TILTRUNE

TILT THE VAULT. READ THE FALL. FIND THE EXIT.

The room is your mechanism. Turn it through 90 degrees and the explorer, crates and gems fall into a new arrangement. A wall that stopped you can become your next floor. Collect every gem, then reach the green exit.

Move a crate into place, turn a dangerous drop into a safe landing and plan one tilt ahead. Falling crates and spikes can end an attempt. You have unlimited retries: experiment, undo and try again as often as you need.

FEATURES

- 80+ main rooms across five vaults and a special final chamber.

- Bonus challenges unlocked beyond the ending.

- Rotate the entire room left or right through 90 degrees.

- Push crates, collect falling gems and use gravity to build your route.

- Up to 100 stored undo states and unlimited retries.

- Par targets, stars, best room results and completion statistics.

- Joystick in either C64 port, or W/A/S/D and SPACE on the keyboard.

- Disk records for your progress and best results.

TRY THE FREE DEMO

Explore the first ten rooms of the Sandstone Vault before choosing the full game. Demo progress lasts for the current session. The full game adds the remaining vaults, the final chamber, bonus challenges and disk records.

CONTROLS

Walk with LEFT / RIGHT. Hold FIRE + LEFT / RIGHT to tilt the room. FIRE + UP undoes a move. While alive, hold FIRE + DOWN for about 0.7 seconds to restart; continue holding for about four seconds total to skip an eligible main room. After death, a short restart press is enough; release it before a new skip hold. At most two skipped main rooms may remain unsolved. The final chamber and bonus rooms cannot be skipped. There is no jump.

Keyboard: W/A/S/D for directions, SPACE for FIRE, U for undo and R for restart. The hold timings above are approximate PAL timings.

Return to title with RUN/STOP or Q. FIRE confirms; another fresh control cancels. Release the decision control before continuing. Starting again from the title resets the selected room; active positions and undo history are not preserved. The Full game attempts to save records when the return is confirmed. Demo records and unlocked rooms remain in RAM for the current session only.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Tested by the publisher on THEC64 Mini and THEC64 Maxi.

TILTRUNE is a Commodore 64 program. You need compatible C64 hardware or a suitable C64 emulator; PAL is the recommended starting configuration. It is not a native Windows, macOS or Linux game. An emulator and Commodore ROM files are not included. CRT playback needs a Magic Desk-compatible cartridge system or emulator.

Keeping records requires a writable disk or disk image in drive 8, including when playing from PRG or CRT. Records save at vault boundaries, the ending and the end of the bonus sequence; the Full game also attempts to save them on a confirmed return to the title. They do not preserve the active room or undo history after power-off. Keep a private offline backup of your record disk. Read the manual for record-file limits and setup information.
