Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
I helped playtest the ZX Spectrum release of Nixy the Glade Sprite for Andy Johns back in 2018, and it was a great little platformer with some great music. The original game was created using a version of Jonathan Cauldwell's AGD studio, which has gained a lot of support in the Spectrum homebrew scene in recent years, but with no version for the C64, I was I was curious to see how this conversion faired.

In terms of differences, the C64 version features a different game map and item placement, as well as four-way scrolling; coming from the Spectrum, this felt quite odd at first, but it's a great addition and plays to the C64's strengths. The original music, composed by David Saphier, has been remixed by Kamil Wolnikowski - the core melody remains, but this is a very cool down-tempo rendition of the music for the SID chip.

All things considered, Nixy on the C64 is a great conversion - this is well worth checking out.
