- It's been like ages since I've done an update. But that's because I was wanting to finish it before I released it. Well it's now finished. maybe not to the degree I'd of liked bvut it's pretty close. The reason for this, is so I could enter it into the BUNG Gameboy game programming competition. Which hopefully, I have a chance of winning with this game.
- What can I say that's changed, I've forgotten where I've left it last. There's now all the levels, 16 of them. There's 8 different baddies, and 4 types of Spaceship to build. The majority of the graphics have been redrawn by my brother. Viet Nguyen. With those new graphics I've also got a title screen. There's now music and sound fx, utilisiung the great Gameboy sound engine, GHX.
- Thanks to Manfred Linzner of www.shinen.com for donating the music/sfx and player routines. I've changed the control method back to the classic spectrum version. Although you can change that back in the option screen.
- There's a bunch of other spot effects added. Just play through the game and see.
