I hear you — and I’m floppy disks’ number one fan.
Unfortunately, they’re becoming a scarce resource, and maintaining code for two different targets is a bit of a headache for the programmer. It also means we can’t really use either format to the best of its potential.
Say we wanted to publish this on physical media (and I'm not saying we will...), almost no publisher supports floppies anymore. So, if we have to choose one format to drop in order to keep things simple, the floppy is the obvious candidate.
We already implemented fire button two for jump. Make sure your emulator is set up in a way that fire button 2 is assigned to a phisical button on the joypad and you should be good to go.
All right, the new level skipping the splash screen issue has been fixed. You can download the new version, apologies for the problem and thanks for your feedback!
On easy mode the levels are not unlocked. If you select easy mode and wait a bit in the difficulty selection menu, you get a scroller that tells you what each difficulty level does (and doesn't). On normal difficulty the progress is saved, but mind you that it is still not the case if you are using a REU emulation in VICE, because the REU deactivates the saving capabilities of the Easyflah device. Noticed the screen flashing issue on that configuration and I managed to reproduce it (key buffering glitch). It'll be fixed in the upcoming build. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your comment. We are working on possibility to add credit card payment, but it makes the charity aspect a bit more complex (basically we get double taxation). Curious as to why paypal is not a viable option for you, can you tell us more? thanks!
Yes you can play it on the Maxi, and you need the Digital Download version from this very page. Mind you, the game saves the progress on the cart eeprom (when playing on Vice, for instance) and we are not sure how the C64 maxi handles that. Of course, that's not a problem because you can obtain the same result with savestates.
Hi. Unfortunately the 1541Ultimate devices don't support EasyFlash and REU emulation at the same time, so Vice or real HW are your best options. This is a problem with the 1541Ultimate, and there's nothing we can do about it. Anyways, the differences between REU and non-REU are minimal and barely noticeable anyway (just a slightly faster screen rendering).
The game is Cart only. This could never run from a floppy disk, it'd need 10 of them :-) To play on your real C64 you can use an Easyflash, 1541U2 or similar devices.
Grazie dell'aggiornamento. C64 Forever, se non sbaglio, utilizza una vecchia versione di Vice. Con le nuove tutto dovrebbe funzionare. Ho fixato il bug sul menu e ora non ci dovrebbero essere problemi. Ti prego di riscaricare la versione 1.01. Grazie!
Grazie della segnalazione. Sono riuscito a riprodurre il problema e ho aggiornato il download. Ora non dovrebbe più dare problemi sulla tua configurazione. Grazie infinite.
