GRAMY NA C64... "QUOD INIT EXIT IIo" (2025)

@quodinitexit #retream #c64 #commodore #commodore64 #8bitgames #8bitworld #retrochlop QUOD INIT EXIT IIo is a colourful, humorous platformer for the Commodore 64, created by RETREAM (Simone ‘Saulcious’ Bevilacqua) and released on 2 August 2025 after many years of development. You play as Zampo, an eternally hungry piglet who travels through the vast, non-linear world of Suinio in search of magical toiletries to restore them to their normal state with the help of the witch Cotechina. The gameplay focuses on free exploration and discovering new areas by jumping, avoiding obstacles, using platforms, and navigating extensive 2048×912 pixel maps. Along the way, you collect food to maintain Zampo's energy level, as well as special items needed to progress further. The game requires route planning, as every corner of the map may hide bonuses or shortcuts, and some locations are only accessible after finding the appropriate switches or keys. Five zones of increasing difficulty offer varied themes – from colourful, idyllic landscapes to dark and dangerous areas full of traps. The game engine provides smooth, sub-pixel scrolling at 50 fps, which, combined with rich animations, lighting effects and transparencies, gives a unique experience for the capabilities of the C64. The whole thing is complemented by a comical intro and outro, which give the game a light, playful atmosphere.
