Paulina Calderón is a friendly witch with two passions: Brewing magic potions and Retrocomputing. And she just found out that at a garage sale just around the corner, someone sells the very last CPC 646 that was produced in 1993. Help her to buy this precious antiquity!
First presented at the #CPCRetroDev 2023 , where it reached 3rd place and was also awarded a special mention for best music and sound effects.

This game uses a technique called color flipping. It's played best with a real CRT and sunglasses on (no joke!) – or in an emulator like RVM where you should turn "Interlaced blending" to the maximum. WARNING: If you are sensitive to blinking lights, this might not be the game for you. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: This technique allows up to 16 colors in Mode 1, and colors you might have never seen before on a CPC!
The element of potion brewing and also Paulinas last name are a reference to "Super Cauldron". The quest to buy the last CPC produced commemorates the end of CPCs commercial lifespan.
★ UPDATES:
2013-11-19 (Corrected bugs) : In the keyboard scanning routine - should now work on all CPCs and plus models ; In the tilemaps. No more getting stuck in the castle walls (unless you are careless with the walk thru walls potion) ; Now resetting the collected diamonds to 0 when starting a new game - no more accumulating through multiple games ;-) ; Extended easter egg whe winning the game.

L'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko.
