Gawd, I never thought this one would see the light of day. {yolkfolk}:crazy:  

This was due to come out last year, but because of other things going on, its only taken me until now to finish it.
Hopefully it should be working.

 

v1.2

{eggs2}:pcgame:

:egg: Yolkfolk.com

(Also following recent events, I have left a present in the Password Journal text file.)

 

 

  {eggs3}:stun: UPDATE TO v1.2 (Mar 2026)

Tweaks to game engines, display and character sprites.

 

STORY:

Rick Dangerous and the Magic Knight have trespassed into the Ancient Temple where the Kingdom Gems are kept.

After escaping the temple with the gems, Rick and Magic are chased through the forest by ghosts from the Ancient Land.
Fearing for their lives, Magic casts a spell that sends the Kingdom Gems to far away locations around the Kingdom of Trollwood.

Xern, a resident wizard who lives near the temple, travels from Trollwood to the neighbouring Kingdom of Zakeria to tell Theodore about the incident that took place.

In the Yolkfolk Village, Dizzy and Seymour are yet to learn about the adventure that awaits them both.
Can they find the Kingdom Gems once more?

 

CONTROLS:

– MAIN MENU/OPTIONS CONTROLS
ARROW KEYS UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT
ENTER – Confirm Option

– INGAME CONTROLS (Default) LEFT and RIGHT Arrows – Walk
RIGHT CTRL – Jump

The ingame controls can be changed by pressing F5 anytime during the game and clicking on the tick box next to ‘Keyboard’.

ENTER – Pause/Unpause game
ESCAPE – Quits to Main Menu during gameplay.

F2 – Resets game
F5 – Redefine Keys

 

FEATURES:

— When you start up a game, you can choose to play as either Dizzy or Seymour.
But bare in mind, the behaviour of some of the levels will vary depending on who you play as during gameplay.

— Ingame cutscenes can be skipped by pressing SPACE.

— On the Options screen, you can choose to play the game with or without lives via “Game Mode”.

— Also on the Options screen, you can enable or disable the game’s VSync and adjust the game’s volume settings for Music, SFX and Ambient Sounds separately.

 

PASSWORDS:

The password system can only be accessed via the game’s Main Menu option.
You will find passwords after finishing one chapter (or in other areas if you look carefully).

v1.2 NOW AVAILABLE.

:egg: DOWNLOAD VIA YOLKFOLK [ 17.9MB ]

The reason I've called this v1.2 instead of v2.0 like the other updates is simply because 'Dangerous Tymes' didn't need any extreme work like the other games.

 

— A disclaimer from EA added when the game starts up.
Meaning the old disclaimer on the Dizzy Fansite splash screen is now gone.

— The main Dizzy engine has been tweaked to add updated features taken from AndyUK’s cancelled “Lost Land Dizzy” engine.
– The player will no longer slide on ramped or rounded platforms.
– The player can now jump repeatedly when the ‘jump’ button is held.
Despite the fixes, the engine is still quirky in places.

— Game now uses the Ultimate Fullscreen plugin.

— Some characters have had their appearances changed.

@Adam can you use a gamepad with these games?

@madjackj Honest answer, I don't know as I don't own a USB gamepad.

But pressing F5 does give you a popup that allows you to change the controls, but I don't know if setting it to joystick will do anything though.
