Excellent puzzle game, a must buy. I've also included it in my new "Gameplay of New ZX Spectrum games from March 2025" video along with other recently released games. Hope you enjoy the video.
Hello!! Sorry for the intrusion, hehehe. My name is Felipe, and until recently, I have been editing games for the Spectrum on cassette. Due to personal and work reasons, I’m going to stop editing, and I'm saying goodbye with a compilation of homebrew games for The Spectrum on USB. I want it to be the best and most complete compilation of homebrew games that has ever been made. It will be a non-profit edition, just to provide users of The Spectrum with a pack to spend hours and hours in front of their ZX. I’ve seen some of your games on Itch.io and wanted to ask if you would be interested in contributing any of your ZX games to this compilation. I already have legendary creators from the scene on board, but I’d also like to reach out to you. It can be one game, two, or as many as you want, in .TAP format. Even simply granting me permission and letting me know which games I could include would be enough, and I can download them from Itch.io. We have created a system where the games will be encrypted, and no one will be able to use them digitally; they will only be playable on their The Spectrum, Divide, or computer. My email is playonretro@gmail.com. Best regards, and thank you very much
Hi Felipe. As long as the project is going to be and remain non-profit, you can add as many games as you see fit. For ZX Spectrum that's 4. Before launching the pack, make sure you have the latest version of each game updated as they've all received fixes and improvements since their initial releases. If you need anything you can email me at tartessosgames@gmail.com.
Really THANKS A LOT!!!! A lot of new player will enjoy your games!!!! REally Thanks for trust in my project, I will keep up up when release!! So exciting!!!
Tartessos..... debí imaginarlo... yo soy de Cádiz y hay mucha tradición Tartésica (vamos que se cree que andaban por aquí....como todo el mundo piensa de su zona jajajaj)
Nice game which in some ways is also suitable for complete beginners.Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 03:15:30. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Thanks for the video. Regarding the challenges, if you get stuck on one, it might be a good idea to take a break and come back to it later. Sometimes, after a short break, the solution becomes clearer.
Thank you very much LeeBee, I hope you enjoy it. I am not planning to make a 128k version at the moment, because, although I think that music is a very important part of video games, and I always pay the most attention to it, composing or adapting it myself in most cases, this game asked for silence, and I like to only hear the sound of the pieces as if it were a chess tournament. On the other hand, everyone can choose their favorite music to listen to while solving the challenges.
However, I appreciate your offer and I will keep it in mind if I finally make an extended version in 128k. Greetings!

Superb game Tartesso! Can I ask if the levels are your own design, or a standard template (as for example, a lot of Sokoban games).
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you liked it. About half of them are my own designs, while the rest are either modifications or selections.
That's still fantastic work!
Hola,
Enhorabuena por tu trabajo! Hace unos días publiqué un video con los primeros 30 niveles de MAster Piece.
Continuará... jajaja
Buenas jugadas! Gracias por el video.
Gracias a ti

Gran rompecabezas. Muy entretenido.
Gracias por la reseña!

Thank you for including the game in the video. Yes, the game is suitable for all levels and can be a good way to get started in chess.
very good
Thank you. I hope you enjoy it!
Simple to learn, hard to master. I played the CPC version and it rocks. I was looking for a nice puzzler, so I got it :)
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome. Enjoy it!
I'm currently stuck at level 8. I do find the solution for it... I tried at least 10 times, but I hope - and will ! - find the way to level 9 :)
Edit: made a small video using the ZX Spectrum port. Enjoy :)
Thanks for the video. Regarding the challenges, if you get stuck on one, it might be a good idea to take a break and come back to it later. Sometimes, after a short break, the solution becomes clearer.
I made a lot of progress, and make it to level 30. How many levels remains?
Thanks for your answer :)
Okay, you only have 169 left, but don't rush. Take it slow and enjoy the challenges; they'll get harder.
Nice game!
Thanks for the video!
I love your game! If you ever make a 128k version and want music I could provide some, just get in touch.
