Pixiedust is a vertical scrolling from Darkstone, released as an entry to the #msxdev compo of 2012 that supports MSX-MUSIC. In this game you play with a little pixie, attempting to dodge the enemies that come your way. Somehow the gameplay reminds a bit of River Raid.

The game was developed in co-operation with Infinite who have just released the entire source code of the game right here. An invaluable source of information for developers who would like to develop their own game.

Does anyone know if the source-code for this game is still available. Can't find it anymore on Infinite's website.

Unfortunately none of those snapshots seem to work, as all of them show:
