I hope the devs will see this. There is a bug with loading the levels at "NEW" and "NEW+" game. When starting a "NEW" game the level 1 map is mirrored and not like in the "maps booklet" of the physical version.

Thats fine I think, because the booklet seems to show the "NEW+" level 1.

But now to the bug: after pressing ingame F10 (return to title) and choosing "NEW+", the level is now like the "map booklet" (which is okay). After pressing again F10 and choosing "NEW" game, the loaded map always will be the map from "NEW+". The game does not load the normal map again. It will load always the "NEW+" map. (that happened with your actual game disks which were installed to HDD)

Another problem: While playing the "NEW" game and after using the end teleport at level 2-2 (4th level), you get teleported to a field surrounded by walls and no chance to get out of them (only by pressing Q or E, which will teleport you back to the 4th level). So its not possible to finish the game on "NEW" level mode. (here I used the WHDLoad version of the game)

What is this new+ mode? It is available even if new is impossible to finish? I wanted to buy this game, now I'm confused if it is worth it.

The new+ modehas a harder difficulty and reversed maps

Oh, nice you are here, I was afraid that maybe you abandoned the production. What about issue reported by maneus? Will it be fixed? Is it really not possible to finish game, because of the bug he found?

I finished the game two days ago with the "NEW+" game mode. It was not a problem. But at level 5-2 in this new mode there is an area where you need a "section C key" for another door. But you will find only a "section A key" and a "section B key" (which are not needed in this area of the level) in the lockers around.

This is the area:

But this area is not important for finishing the game.

But if I understand correctly, standard "NEW" mode is unfinishable?

No, as Maneus just posted, New+ is completable

I have some news: I tried the "normal" NEW mode with the original disks from my physical version. I was able to teleport from the 4th to the 5th level. There was the lift door infront of me, but immediately it switched to a wall. I wondered why and I found out, that it was an enemy. Every time a enemy moves over a field with a "lift door", the enemy transform into a "normal" wall. No idea why. ^^ After that I loaded my old savestate (in WinUAE) where I got stuck at the "normal" NEW game mode in the 5th level(which I wrote at my first entry above). And lo and behold, one of the walls was an enemy.I found it out when I saw some hitpoints while shooting against the walls. After the enemy was killed, the entrance to the 5th level was free.

So both modes are fully playable. The problem was the enemy disguised as a wall. ^^
