A downloadable game

La Manula 2 (Return of The Otocolobus) is the sequel to La Manula, a game inspired by "La Mulana" by Nigoro.  It's for the old ZX Specturm 48k (or compatible, or emulator)


This sequel is shorter, easier and simpler than the previous chapter but also more enjoyable and polished. The action is smoother and the map, though smaller, is more detailed.


This time you don't have to worry to find collectables: there are a few power-ups but these apply immediately after you defeat the corresponding boss.


There are a total of 70 rooms, plus 10 more rooms in a hidden dungeon, three bosses plus the final boss (The Otocolobus). You may complete the game in any order you prefer.


A walkthrough of the game is also available in tzx format to be played on emulators (or modern machines) that support it, like Fuse.


Default controls are Q, A, O, P, Spc keys but you may redefine them or use a Kempston joystick.


This is my first game using KraspLib. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.

That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.

The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.

The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.

It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.

If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.

Juan.

Good new platformer, I enjoyed playing it. 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.

Nice game!
