Here you go ... Beta 6 and I love this update because it has all the score sprites showing properly! Check it out!
Also fixed the difficulty... the Bonus appears every 5000 points now instead of 1000 which allowed @DamienD to complete the game Also hi scores are now only saved when you quit the game which you can do by pressing Escape or Left mouse button at any time. Enjoy! http://109.228.4.199/bombjack_beta_6.adf http://109.228.4.199/bombjack_beta_6.exe |

Oh, forgot to mention another small bug.
Let's say you are on top of a platform and a metal bird is underneath. It doesn't seem to have to go around the platform edge and then up to get you... When it's about 1 - 1.5mm away it just magically appears on top of the platform. |

Here's a huge update to the game here, to the point that it is just about finished.
Changes/Additions are as follows:
Known issues:
The game will get a final release in the next week or two, I will not be coding anymore on the game after May 19 as I have some family and work commitments that will see me busy for at least till November. Enjoy the game - if you do spot a bug then let me know. The game has been tested on an A500 with 1mb of ram 512Kb Chip / 512 Fast. The game is known to work on other models including the AGA machines (in fact I know it does) but I can only say I have tested it on WinUAE and on my real A500. After May 19 I will release the source code and the guys here may be able to fix up compatibility if it crashes on the accelerator stuff. ADF here - http://109.228.4.199/bombjack_beta_7a.adf Enjoy.

I had not left any comments in this thread yet.
But since it's one of my favorite games of all time (I've been a country champion so many years ago ), I give you huge compliments for what you managed to do! |

I don't think the original arcade had music on the titles though did it but that was a tune for something like the highscore?
As there wasn't any on the title tune in the arcade would love the title screen in a later build to be the other title tune from the C64 to put more verients on the non gameplay areas music not being the same one. Plus the people love that C64 tune anyway. |

Cool I like Bombjack.
I can do try test it on different setups. But think I'm a bit rusty to the game. |
