Heartlight – A Spectrum port/remake of a Polish Boulder Dash clone

If you remember playing xLand Games Boulder Dash clone of ‘Heartlight’, a game which was released way back in 1991 to 1993 for the Atari 8bit, Amiga and PC, then you are going to like this latest news story that’s just been sent to us. As we’ve been told that Ralf has made available the ZX Spectrum port remake of, yes you guessed it, ‘Heartlight’. A new game in which the creator has kindly shared with the community as a Christmas gift. In light of this news, we’ve got some more info from the developer as well as a gameplay video.

Here’s what the developer says about Heartlight via the Spectrum Computing forums. “Some time ago I decided to make a Spectrum port/remake of the game called Heartlight. It was quite well known in Poland in its time (I’m from there, you know? ) and even got an international release. Has anyone here heard of it? It’s a clone of Boulder Dash with several twists, more focused on puzzles than action. All the gameplay happens on single screen and there is no scrolling. The early levels are rather easy, then it becomes harder. My Spectrum version was 95% complete for 3 years or so and gathering dust on my hard drive until I made the final touches recently and released it today”.
