The visual work here is just stunning! It doesn't really look like a C64, it looks timeless. What I mean is that adding more pixels and colors wouldn't really improve it. And that is very hard to do when you are going for a fairly "realistic" style.
Amazing conversion. Graphics beyond anything I'd associate with the C64. Gameplay improves on the A2600 original. Must play for fans of A2600's Empire or C64's Mutant Camels.
Just downloaded. Do you guys have a KoFi link? I know you cant accept direct money for the game but want to contribute in some way for all the time and effort put in to it :)
No, definitely not too easy. As stated in the video description, I used savestates (and edited it afterwards in the video editing program). It's all about a YT playthrough video, plain and simple.
I think the difficulty is perfect. I recorded a longplay but I had to use three reloads to get through the whole game. It definitely punishes you for your mistakes, but also rewards you for doing some fancy flying.
Looks amazing. Been waiting ages to place this, but it will have to wait until the morning now for me, but again this looks fantastic. Loved it on my 2600 back in the early 80's and this just looks amazing.

This is great Re-rlease of this game. Kudos to you and hope you bring out more games like this.
Ship movement and flight speed should be slower, I think that detail would improve gameplay a lot...
So glad to have been the first website to give this a "release" feature. Such an incredible game, nice work to all involved
Congrats! Awesome work!
Thanks so much to everyone who worked on this, it's a great game, I'm having an absolute blast playing it
Brilliant conversion, thank you so much

Epic level work here. Chefs kiss marks of excellence. Love it.

Thank you!!!! is amazing!
Awesome! Ever since I played the preview, I've been looking forward to making a longplay from it. And may the force be with you!
That's some impressive flying there, pilot! Maybe we made the game too easy! :D

Phew! Good to know! It's hard to judge the difficulty level on these small projects, so glad to hear you're happy!

Thanks, that's great to hear!
