I've tried playing a little.
Looks very interesting and it's really cool that they ported it to all the major platforms.
I just wonder why they chose mode 0 on the CPC when the game seems to only use 3 colors.
Yeah, I've had the same thought. It would have looked so much better in mode 1. A pity :(

Probably to reuse the graphics in all platforms. And, in fact they could have used double horizontal resolution and one more color. I don't understand this kind of "hurry" in making retro games, I'm pretty sure they don't have comercial deadlines :D. Or is it just laziness?

The 16bit versions seem to be 320x200. With just 5 grey scale colours they could have been a good source to convert to MODE 1.
That really looks interesting. I'll probably give it a go :-)
I fancied Speccy gfx btw.
