to - for just another try. :)
I only made it through the first stage yet (normal difficulty) but love the game already. Can't wait to see the other end bosses. But one question: How does the weapon upgrade work? The more 'P's I collect, the stronger the shot? Or do I have a choice between different weapons?
Every enemy attack wave you completely destroy drops a "P". Collect 12 to power up your weapons. There's a bar above your lives that shows you your progress.
And just to be nice, losing a life doesn't clear the bar, it just degrades your weapon by one level.
Got it. Great you don't have to start from scratch leveling your weapon up. And with not losing the bar there is some tactical element as well. Thanks again for this great SHMUP. Hope you also get some financial reward from this. Good quality must be rewarded.
This might need some amendments for the J:2* parameters if you have a Mini which hasn't been updated to the latest firmware (specifically the mapping of the F1 and F3 keys).

very cool game !!
great game, but what's with "(C) 2020 Protovision" ?
Very fun game! Could you maybe create a disklabel that I can print on my Dymo LabelWriter? I wrote the image to an actual floppy :)
Played it only once (yet) and absolutely love it. It plays very well, looks and sounds great. Well done!

Fantastic game, Sarah! As fun as Neutron and even more beautiful. I will be doing a review on it this weekend.
I have no plans right now, but the question has been several times, so who knows?
Excellent! Great gfx, sfx, music and smooth gameplay!
Top actual C64 game!
Runs beautifully on my NTSC Breadbin

Great game!
Here's a Commodore Joystick Map that works with THEC64 and Mini:
T:Zeta Wing
X:64,pal,fullheight
A:Sarah Jane Avory
E:shoot
Y:2020
J:1:JU,JD,JL,JR,JF,JF,,,,,,,,,
J:2*:JU,JD,JL,JR,JF,JF,,,,F1,F3,,,,
The back two buttons on THEC64 Joystick are used on the title screen.
This might need some amendments for the J:2* parameters if you have a Mini which hasn't been updated to the latest firmware (specifically the mapping of the F1 and F3 keys).
