The Accolade

This is my entry for SpeccyJam (2), that is a game jam to build a “ZX Spectrum looking” game in a week following the speccy graphical restrictions.

This is also September’s game of my [one game a month challenge](/jjm/one- game-a-month/).

The game was developed from scratch using C++ and SFML.
