The Goblin is a new ZX Spectrum game by hicks, you can download it here. You play a little goblin jailer trying to return escaped demons to their cells. You don’t have any weapons though, and have to use the power of your belches after you’ve drunk some beer.
Once you’ve belched on a demon enough it turns into a tornado thing that you push into a stone with a rune carved into it. When all the demons are sent back a portal opens that sends you to the next level.
If you belch on a demon that’s already a tornado, it will turn into another type of flying demon that is quite hard to catch. You have to do this on purpose a few times though when they’re in an area of the level which means you can’t push them to the rune.
You don’t get much time in each level, and when time is almost running out a skull starts flying around trying to kill you. When you fall through a hole in the floor you wrap around and fall from the ceiling.
There are 6 areas, and each one ends with a boss. All the areas up to the last it is a flying demon that is trapped in a cage. When all the others are caught it flies around. In the last level there is a large non-moving demon that you need to belch on several times.
Here is the rzx recording of my playthrough.
