This is a Sega Master System game "inspired" by the Atari 2600 game Solar Fox. "Raposa do Sol" means Sun Fox in pt-br.

Coded by tibonev

using the SMSDevkit by sverx

levels designed using Tiled

music done using Furnace

To build it, you need a working copy of SDCC and SMSDevkit, with crt0, lib(SMSlib) and PSGlib inside their own folders, relative to main.c, if you're in a windows enviroment, then all you need to do is run build.bat. Otherwise you might need to execute the commands yourself.

There's a PHP companion tool, to convert Tiled's CSV output to C Array used in the code.

Instructions:

1. Move the ship with the D-Pad
2. Hold Button 1 to use the speed boost.

Your mission, choose you accept it is to recover all the satelittes without getting shot by the turrets, good luck. Oh yeah, there's a time limit also. oops.
