Lily Lander

This cute one-button game was an entry into the Game Off 2019 game jam, developed during November 2019. TurtlePanda Games is a husband and wife duo, and this is their first C64 game – inspired by Robin Harbron's 8-Bit Show & Tell YouTube channel.

The player controls a frog, starting out on a static lily pad. By holding the fire button (port 1), the frog will make a longer jump to try and reach the next moving lily pad – a rising tone tells you how far the frog will attempt to jump.

The longer the successful jump, the more points scored. The frog is well animated and the scrolling background is very nicely drawn. There is also a pleasant tune playing in the background. It takes a few goes to get used to the controls so you will be seeing the splash animation a lot. But once you get the hang of jumping it is a fun little diversion.
