Space Pest Control
This is my entry for CPC Retro Dev 2015, targeting the Amstrad CPC 464 (should work in later models too). The game was nominated in the PRO category.
The game was reviewed at CPC Game Reviews (score: 7).

Default keys can be redefined in the main menu. Select joystick and keyboard again to reset configuration to the default keys.
During the game, press ESC to leave the game and return to the menu.
