wow as much as i have fondness for the original port (and it's lil colourful spaceship) that does look impressively smooth and large screen for the cpc.

Quite impressive!

Good!

Some background emboss effects are missing, what makes the remake is a bit flat compared to the arcade or CPC version.

Hi! thanks for your comment, could you kindly give me more detail about those effects missing?

Sure. See the annotated picture with arrows to point some areas where the arcade versions looks embossed (dark/light edges) but flat like on a same level on the current CPC remake work.
(about the spaceship shadow, I can understand that is not possible, but I have pointed it too by mistake. :p)

Thanks a lot! I'll work on those specific tiles. About the spaceship shadow, I did some performance tests and maybe I'll include it in the final product, depending on the final performance results.

Hi again,

I redesigned those areas to look more embossed. It's the best I can do because unfortunately I'm not a pixel artist.

Regarding that, I'm open to colaboration with artists, so I make a call for artists who want to collaborate in the project.

Regards,
Abalore

Yes, it is better.

I will do some test if I found the tiles.

I will be proud to help. Here, two mock-ups...

(the emboss effect can be improved if tiles are redraw... Here, just some work over your picture)

Wow, this all looks impressive. There are quite a few games in the works at the moment for the Amstrad CPC that show what it can achieve!

Just a small video of the game running from a cartridge.

The cartridge provides:

- Extra RAM to make the game compatible with 64KB machines
- 3 extra AY audio channels
- Autoboot
- Instant load
- Continuous levels

The cartridge has been designed and built by TotO
