1942 is a difficult game. Many a fine port has been ruined by testers complaining about difficulty...

Indeed, it would be sad that a fine port could be ruined by the difficulty. If it's the same as the coin-up arcade game i think it can be fine. as we said sometimes : wait and see |

Toaplan "Hellfire": could have been a good shooter, just too hard.

Just use the same enemy logic as the arcade please! Back in the days I completed it in the arcades but it took a lot of coins to master it. It's as if today gamers don't understand what early arcade games were all about: simple but challenging!

We’re not talking about random people but experienced testers. Collision detection has been loosened a bit, closer to how it works on the arcade. Some enemies moved too fast, and have been slowed down. |

Spent last month on Easter vacation and finetuning Zero patterns, firing algorithm etc.
Fixed second button code, so 2 button joystick and CD32 pad should work. On very fast machines there would be graphics glitches, which are now fixed. |

Still some work tbd on the music side.
Meanwhile… We decided to do a complete rework of green zero patterns to get closer to the arcade feel. That work is being done now. These delays are annoying we understand. There will be a chance to play something soon, while we complete the game. |

No stress agermose, know full well that making a faithful port is massively time consuming, even more than I anticipated!
Pretty sure this is going to be spot on when its done ![]() |

Should be okay provided the entire game isn't on the coverdisk, though you never know.
Id would be quite suprised if any action was taken over a demo snippet. Anyway, the game feels AWESOME! Really good job on this, smooth as butter and not too brutal in difficulty either. |

Btw the game fixes 2 “issues” that always bothered me on the arcade.
One of them is in the demo. Can anyone find it ![]() |

you should make your game downloadable from itch.io for free. And people can still donate 2, 5 or more euros/dollars.

Exactly... excuse my ignorance, but what's the point of a demo version that will be seen by only a handful of people that buy that magazine? Amiga community is not that huge anyway... and the game is (probably?) gonna be free in the end anyway... ?
