☆Game Of The Day - Solar Flux Pocket Edition☆ @SolarFluxGame @FireBrandGames #GamersUnite

"Solar Flux - Pocket Edition"

Solar Flux  
1. The measure of the total power of electromagnetic radiation (including infrared, ultraviolet, and visible light). The power may be the total emitted from a source, or the total landing on a particular surface.

Sometimes when you have downloaded  a game to your mobile and open it up you can tell immediately that you are going to enjoy it, Solar Flux is one of those games.

From that important first impression of the title screen it sets a tone and an atmosphere that feels perfect for this unique Space Puzzle Game by Firebrand Games.

The ZX Spectrum is very dear to our hearts and to hear the spirit of the 'Speccy' is still alive and kicking in the Game Dev community is BASIC CODE MUSIC to our ears!

Speccy Jam is a 1 week game jam, where indie game devs from all over the planet come together to create speccy style games with the Sinclair ZX Spectrum being the basis of all inspiration

The video game can be developed for ANY type of platform just as long as it looks and feels like a Speccy game.
 

We love the concept and we love the speccy and we want all you Games Freezer followers to know about this great event and it would be even better if you got stuck in and produced a game!
