And the author points out: "Since this is a fairly big update, it's expected that it may fail in different hardware configurations or produce unexpected results. Known issues: may play the wrong animation while on stairs, or get stuck, specially if you use up/down. Prefer to use left/right and treat stairs as if they are a terrain slope (which they are, internal engine-wise)." (dr) [News message: 28.

It offers ten different game modes and 350 levels. The final version now released offers the following improvements over the AmiGameJam version: Enhanced visual and audio effects Full mouse support and ability to use multiple controls at once Refined music tracks by Simone 'JMD' Bernacchia Smoother graphics and sound Rebalanced gameplay across all modes Fully working Hardcode mode Versus mode with dual mouse support (one of the few Amiga titles to allow gameplay with two mice :)!) Full NTSC support Extensive code optimizations and tons of bug fixes You will need an Amiga with an AGA chipset and approximately 1.5 MB of free Chip RAM. A version for the CD32 is also available. Cost: just under seven euros. (dr) [News message: 28.

In a new preview video, he explains that the secure connection via AmiSSL now works, which took him a lot of time. He also describes what is not yet working – emails are not stored locally, and the ability to delete emails on the server still needs to be implemented – and which features he would like to add. He expects to release a pre-alpha version by the end of September. (dr) [News message: 28.
