    COMMODORE FREE: Wow now this is pushing the box out, Great spooky title music, that drifts in and out it's a scrolling sideways game with zombies appearing
    in front of you and walking along the roads, some odd things happen like your gun target disappears behind bins and to shoot the popup zombies you have to shoot their arms then torso then hands then head! Heck that's a lot of shooting, congratulations on the format though really off the wall idea with SEUCK, I also love the trance techno music with the Documentation check out
    the tap file and the graphics file as well, pity they couldn't all be combined into one file or menu system!

    COMMODORE FREE: Nice spacey music on the title screen, pressing on ohhhh nice title screen and graphics, in game music is just superb very spacey almost to much space, the graphics look amazing on the backgrounds not so much the ships though, really nice use of colour and depth the static picture doesn't do this any justice at all, it does suffer from some graphical glitches and slow down but this is more the SEUCK engine than anything else, it's a top down scroller I kept going back to this mainly for the graphics and music more than the game still it's a very commendable effort

    COMMODORE FREE: Interesting piece of music on the Instruction page, quite sombre, nice tune but pressing on....Back arrow to decrunch.

    Oh very interesting music on the title page, lovely base but it's not a techno trance tune, quite experimental even oriental in parts.

    The games main problem is that the main character seem to blend into the background and personally I found it hard to see him, the in game sounds, some are ok some don't really fit the game, it's definitely a SUECK game albeit a sideways scrolling one. If you are a SEUCK fan then it's worth a look other wise.....

    AUFWAERTS SEUCK C64

    Name: Aufwaerts
    (Going Upwards)
    SEUCK Version: Vertical SEUCK
    Game by: Sonny Top (Bamse)
    Music: by: Richard Bayliss

    Richard Bayliss

    Instructions:

    You are a soap bubble, moving its way upwards toward heaven. The trouble is that you have a long distance to travel to get up there. Guide your bubble safely through the course, avoiding contact with enemies or the sides. Beware, because if you lose a bubble you might appear off course. Memorise the map at the beginning of each level carefully before making your journey across the course. Player 1 controls a large bubble, which cannot shoot. Player 2 controls a small bubble which can shoot.

    COMMODORE FREE: It's an interesting game as far a SEUCK can go, you are controlling a bubble! Now it's not everyday you play a game as a bubble, collecting various things along the way, however some of the routes lead to dead ends where you POP and die, then you could be randomly re emerged out of the course and die almost instantly. The key is learning the track and layout (as with all SEUCK games) the title music is jolly and foot tapping and the in game sounds are good.
