Trolls never cease to amaze me! :D Envy really is a bad beast. The people's generosity towards this little project has been nothing short of amazing, far exceeding my expectations. People were actually asking how to donate before I even had a system in place! Of course, as it is obvious to any sound-minded individual, a project like this can't be done for the money, first because the amount of working hours it requires means it should sell in the thousands to get even remotely close to break even, let alone profit. And of course, it's released as "name your price", meaning 99,99% of the people are going to get it for free anyway, as intended... Again, most people understand all of this without being told, and some even choose to donate out of sheer gratitude.

Oh, by the way, your reimagining of TLN is amazing. Keep it up!

thank you! Enjoy our mod!😃

it would require a major code rewrite 

Looks awesome, I'll try it, thanks!

Very nice, thank you!

thank you, enjoy!

thank you, enjoy!

Hello, thanks for playing our hack. As stated in the manual, you can press Q to quit to the home screen.

press Q to quit to the title screen. There are that much changes we can do to the original code

thank you 😃

Hi, thank you! Nice nickname, I love RoboCop! Yes, all going well, the fire-to-start feature is coming in v1.1, along with two-button controls.

thanks for the video!

thanks, enjoy!😃👍🏻

Thank you for making a video for our little remaster!😃👍🏻

Thank you! That's exactly what I hoped for. Enjoy!

Thank you Richard for your kind words! My original copy of Bubble Bobble was on disk without any loading picture. Do you mean a classic tape loader with color bars? And music while loading?

Thank you!!

thank you 😊 practice makes perfect 👍🏻 

This is probably coming in v1.1 with two buttons control

the play area is already “fullscreen”, it is exactly the same width as the arcade and just 1 row shorter, so removing the stats from the right side won’t do any good as there’s no room on the top or bottom.

grazie 🙏🏻 divertiti!

Very nice!!

Commodore 64. You either play on a real machine or an emulator like VICE.

Awesome job, thank you!!

As for the tape, I too went down the same rabbit hole in the past :D

Thank you so much! I’m really glad to hear it runs well on NTSC too, that’s great news! It’s a real pleasure to receive such kind words from another passionate developer. The whole team will be thrilled to hear your feedback. Thanks again! ❤️👾

enjoy!!😃👍🏻

thanks, enjoy!! 😉 

awesome man, thank you!

He is in fact already helping us for v1.1, but thank you very much for the heads up anyway!!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😃

Sure! 😊

If you’re using VICE, it’s super easy — just drag and drop the .prg file onto the emulator window, and the game will start automatically.

If you don’t have VICE yet, you can grab it for free online (it’s the most popular Commodore 64 emulator). Once installed, you’re ready to play!

Hi!

Thanks a lot for your kind words and great suggestions! 😊

We’ll definitely consider adding an attract mode in a future update. The main challenge is technical — we have to stick closely to the game’s original structure, and deeper changes require a full reverse engineering, plus there’s very little free memory left, if at all.

Same goes for the keyboard start: we agree it would feel more natural on joystick, let’s see what happens in v1.1!

Thanks again for the support!

Awesome video thank you!

Awesome, thank you!

not yet but it’s coming in version 1.1!

thanks 😊 

thank you enjoy!!

thank you, enjoy!! Yes the game now waits for your input, we could only fit that much new code without breaking something. You can hit Q to quit to the home screen. I hope it’s an acceptable compromise

One thing I’ve always noticed, which I believe is related, can be clearly seen in level 13, the “heart.” If you stand on the highest platforms of the heart, just under the openings in the ceiling, and grab a water bubble from a precise spot, the stream passes through the platform. This is very useful for safely sweeping away enemies or entering the heart. You can do this from both sides, but on the right the correct position seems to be shifted further to the right.

Due to my style of play, I never really noticed or assumed it was a bug. Now I want to try!
