The game has now made it to the world's largest game fair as one of the best 2 player releases of the last 12 months! We showed it to an enthusiastic audience on the Retro Stage of the Retro Area at Gamescom 2023 in Cologne and had two volunteers play it. You can watch the video here starting at 00:02:06. English subtitles should be available here. 🙂
I don't like that they are eating the enemies. It's disgusting how it looks. It would have been enough to paint them to the color of the background and they disappear. The hiscore music is very nice.
I heard they're going to do something similar in GTA6. Instead of mowing down enemies with machine guns, you tickle them with a feather and they laugh themselves off the screen.
Simon Jameson hat wieder ein richtig tolles 2 Spieler-Spiel herausgebracht. Ich habe die Entwicklung auf seinem Twitch-Kanal live mitverfolgt. Macht voll Spaß. 🕹
Auf meinem YouTube Kanal habe ich es im Rahmen der C64 Spielzeit vorgestellt. Schaut doch mal vorbei:
Love the original idea of gameplay, graphics and sound. This really has that oldschool vibe that I love so much from the fist area of the C64. Keep em comming!
Good point and apologies for not mentioning it. Actually I just tried it and while the title screen does freeze, if I bypass that the gameplay and other screens run fine on NTSC. I'll try over the next few days to work out why the title screen locks up and then put out a patched version.
Great game with very creative and funny gameplay, which is rare to find these days. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:42:24. Automatic subtitles should be available soon (switch on, if necessary). Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. :-)
Woaw and infinites waowwss ! This is a game that you have to play before you die. Millions cograts and thanks Arlasoft ! Now, we are looking forward for the physical edition. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
Graphics remind me a bit of Thing on a Spring. Lobbed this into the pile for us to hopefully review at Zzap. Out of interest who will the physical release be through?
A very good homebrew game with nice cartoon style graphics and also a very original concept. Nice music. If this game was released back in 1980s / 1990s, it would have been a great commercial title. Well done to the team behind this production.
Another platform game for the collection :) Great work. As the editor of the magazine "K&A PLUS"https://ka-plus.pl/en/ on behalf of the entire editorial team, we would like to establish cooperation with you. Feel free to contact us by email.

Hi! This game is really awesome! But I played it on VICE and experienced a crash (system frozen) here, when I got hit by a monster
.
have a nice day!

It was nice to see this in development. Turned out really lovely and plays great on my Steamdeck.
Excellent work from all involved.
Takes me back to the golden era of the C64. Here is my longplay of it.

The gameplay is very good and a lot of visual variation. Great visual FX of the characters. Well done!

Looks like this game is PAL only. Just a warning for any USA players who might intend to play on NTSC hardware

Sadly NTSC version doesnt work either on my NTSC BreadBin 83' board and VICii 6567...😭😭😭
Thanks for the info, I've got a tester in Canada who's going to run on real hardware and feedback what's happening.
I added an NTSC-only version, the title pages are cut right down until I can optimise them but the gameplay should work fine.
