This is Porcupine, a small yet fun game that uses two old Amiga songs by me. Requires Unity to run. Released in December 2013.

Flappy Bird with the Flu
Windy Ping is a flappy bird game by Dacondestudios with a happy song by me that I made when I was a teenager in the 1990s and had the flu.
Rent-a-Cop Reloaded Preview
A new version of the C64-game Rent-a-Cop, that I made music and sound effects for. The previous version had other graphics, and was only 16 kilobytes big.
HT Gold Gets Cracked and Hated
In 2008 we hacked an old C64-game and turned it an even more fun game, that also looked a lot better: HT Gold. I guess it’s called glitch art. It was exhibited in a number of places, but it wasnt released in the scene. Until now.
It’s a funny coincidence, since I talked about HT Gold a while ago, as a perfect example of something that works in the art world but not in the scene. And it turns out I was right — just read the comments.

Rent-a-Cop on Cartridge
I made the music and sound effects for Rent-a-Cop, a C64-game by Achim Volkers. The whole game is 16 kilobytes. Here’s a lowsy pic of the cartridge version of the game. Not sure if it’s for sale anywhere, but it’s free for download here.
We’ve Been Cracked!
Rent A Cop has been cracked! Laxity added unlimited lives, hi-score saver, and so on. And they released it the same day. Good work. d0Odz!
The C64 cracking scene is perhaps even more obscure than the demoscene. Alive and kicking, and really difficult to understand for outsiders. But they still strugge to get releases out first, and score the best points in the charts. Laxity has cracked more than 100 games – only in 2012!
Too bad they didn’t fix the bugs in the sound effects while they were at it. Actually, would be nice with a cracker group specialized in music. They would Open and Improve music, just like they do with games. Plenty of music could use a good crack.
A New 16kb Game: Rent a Cop
Achim Volkers made Rent A Cop for the RGCD competition, with music and sfx by me. The gameplay is a remix of Keystone Kapers for Atari, and all of it fits into 16 kilobytes.
I tried to make something inbetween Dirty Harry suspense and monotonous acid. So it’s Acid Police! The jingles are sort of mysteriously rhodesey, and the hi-score tune sounds a bit like soft 90’s electronica. I’m quite happy with the results!
Nevertheless, there will be another version out soon. Larger than 16 kilobytes, so I can add more sound effects. And btw, the picture is not in this version of the game. Don’t be fooled! Fight crime! Live the law!
