V1.8 Has been uploaded to Windows, Fixing the Boss Key and some other minor bugs.  The Engine Manual has been updated with the latest info if you're building your own game.

Windows released today, macOS and Linux to follow later this week.

Thank you :)

Ah, the infamous Boss Key… I went with the old-school late-80s PC trick of making it look like you were working instead of playing. I’ll be adding an option in the config to change or disable it in the next update.

Once I’ve compiled the new version across the different systems, ESC will be back to its usual role for quitting or restarting the level.

And thanks for the heads-up on Andy’s website, I’ll fix that link in the next release too!

Loved the game, Though I went a different direction and provided a quick tutorial on finding infinite lives, and hopefully the first cheat of the release ;)

This is perfection in a TZX.  Well done, as near perfect conversion as I've ever seen and love the V1.1 update. 

Who is benefiting from the £10 fee?
