Another chiptune added, now there are five in the game so far.

Spring mechanics have been improved for reliability. The spring bounce cancel mechanic triggered by tapping the jump button is still in there but should not be triggered by accident anymore, resulting in unpredictable spring bounces. (It's completely optional to use, you can beat the game without it, but it enables some fancy plays.)

Also, we have a working Famicom prototype cartridge! Needed just a few tweaks and our first batch worked perfectly (SRAM had a the wrong pinout for the PCB and needed to be flipped).

Amazing to see your own game running from the actual cartridge!

This trailer aims to tell the truth about what it's like to play it. It's not for everyone, but I believe that those who hang in there will find it rewarding.
