You can send a comment, with a win game screenshot if you complete the game, and a review would be nice as well.
Also, who is the fastest with the new speedrun feature?! 😁
Please do not do this, if you play with trainer!
Also, play it on a real commodore 64, for the real graphics look and sound ❤️
As this is (almost) a one-man operation, occasionally I have to pay for resources, help etc.
Any donations are greatly appreciated, and goes 100% towards producing the sequel to Curse of the Pharaoh ☺️

Nice game, even if it looks technically outdated. Furthermore, the collision detection is sometimes inaccurate, which makes the controls quite difficult. Our German-language review can be found at 00:54:50. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Did not finish but it was fun!
Nice run though 🤩
That was a blast!
Really great oldschool fun.
Small game, a bit hard if you're not familiar with 80s games, and that is how games should be.
Thanks! And well done! 😁
Nice :)
Thanks 🤩
Funny Game :)
Thanks 🤩
A really good platformer. I added it to my video along with other games released in February.
Thanks 🤩
Great game

Thanks 🤩
Very nice game, very hard sprite collission detection.
It's the default hardware sprite detection being used here. ;)
Yeah I was thinking about bounding volume test, but kinda ending up liking it for that retro difficulty 🫣
Yes. Yes it is 😆🫣
very good
Thanks 🤩
Awesome game!
Nice thanks 😁
To fix the graphics corruption, just add a SEI at start.
HF was too slow it seems. ;-)
Yeah I suspected something like that, will fix tonight thanks 🙏
Not sure if it's the emu timing. Real hardware does not exhibit this issue. I can only get it sometimes with autoattach disk in VICE 🤔
Graphics corruption bug is still present in V1.1. Just change the CLI to a SEI after switching to game charset and all works fine, or use zero page adresses which are not used by the kernel IRQ $ea31. ($80... is a bad idea).

I hope its fixed now! It was a wrong value written to $d016 i think, but I also added the interrupt stuff and fixed a duplicate ZP var
You were monitoring the wrong cracking group ;)
LOL. It's a loosing battle 🫣
I wonder if they found the hidden messages for the crackers in the code? 🤔
Personally, I think the game has potential and could be expanded further and released on physical media, which we at K&A PLUS can offer you 😉
