This new C64 sliding puzzle game looks like a great challenge - I can't wait to try it!
You look like the type of person who'd enjoy this jam: WOW JAM
They have a very interesting platform and are even offering prizes xD
Thanx
Never seen this "console" ... may be interesting, but learning its architecture before the jam is impossible ! I have a family, a job, and a life !!!
Hi, Nikola is an automated bot promoting some random game jam (Look at their profile) Watch out :)
ok thanx for this
Good job! Puzzles (2025, RetroProgrammation)
thanks
Nice puzzle game, thanks. I added it to my new "Gameplay of New C64 Games from April 2025" video along with other recently released games. I hope you enjoy the video.
Hi !
And thanks for the attention :)
Great game, thanks
You are welcome !
It just load a black screen for me with Vice 3.9 (GTK3 3.24.43).
Tried with GTK3VICE-3.9-win64.
Have you changed some ROM ? (BASIC, KERNEL) ?
The game works correctly with :
- kernal-901227-01.bin
- basic-901226-01.bin
- chargen-901225-01.bin
You can change these in Preferences>Settings>Machine>ROM
I'll try to find how to correct this, but I've done the code to run on my VICE 3.1 and real C64... Sorry for inconvenience.
Tried with WinVICE 3.1 from https://csdb.dk/release/?id=155140
and GTK3VICE-3.9-win64 from https://csdb.dk/release/?id=248528
Same blue-screen behaviour.
have you tried with kernal-901227-01 (C64 rev.1 kernal) ?
Its all default here. No problem thanks for your work and tips anyway.
Possible to get your config ?
- Emulator version
- Basic, Kernal, Charset binary filename
- Video parameters (VIC II settings)
- C64 Model (I use RTC Base C64 PAL)
I'll try to correct it. It's my first release, and any return is precious for the future.

Hi!
Thanks for these elements.
Well, my last revision ( Puzzles2-v1.25.430.crt ) works perfectly with this configuration on windows 11 with GTK3VICE-3.9-win64\bin\x64sc.exe
It also works with x128.exe
I've made a version that run on Kernel Rev2 and Rev3
Run also on Rev1 ^_^
Let's try the other file !
Cannot start the download image in VICE. Exits to blue READY screen immediately. :(
have you tried with kernal-901227-01 (C64 rev.1 kernal) ?
Puzzles2-C64KernelRev2&3.crt works in GTK3VICE-3.9, latest build again not.
At least I could have a look at it. Some pictures are nice, others are OK but "Me & My Cat" is ugly converted.
Me&MyCat looks like this
