Just got mine today!


Turns out it was actually sent just a few days ago. There was a tracking number too, which was not included in the email I received - a pity and strange!


Can't wait to get back home...

I've just got my copy too :)

Some people have been posting on Twitter pics of the physical edition; wouldn't it be nice to have some here?

Thanks in advance :)

I received my parcel from polypaly this week. Great job.

Little bump as I just received Magica and Golden Tail, two very nice games! I've had trouble getting used to Golden Tail gameplay, I spent some time wondering how the magic button worked. Magica however is right up my alley with its Bubble Bobble-esque gameplay!

poly.play makes some great releases too, the boxes are very nice. Did you make the box art?

As default? I see, because you can't redefine :)

Yes, could do. In fact, I could make a special edition for the GX4000. I think the game would play better using fire 2 for jump instead of up.

What do you think? Would that work?
Quote from: andycadley on 18:26, 05 November 16
Definitely. Up to jump is always a bit annoying, if inevitable on systems with only one fire button, so a GX friendly version with jump moved to fire 2 and pause on P would be lovely.

the CPC is a two-button system though, it's just that the pin for FIRE2 is different than on SEGA and AMIGA systems. GX4000 controllers work natively on non-plus CPC, buttons are reported as Z and X in BASIC. (Maybe W and X on non-French keyboards?) There is no need for a ROM/GX version to have proper controls.

Fire 2 as JUMP instead of UP is much better indeed. I'm using a GX4000 controller and remapped the controls in-game (THANK YOU for allowing to bind controller directions! On so many games I have to plug the controller as JOYSTICK2 via a splitter cable to remap directions.) I have to say a patch to have 2 as JUMP natively would be a godsend for both games.

Nope, that was the amazing work of Ralph Niese.

I added support for the two buttons in The Return of Traxtor, but I totally forgot about the controller in these two games.

I must confess that I looked to make a native version for the GX4000, but I found it complicated and uninteresting so I gave up. Sorry :(

I'm glad you like the game (and don't give up with Golden Tail!).

Andy did an amazing job with this conversion (I hesitate to call it port!).

I'm very pleased, and he has my thumbs up and all my support!

EDIT: you can grab the game for free from his website here http://andynoble.co.uk/

Nice port / conversion indeed!!

And this is why I hope to see more musicians on IndieGameMusic.com offer their tracks in multiple filetype versions so the same music can be used on multiple platforms.  :)
Ideal for games that'll be ported to other platforms.

Arkos Tracker 2 can already import MODs, so that's a good start. Some day I'm gonna try adding AKS files to my list of supported formats. :-)

Looks really nice! As soon as I get the opportunity to get my A1200 set-up again I'll give it a go (I've had to sacrifice my den for the time-being!)
