I can not get it to work. I have no way to create a 360K 5.25" floppy with it on to use with a 1541 drive. I give up; I don't think the real C64 version works, maybe only the emulator? (which I have no interest in).
So far, I have only seen this ending "King". I assume that if you play as The Amazon, there is an ending "Queen". How many and which other endings are there?
Great game! Found two issues: 1. When you press Run/Stop in the intro you get a CPU-Jam. 2. If you press "Space" in the in-game manual you also get a CPU-Jam. Tested on Vice3.6.1 with Dolphindos 2.0. With standard kernel all is fine.
I am not schooled enough to talk about this but it is not the first time that someone with a fpga and dolphindos sayes that something is not working. Most times it helped for them to change to stock kernal etc as it seems that fpga is not automatically perfect. Just my two cents
Great game, can be added the crt version on download? due to i use on real hardware and only in days i get a floppy drive and for now i use KFF or SD2iec and i have the infinite loading screen as the manual say, thanks for the great game!
Thanks for your feedback. It took some extra effort to create a version that could be used to manufacture the cartridges. This version should be available exclusively for the physical cartridge release - at least for some time. Sorry :-(
thanks a real CRT is awesome i will consider... for now a friend send me a version - how quick some people made the non official cra... - without intro with only the game and it works and i use for testing the game because in days i will have a real floppy drive and copy your original D64 file into a floppy to use as regular version (and i prefere always an original if it is possible).
Thanks for sharing the picture. Seeing the game on real hardware is great :-) I've some original hardware lying around but even don't know if it still works. The original CRT has a nice selection menu for intro/game ;-)
Very cool game. Pity you can only download and there is no option to donate via PayPal. You deserve it. For me, one of the candidates for game of the year. Great work.
too bad the female protagonist is wearing a sackcloth instead of 'nothing' like in my piccy. huge oversight imho, it needs that barbarian 2 female type look. other than that, it's nice 7/10
Question: I am very new to C64s and am enjoying repairing them more than using them - lol. I downloaded the game and manual, but the game extension is .D64. I thought the extension has to be .prg? I can put it on an SD card on one of the plug in adapters I have, but I really though it needed to be a .prg? No?
A .prg is a single file. A .d64 is a complete disk image. You can drag it onto Vice for example to play it in an emulator or you can copy the files from the disk image to your SD card. DirMaster ist a tool that can be used to extract the files from the disk image.
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed; I am still learning this world (back when I was young, I had Ohio Scientific and not cool stuff like this and was more in to Electronics engineering). I have collected a number of 1541 drives (Flappers and not the twist engage). I really don't see transferring the game (or games) to floppies, but if I did, I am guessing that would have to be done on the C64 itself. If I have an older 90's DOS PC with a 5.25" drive, are there utilities that will allow it to write 5.25" disks? I don't know if single sides drives would be needed or if a higher end 5.25" drive could still write to a lesser format. I only ask because I have a ton of 5.25" floppy disks, both low and high density, and have 3D printed several disk box and have others. It might be nice to be able to do that for the 1980s "feel". I think I could also get the files to the older PC via an XTIDE card.
As far as i know, writting C64 disk with an pc 5.25" drive doesn't work. Once i had a cable someone made for me, to connect a 1541-II via serial port with my 486. Last year i wanted to backup some C64 stuff from my old disks and just bought a XU1541 interface from ebay to connect my 1541-II via USB with my laptop. Worked perfectly. Does this answer your question?
Hi and thank you for this game! Making C64 games is not an easy task and you have accomplished that! The concept and presentation of Deathflood are great, please keep improving the execution of the game itself, as it could use some polishing to improve things further. I would suggest taking stock of the feedback on itch from various players and then using that as a task board to implement into the physical version from poly.play. (https://www.polyplay.xyz/Commodore-64_1)
Thanks for your feedback. When i started coding the game i made some lesser good decisions due to litte expirience in coding assembler on the C64. So there are aspects that would have done completly different now, but this would require to rewrite large parts of the game. Some of the flaws don't weight that much when you've played it for some time and the game was created with a motivation to play it again (multiple endings). So i decided to leave it as it is and gather the feedback as foundation for the successor.
The gameplay is addictive but it controls a bit difficult on ladders and stairs... Dont know the right english word... Hakelig in german. Nonetheless it plays great, has intense moments and the different exits are a nice idea.
The music fits perfect. Art is also nice! Definitely something i would buy but i dont want to go down the rabbit-hole of buying games for hardware i dont own.
I mean... Thank you for giving it away for free but buying a physical copy is the only way to say thank you... And i dont have real hardware so buying a physical copy is a bit overkill for me :/
We do this for fun and fame :-) Taking money for it only complicates things. If you leave us a comment here with feedback (positive or negative) we would be very grateful. The physical copies are a limited extra for people like me who love old game boxes. It is quite expensive to make all the material for the boxes and have them made. We don't make any money with that.
I just had a go playing this game. First of all, well done in making a nice free game for us. Great presentation. The title / intro music suits the atmosphere really well and the game tune really rocks. Well done. :)

amazing stuff!:D
Please sd2iec versión Is amazing gane but no work my sd2iec dawn
I can not get it to work. I have no way to create a 360K 5.25" floppy with it on to use with a 1541 drive. I give up; I don't think the real C64 version works, maybe only the emulator? (which I have no interest in).
Please try the new sd2iec version.
I can't find the words, just that I simply love it. Here is my longplay. I'm looking forward to the sequel with slightly better controls.
Very nice :-) How many endings have you seen so far?
So far, I have only seen this ending "King". I assume that if you play as The Amazon, there is an ending "Queen". How many and which other endings are there?
Maybe a fortune teller can tell you that ;-) But they are not character specific. There was no memory left for that.
I like the atmosphere, fun game! Looking forward to the sequel(s).
Great game! Found two issues: 1. When you press Run/Stop in the intro you get a CPU-Jam. 2. If you press "Space" in the in-game manual you also get a CPU-Jam. Tested on Vice3.6.1 with Dolphindos 2.0. With standard kernel all is fine.
Fortunately, the game does not require keyboard input. Thanks anyway, I'll check that for future games.

Best 2023 game for the C64, Period.
Awesome game !

Very cool game. As the editor of "K&A PLUS" magazine ( https://ka-plus.pl/en/ )
I would like to talk to you about this title. I invite you to my email.

Hah, via RS232? Brilliant, yet thank you. That probably is the way. I'll look in to it; thank you.
On a real C64, can't seem to get past "loading....."
P.S. - trying to run it from uSD on a Kung Fu Flash. Maybe it will not run from there?
Yes, you need a real disk drive. There is a cracked version on CSDb. I havn't tried it but afaik there you can load game and intro directly.

Nice! A successor would be awesome and well done!

Gratulstions! Well executed!
Why no "pay what you want"?

Is this a final build or just a preview?
It's the final build.
thanks! Good luck with the game, we will review it in ZZAP! 64 soon
I'm really looking forward to it.
Thanks!
whoa, nice. pdf, free... all this needs is a little cover: https://ibb.co/kX1Mw0s
Very nice :-)
this looks great but wheres the water XD
