EgoTrip released a new game for the Amstrad CPC called Oceano. In Oceano you are playing Amy who explores the sea to collect 20 power crystals which were lost in the ocean long time ago. During her journey through the deep sea, you have to avoid robotic fishes, acid bubbles and prevent sinking of the submarine.
The game was written with the Arcade Game Designer (AGD) and uses joystick controls. You can download and discuss the game from the CPC Wiki forums or at the end of this news.
