House of Usher

House of Usher is a single-screen platformer for the Amstrad CPC. Starting in the reception hall, you must enter and escape rooms numbered one through nine before accessing room X, then room Y, and finally leaving the house.

Each room presents different challenges, including gaps to jump, cannon fire, creatures, items, and other obstacles. Falling from a certain height or touching a creature costs one of your three lives and returns you to the reception hall. Room Y must also be completed before its timer reaches zero. Hearts found in each room award bonus points.
