Played for the first time via Vice, I died and the screen went black while music continued to play but it kept skipping. I'll try this on TheC64 and see if it does it there.
Hi,
We am sorry to hear you have problems with the game!
We have had reports of this happening when running the game in NTSC mode. The gameplay works fine, but when you die the music starts skipping for a while, and then the gameover screen appears but has garbage in parts of the score. The rest of the game works fine though, so you can still play, but we are looking into fixing this :)
