This is clearly my biggest production to date on Amstrad CPC. It required me to write many custom command-line tools to make image conversions, data packing, SDCC/asm dynamic binding.. It was also the first time I created a production with Ced. The demo was well received, thus some found the demo a bit too short.
The unreleased preview
More info about a preview of this demo can be found here in its dedicated article.
Fun fact : Ced got ripped !
Looks like original Pheelone logo inspired some people.
You can watch the demo here (YouTube).
Slideshow
Eight stills, captured from the disc image on a CPC 6128.

Big improvement over the last two releases (Phats). A bit short tho.

Nice zik, nice gfx (especially after the intro is done) and a few good fx, rules for sure.

Fucking awesome! Where can i get a Coup de Ceur back for this one? ;-)
— Exin, 2009-07-16 · rulez
It’s too short… you should use some effects multiple times with some different tricks maybe ? Still a great demo of course :)
— PulkoMandy, 2009-07-16 · rulez
yeehaa after months of not that cool stuff, now luckily some prod which is a great pleasure to watch.. hasn’t enabled the musix, though..

— YERZMYEY/H-PRG, 2009-07-17
*FANTASTIC* This hell machine has the best graphic I have ever seen among 8-bitters. Anyway entire demo is great, a pity it’s so short.
— YERZMYEY/H-PRG, 2009-07-17 · rulez
Yeah nice work. I’m getting a 404 on your other Amstrad prods though, are they uploaded anywhere else?

Really good !!!
— Nicky One, 2009-07-17 · rulez
Excellent ! Short, but in this way it’s never annoying and has a good rythm. Great graphism, great music !
— ultrasyd, 2009-07-17 · rulez
Nice demo, but really too short. I’m happy to see this kind of prod this year. Maybe it’s time to adopt the C fashion in order to increase productivity . Good idea to not have a black and empty screen with your effect in the middle.
— krusty, 2009-07-17 · rulez
Nice demo !

Like this prod, much more complete, effect are cool and much more polished work. Love the giant scroll :)
— ramlaid, 2009-08-05 · rulez
Nice gfx, code seems ok.
— baah, 2009-08-06 · rulez
Sorry Voxfreax, I am not the one who has made the music. It’s Targhan. But it’s a nice one anyway :-).
— tometjerry, 2009-08-06
oops!!! Indeed :) Sorry for that!!! My mistake :) Anyway, congrats to Targhan for his cool tune :)
— voxy, 2009-08-06
Very nice !
— Candy, 2009-08-06 · rulez
Great surprise. Wonderful spacey graphics and the effects are in front of them, not in black screens, which is rarely seen on CPC.
— Optimus, 2009-08-07 · rulez
Beautiful production.
— Eldrik, 2009-08-07 · rulez

gfx +1 endpart funny
— fyrex, 2009-10-13
Oh I forgot to give a big thumb up to No Recess (code), Ced (gfxs) and Targhan (music) for this nice job. A bit short, and next time forget C langage and use CPC hardware !
— Hicks, 2010-03-14 · rulez
Well actually, it already makes use of CPC hardware.. 28Kb of RAM video with page flipping.. :) Also, usage of C language should not matter, used only for inits and big loops, but not inner code where ASM still rules sa mere!
— norecess, 2010-03-15
rules sa mere!
— Shazz^TRSi, 2010-12-18 · rulez
Enorme, mais trop courte!
— sim, 2011-01-24 · rulez
Yup, a bit on the short side, but some very nice graphics, and obviously very nice code as well :)
— Dbug, 2011-01-24 · rulez
