Fitzroy and the Confounding Labyrinth by awergh is a top-down action game for the Amstrad CPC and is a 2022 entry for the CPCRetroDev game competition. This game includes two items from ‘Larcena’s Legacy’. One is glasses and the other is a special coin.

The story of the game is about an ancient artifact which is the only hope left for the incoming darkness. This great artifact was stored away for safe keeping, to prevent it falling into the wrong hands. The archivists had put it away somewhere safe, somewhere in the labyrinth. Now, you have to go on a journey full of adventures and retrieve it. Every step of the way through the labyrinth is designed to kill, it is your task to recover all the pieces of the artifact, to reassemble the great artifact and repel the darkness. There are several different player actions that have been combined into a single control. Some of them include:

Droppable Block Mechanic:

This is a block that Fitzroy can carry and drop into the level. He cannot shoot or activate an interactive object while carrying a block. He can also only carry a single block at a time.

Interactive Object:

If Fitzroy is on top of an interactive object, then the interactive object will be activated.

Carrying a block:

If Fitzroy is carrying a block, he will drop the block (if there is a clear space for it in front of him). Otherwise, he will fire the bow (assuming he has picked it up and has sufficient ammo). ​

The aim of the game is to stun enemies with paint balls and then eat them. When you have gained enough weight, all players must step on the switch to open the door to the next level. The player who wins the race to the door first wins the level and gets a bonus. The game contains 33 challenging levels with a variety of enemies with very different behaviours to keep you on your seat.

Tagging: ‘Tag’ the level with your paint balls to gain a bonus, fighting with the other player or enemies to keep the platforms painted in your colour.

The Crown: The player wearing the crown is immune to get hit on the head. Watch out though, the crown will fall off when you eat or get hit by an enemy!

More Tips: The map wraps in all directions, so falling out of the bottom of the screen will make you fall from the top. Enemies can be eaten from a considerable range and in mid-air, so use that to your advantage in order to getting too close to non-stunned enemies.​
