Millie and Molly is a retro inspired puzzle game featuring 100 levels spread over five themed worlds. This is an Atari 7800 conversion of the Commodore 64 retro smash created by Carleton Handley.

BACKGROUND

I first saw this game on the Commodore 64 not long after it's release in early 2020. I thought it looked great, was really fun to play and had some unique features - all adding up to a very enjoyable experience. The game is a platform puzzle game where you play grannies Millie and Molly (either separately or together) which starts off easy enough showing you how to dig through dirt, move blocks into position and kill monsters to complete each level. But don't let that fool you as the puzzles are very well constructed leaving you scratching your head soon enough!

SPECIAL THANKS

After making some initial contact with Carleton Handley in early March 2020 (after completing a proof of concept), the team continued to develop, build and test the game until it was around 90% complete. Carleton was very impressed with how well the game had come together, enough to suggest we contact his other team members Chun Wah Kong (level design), Saul Cross (graphics), and Hans Axelsson-Svala (music) to approve a release. We are very pleased to announce that each has given their blessing for our conversion to be released on cart.

Whilst we have had the pleasure to create this conversion we cannot thank each of them enough for designing such a brilliant, thoughtful and enjoyable game. If you are a Commodore 64 user and have yet to play this game please support Carleton and the team by purchasing the original.
