Hi François! As you know, I love this pack and your music. I’m using it in my game Die for the Economy! and I think I’m using almost all of the tracks (I’ll have to go back and check) .. my game is dystopian but also arcadey so the whimsical tracks suit it as well as the more serious ones and I think it’s the more mellow tracks that I ended up not using just because of the pace of gameplay.

I’m so grateful for this pack - the sound quality is excellent, the mixing is professional and everything about the music screams quality - there’s some really nice, complex music in this pack and a good range to suit a lot of different types of games.

Thank you again for sharing it here and allowing me to use the tracks in my game. You’re amazing and I’m now a fan of your work.

Grazie per aver giocato e grazie per aver realizzato un video eccellente! Questo mi rende davvero felice 👍

Great game! Looking forward to finding out what's *really* going on at C. Tech. Thanks for making it!

Thanks for the reply. I'll send you an email :)

Hi! I can't get this to run on Windows 11. It crashes as soon as I try to open it - an initial window opens, with nothing in it, then it just closes.

Is there any chance you will be supporting Windows 11 for this game? 

Thanks! Jeff.

Thanks for playing it! I really loved Bomb Jack on the Speccy, but always found it a little bit too difficult for me. I wanted to make something a little less difficult (or at least have the choice to play it in an easier mode!), and still trying to capture the vibe of the original in the controls.  Also, you don't see many other games like Bomb Jack so I think it was past time it got some love :)

Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it. It's not perfect, but there's definitely some fun in there I think! :) Sadly, Mudfire is long lost but I do like the idea of including an older version of Headlong. I'll have a look on my backups and see what I can find.

I don't speak Spanish (sorry) but here is a Google translate, just incase:

No hablo español (¡lo siento!) pero aquí hay un traductor de Google.

¡Gracias por el comentario! Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado. ¡No es perfecto, pero creo que definitivamente hay diversión ahí! :) Lamentablemente, Mudfire se perdió hace mucho tiempo, pero me gusta la idea de incluir una versión anterior de Headlong. Echaré un vistazo a mis copias de seguridad y veré qué puedo encontrar.

Thank you for posting these amazing words! Really appreciated. I do love the idea of an Amiga port some day, but I've never programmed the Amiga outside of AMOS. Hmm.. wonder if I could make this game in AMOS?? Anyway, thanks again. You rock!

These are really really good! Thank you so much for making and sharing them.

This looks lovely! Really nice looking game, can't wait to see more!

Heyyy that's AWESOME! Thanks for playing and for including it in your video! :D

Thanks for making the video! Glad you enjoy the game!

Thank you thank you thank you for giving it a go, and for your kind words! I’m speechless and very happy to hear you had fun with it and I can’t wait for you to play the full game when it launches next Wednesday (the 18th)! Cheers!

You got there eventually, that’s all that really matters! 🤣👍 

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, if I could preview random colours in GEON (a checkbox would be perfect) that'd be useful to me. I like a lot of funky multicoloured particles! Cheers!

Absolutely LOVE this program. I think it's amazing for setting up GM particles and I'd probably have gone mad without it. My biggest wishlist item would be a way to do random colours (right now, to achieve this I'm spawning particles individually in Step, using a random colour, and every time I need to do this I forget how to and have to look it up so if Geon could export code for that too (even commented out) it'd be super handy for me lol). Having a way to preview random colours would be a help, if at all possible.

Anyway though, I love it and I'm really glad I have it. It's a MUST HAVE for anyone using GameMaker. Thanks for making it!

Smeggin' BRILLIANT game!!!!!! Just smashed my high score .. 10900 

I'll be giving it another good go over the weekend - I *will* get past level 2! (or, at the very least past the first bog!!!!)

Was it also the *meanest* game competition, too!?? lol that's well 'ard! Them death thingies on level 2 are brutal. Kept me quiet for a bit, mind, so thanks for that :)  .. highest was 144 and I couldn't get past level 2. Yeah, I guess I'm no hardcore gamer, eh? I do love your graphics. Very Matthew Smith! Cheers!

Great fun. The dragons are awesome, it's got really cool graphics and sounds and the controls are spot on too. Great design with the whole rescuing and getting powerups etc - really nice game!

This is like music to my ears (or, eyes, since I'm reading it!!) .. anyway, thank you so much for that post! That's amazing - really puts a smile on my face - and I'm really looking forward to your video. Hope you enjoy the new course!

Sorry, but I'm afraid I don't have any choice in that. I'm just a dude with an account on this site. The site takes care of payment providers. Perhaps let itch support know your feelings about it? 

Great stuff! Glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for playing, CoffeeCupArcade! You're awesome!

Heyyy thank you so much for writing that, Zilog! Made my day :) I'm super happy you enjoyed it!

Thanks so much for playing my game and for your kind comments. You rock!

Thanks, Sloany! Really glad you enjoyed it. I'm glad I included the difficulty levels now :)

Cheers for playing my game! Level 11 is really good going - it's a super tough game! I enjoyed watching your video thanks! :)

It seems like it, yeah, but the difference is very small. Everything else on the stream looked exactly like I was seeing it in the emulator, but I think the real hardware may take a slightly longer time between loading screens that caused my 'look ahead to where the ball is going to be next' collision code to wig out. Anyway, it's fixed now so no longer an issue but def something I'll be watching out for in future games I make! :)

Cheers, Mr. Hitch!

I couldn't have fixed it without you and it was great to be able to see you running the fixed version on your stream afterward, too. Thanks for a great stream and for your amazing support of my stuff. I really appreciate what you do.

The new version is up on here and I've also tweaked the positioning so the ball should never appear in a wall again!

Thanks, Sloany! I think the chomping animation and chomp chomp noises are some of my best work ever :)

Ahhh I looked at your stream  schedule and it's like 4am here when you stream.. that might explain why I never get notified!

Awww maaan I wish I'd seen that! I'm sure I enabled notifications but I'm gonna have to check it cos it never tells me when anyone streams anymore :( I really hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for what you do- I really appreciate it man.

BRILLIANT GAME!!!! And that music.. just incredible. I had a total blast playing it and it brought back some fantastic memories. Thanks for making it!

Oh my gosh that was fast! Thanks so much for playing it and for making an awesome video :)

That's good. Thanks for the reply.  

15 levels is the total yeah. I went with the Speccy Bomb Jack model of looping around purely to follow that model really. I think the Speccy version of Bomb Jack looped but I can't recall how many levels it had. The playtime for each level in Bomb Jack was longer so I figured 15 was a good number for the faster play.

Oh no! You're too good at the game! You're not supposed to go all the way to level 46! XD .. to be fair, there's a good reason it says 'too easy' on the difficulty select menu ;) .. all difficulty modes are *supposed* to get tougher over time but I can see that in too easy mode perhaps it just doesn't get tough enough! Thanks so much for playing, though. How is regular difficulty for you?

Thank you LOTS for playing my game! Great video 👍🏻

\o/  yay! Thanks for giving it a go, joltcountry! Pretty honoured you chose Chopper Defence to be honest. Hope you find lots more Speccy games out there to enjoy!  :)
