For me, the coolest thing about these games is that they show that the Amstrad CPC could do fast action... I mean, if you play some speccy port, you could get the impression that the CPC was slow as hell.

Ah, a bug. I thought it was intentional to make a true black to blue gradient. It looks pretty cool on my Trinitron.

Having a dislike of Mode 0 and its garish colors, I liked both this choice of mode 1 and the melancholic color palette. 
I'd like to see more of this style in future. 

For years we've ben exposed to flamboyant, unplayable, low resolution mode 1 games (with no music) as a pseudo-remedy to terrible speccy ports (which stand on the other end of the spectrum*). I feel both extremes were terrible.

*yeah, spectrum

My Ulifac behaves weird after power-on. I need to press reset as well to make the computer work. If I just power it on I see all until

Code Select Expand

and Locomotive Software Ltd.
I can't do anything as there is no ready and cursor.
If I press reset on the ULIFAC I also get:

Code Select Expand

ULIfAC Enhanced (3b) + 512Kb Ram
BASIC 1.0
Ready
I would rather have the ULIfAC boot into the CPC 6128 mode directly without the need to reset. How to do that?

Another question:
As the ULIfAC seems to be able to mimic a CPC6128, it must also carry its ROM. Is there a way to mod this ROM to alter the colours. I like border and ink0 to be 0 (black) and ink1 to be 26 (white).

It's a bug due to wrong CRTC timings. It had been discussed here :

WyzTracker button for music creation could be added

Thanks for the WyzTracker, I had forgotten

By the way, I think I read that you are involved in another project

But you don't know if the game uses that option with intention?

I accidentally quoted myself, so I will use this message to write something else. Let's see, hmmm....

Okay, so the animations are cool, the game seems fast an responsive... it seems fun.
