Save Niceland from chaos!
The inhabitants of this quiet place made a huge mistake when they decided to bulldoze Ralph's home in the forest to build an apartment block. Now he is raging and destroying everything around him! Fortunately, Ralph's arch enemy, Felix Jr., has to come to the rescue... He must use his magic hammer to repair all the windows that the giant keeps breaking!
Unfortunately, climbing a tall building is hard enough without an angry villain attacking you! The brave protagonist of this story needs your help...Give him a hand to fix everyone's windows and put a stop to the mayhem going on in town!
However, no noble mission is easy to accomplish! The intimidating Wreck-It Ralph is waiting for you at the top story of each level. He will throw bricks at you and try to stop you from repairing the building. What is more, you need to watch out for unexpected obstacles during your ascent... Even ducks can make you lose a precious life!
The game consists of multiple levels, where you find yourself at the bottom part of the screen, while Ralph is above you, throwing bricks around in rage. Your mission is to fix all the windows in sight without falling off.
What is more, you need to make sure you don't run out of time! Check on how much time you have remaining by keeping an eye on the timer clock at the top of the screen. Here you can also see your current score and how many lives you can count on. Make sure to move swiftly and carefully! Once you lose all your four lives, you have to start the game from the very beginning!
Thankfully, the citizens of Niceland love Fix-It Felix Jr.! You will see them pop up in their window from time to time, leaving a piping hot apple pie for you. Yum! Pick it up as fast as you can, as it will give you extra points, invincibility for a short time, plus the ability to smash through bricks, piles, and even teach those pesky ducks a lesson. Teach two ducks a lesson while high on pie to triple the score, that's the cherry on the top! You'll need all the points that you can score, as you'll get an extra life every 20,000.

Will there be gamepad support?
Awesome and very funny game! Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 00:01:37 Automatic subtitles are also available (turn on, if necessary). Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Does running it on NTSC make the game run faster than on PAL or was it slowed down to try to make it match PAL gameplay speed?
Hello, I have recently bought the game and would like to download it onto a tape using the tap file, is it possible to get this?
Well, not sure... there's a .d64 on Archive.org that seems to me the original version (https://archive.org/download/felix_c64).
Is this one different?
Cannot play this on Vice3DS any idea why?
Lovely game - here is my tribute...
and here is the japanese cover: https://ibb.co/tzp1371
Unfortunately I can't run this CRT with my SIDEkick - it'll be cool having a .d64 version/file too :)
From what I see I really really will love this game :)
My advice??? Get a Kungfuflash no doubt!!! cheap and powerful gadget...

Thanks for the update! The hi-score saver is a must :)
Nice game!
nice game nice game is the only thing you write,
Nice comment!
Nice sense of humor !
Love it
Version 1.0 (.d64, .tap and .prg ) will no longer be available for download?
Hi. We deleted to avoid confusion and because by now everyone has downloaded it, but if there's still demand I'll make it available!
Thanks
Hi.
I asked this thinking about users who have previously purchased version 1.0 and are unable to run .crt (for various reasons). Is it a good idea to remove 1.0 in this case?
Good point. I'll reupload it.
Thanks
A 1.1 in Prg and D64 would be nice too.
Where exactly can i find the 1.0? I need a tap file
Thank you for the v1.1 update! Such a wonderful game :)
I just watched wreck it ralph lol
Actually Amazing game, so much fun, Lots of hard work in this, thanks for your time and effort, So happy to support it :)
Delightful game and very well implemented. I'm back here today, to show a little love to the developer and donate to his cause.
Thank you so much for you feedback.
Messages like that keep us going!
hi, works on THEC64 MAXI ? thx.
yes
great thx
I Love thie game. It's pretty close to the original arcade 😉.
The only thing I'm missing, is that it doesn't save the high scores. Or should it save them and I did something wrong?
Finally I can play this fantastic game on my C64. Thanks to the developers and thank you for the great idea to combine the download of the game with a donation campaign for UNICEF. A great idea!!!
The graphics are top notch
This is incredibly fun to play. I really appreciate all the hard work that went into this. It has such excellent playability and works very well on the C64 Maxi. Thank you so much.
This is a masterpiece! :)
I wonder about the level selection: it is possible to choose levels 1-16, but it looks like 16 is not the last level, but the game does get harder even after that? If one starts at level 16, it looks like there will be two birds and two balconies, but after a few levels, the number of balconies will go up to four.
I wonder if there is a level limit after which all the levels will be of equal difficulty, or will the game get harder indefinitely some way? (max bird speed seem to be a little bit faster also in after level 16)
Definitely 5/5 arcade game mechanics, great work!
Yes, that is the game difficulty in general. Every time you clear a floor, the difficulty increases a tiny bit. Birds get faster, Ralph gets faster and spend less time in "angry mode", so you don't have much notice before he starts throwing bricks, and various other little things. The maximum difficulty is at level 48. Now normally if you start from level 1, you might not get to level 48 because you complete the game before (999999 score). Starting from level 16 will make it possible to experience the highest difficulty level. But good luck with that!!!
beautiful, very faithful to the original arcade version.
btw, it's working perfectly on my PAL-N Drean Commodore 64, speech included.
Great game. Simple and fun. My son loves it.
I've been playing this with the kids, great old style arcade fun, very playable and has a real one more go feel to it all. Top notch game, and well worth dropping a few pounds to a good cause
A very cool and funny game with beautiful and colorful graphics, the animations and sound effects are great and it works perfectly on my The C64 full -size. Don't hesitate to remunerate the author, it's for a good cause !
A great conversion - was delighted to do some playtesting for this game. Decided to do a Low-Score challenge video (I like to do things a bit differently to other YouTubers) - check it out if you like:
I can't convince the game to get past the loading screen. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong. I'm using RetroArch to load the prg file using the VICE fast core. I have an Xbox 360 gamepad assigned to port #2. Should this be working under this configuration?
中文有吗？
Pure joy ! Kids loved it. Looking forward for other titles from you.
this game is great anyway, I might port this onto my arcade cabinet that glitched out. thank you for helping me fix it pal! the only problem is that it wont run on laptop. it'sa how I test things. I sold my C64 3 years ago. :/
Excelente iniciativa que pone a grandes seres humanos, a crear tras un monitor y un teclado, por los niños. Gracias por devolver a la ilusión de cuando críos y por fomentarla hoy en día.
Enhorabuena por tan bonito juego y causa.
Just been playing this on a The C64 (AKA: C64 Maxi) & it works perfectly.
Fantastic work as always mate.
This game is awesome, it catch all the good things of the original and blast them into our C64.
Just fabulous - well worth a few pounds donation.
Huge congratulations to everyone involved - a great piece of software...
