The author writes in the book exactly how he managed to contol the colors: the shapes that scroll pixel by pixel never mix with anything of different color horizontally. The things that move freely move in 8 pixel jumps. Magic.

I guess on those who had a ZX-Spectrum will bother watching. For actual game-play footage , jump to 5:38 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56IFFd43acU#t=5m38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56IFFd43acU#t=5m38
