A few months ago Nybbles and Bytes released a new C128 game which uses
40-column and 80-column modes, Nybbles: Legend of the Drunken Snake.
This is a description of it at the Patreon site --

------------

June's first ever video game, made especially for the Commodore 128
series of computers!

How fast are you with the joystick? Nybbles: Legend of the Drunken Snake
will certainly challenge your reflexes! Take turns with a friend to
become the longest running snake player ever, dodging booze and eating
apples, but be careful! Not everything is without consequences!

This is the digital download version of the game, which includes:

A PNG of the disk label

A PDF of the game manual

A D64 disk image of the game

A PRG program file of the game

-----------
Basically, it is a tricky Snake game in 40-columns followed by a Tetris
game in 80-columns. A video of the game play can be found at

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqXvZHCi4iI

Specifically, in the video game play starts in at :34 secs to 5:04 and
then resumes from 11:49 to 15:44.

If you have an early VDC in your C128, you will have to replace it with
a later version in order to correctly see the 80-column screen.
