Blok Boy is a classic arcade-style maze game where players navigate through intricate mazes, consuming dots and avoiding the cube-like inhabitants. As players consume more dots, these cube-folk become enraged, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay.
This game was developed in NextBASIC for the ZX Spectrum Next, initially released in 2020 under the name 'Pucboy'. It has since undergone optimizations, graphic updates, and feature enhancements, evolving into Blok Boy.
Blok Boy offers three unique maze layouts, each becoming progressively more challenging as players advance. The game includes a high score table, proper AY sound effects, and animated graphics, providing a nostalgic yet engaging experience.
The game also comes with a six-page PDF guide that provides tips on tweaking the game and technical information. Players can also access the source code in .txt format, allowing for further exploration and modification of the game mechanics.

A classic maze-munching arcade game! Eat your way through mazes, slurping up dots, munching on the dopey cube-folk who live in the maze. As dopey as they are, they don't stay that way - when you've eaten just too many of their dot's, it puts them in a rage! This game is written entirely in NextBASIC for the ZX Spectrum Next. It was originally written in 2020 when I first got my next, under the name 'Pucboy'. However a lot of optimisation and rethinking later, some new graphics and additional features and Blok Boy was born! FEATURES • Arcade-style maze game action • Supports both Keyboard and Joystick • Top 5 high score table • Increasing difficulty as you progress levels. • 3 unique maze layouts • Proper AY Sound effects (i.e. not BEEP) and little 'tunelets' of sorts. • Animated graphics • Source code in .txt format (with comments) • Six-page PDF with a few tips on tweaking game and some technical info. • PDF User guide to explain game and controls
