Well, there is this:

 

 

The only unclear thing to me is that the video description suggests it's downloadable, but I do not think it is and it seems like this one is going to be physical only release.

@popmilo Game looks incredible, mate...

 

Your soft sprite engine is on another level...

I would say It's ok ;)
 

Nothing special about it really. Just multiple different routines for different sprite movement and sizes. Some are masked, some just eored in out, some simple lda+sta.
Gonna make better sprite routines next time :)

Sorry if this is covered before, but having just seen ZPH's mention of the release of the physical boxed version, I navigated to this page:

Interesting that the cart version can also come with the digital version on the pendrive (usb stick). At such a small amount extra, I think I'll just get the 48E version to have both the cart and digital versions.

 

One thing I am a little confused about is, rather like say The Last Squadron, or Attack of the Pescii robots, there was an option to download a digtial version, (just a download), for those who either didn't want a boxed version (or couldn't afford it). It seems a shame there isn't a 4th purchase option here with Tony, to just pay a small amount (I dunno, say 10E), for a digital download only.

 

Anyways, will be putting an order in for the full boxed cart/pendrive version this weekend. :)

Well just paid my 48 Euro's plus 14 Euro postage to the UK for my boxed cart/pendrive copy.

Looking forward to it as it has a nice load of extras:

I ordered this as well but couldn't wait for it to arrive so I also purchased the digital version. The game is fun and challenging. If anyone figures out how to get it to work on MiSTer please let me know.

Thanks for the support :)
And if you can tell me what issues there are with mister ?
I thought it could just work similar to atari400 mini etc ?

V1.1. is up on Itch.io with fixed missing "spacebar to change main color".
Enjoy !

 

Great, and well done for finishing the game for a release. Great job.

 

For the standalone digital downloads I can see these updates are easy for those who have paid as I can just download the latest version using the unique url Itch.io gives the buyer at the time of purchase.

 

However, how does it work for those who have bought the boxed cart versions which are sealed? Presumably the boxed versions have the v 1.0 with the missing spacebar bug?

I think there's a itch.io key or something like that included with boxed versions... Or something like that :)
I wouldn't worry, everybody will be able to get updated versions one or the other way....

I just saw gameplay video of both the Atari and C64 versions, and to me the movement of the sprites is much more smooth and fluid on the Atari.  I would have expected the C64 coder to take advantage of the C64's hardware sprites, but that doesn't appear to be the case and the Atari softsprites look smoother as they move around the screen.  (Unless the comparative chunkiness of the C64 version was just due to the video capture).

Thanks, but I am still a little confused here. For those people who have bought the boxed cart only version which is sealed in the box with presumably the v1. 0 version with the space bar bug, I am curious... how would they update their cart to v1.1 for example?

@Jacques  just seen your post over on Atarionline.pl about this. Download the latest v1. 1 and you'll be able to change the background colour using the space bar. :)

Here are some screenshots. I have tried a few different boot files.

This is the same kind of thing that happens in Mikie, according to @foft it has something to do with writing to unused by Atari, but used by the FPGA core parts of the ANTIC register.

Thanks for that. I can stop trying different boot files now. :)
