Thank you🙂
My pleasure.
Great Game !!!! Thanks guy or guys !!
Thanks to you as well!
looks like a graphics hack of a very mid 2016 platformer with imprecise controls. i compared the original with this one and albeit it now features multicolor graphics the clarity of the original spritework (which was colorful enough already imho) is now lost.
all in all maybe a 7.0/10 (updated as per "request")
Did you even read before writing? Anyway, a 6.5 seems unfair to me, at least a 7! :-)
nope, i always write without reading. of course i read it. eh, read what, exactly? nevermind.
You're right, it's not important... but that 6.5 bothers me a little. 😀
Awesome !
Thanks! -:)
Nice one. But saving logic (to continue) seems to be tied to a high score entry. Wouldn't it make sense to save after any Game Over?
You are right, saving is related to the highest score. If saving occurs after Game Over, the game will be finished quickly. While saving in the high score table the player must work a bit harder to complete the game. :-)
played this on the amiga back in the mid 1990's, john hardie was author if i remember correct, nice to see it on c64, was also available on the PC under the name Dot's Adventure by edgar vidgal (RIP) of deluxe galaga/pacman fame
You remember well. To do the conversion from Amiga to C64 I contacted John Hardie and Diane Hardie to get their blessing for the C64 version. I still have the emails of the conversations with them!
Great to see this finally out! Thank you Wanax and Saul!
As you can see we did it, thank you!
Very nice game!
