Thanks for the game. I tried to go to arkanixlabs.com forum but won't allow me to create a new account there. We found 2 issues:

1) I have a NTSC A1200 and when launching the game the graphics are corrupted. If I have Workbench in PAL and launch, it is also corrupted but then I was able to get normal graphics back by using Amiga-M a few times. Also noticed in some cases that when going back to workbench (Quit from game), things are stuck but if I use Amiga-M to switch screen I can get back to workbench as though there was some transparent screen in front.

2) When entering a code on the code screen, the numbers/characters can be typed such that you can enter forever and the text printed goes all the way to the the right and wraps back to left side and will draw on top of the next characters.

Thanks for the feedback. much appreciated.

I tested the game as much as I could, but only have access to real PAL Amiga's. I'll put a disclaimer on the game page warning about possible NTSC issues.

I know about the code entering issue as it did happen to me once or twice. However, it didn't happen enough for me to be able to track down why. The way to minimize it is to enter the code, leaving at least a second or two between key presses. I'll look into this further.

Thanks. I haven't been able to reproduce the entering code issue again either. If there is anything I can do to help with PAL vs. NTSC, please let me know.

The game definitely gets more challenging and even more fun in later levels.

Yes, the code entering 'bug' was so infrequent, I had trouble nailing it down! I'll look at the NTSC issue in an emulator and see if I can figure out what is happening. If I find a fix, I'll give you a shout to test - thanks for the offer of help!
