Very nice and very cute too! :)

We need as much new development as possible. I hope you keep working on it.

Bosco,
Nice work! I really like how you've implemented the keyboard routine. I don't feel comfortable with most of Dragon 32 games because of that.

Thanks kan.

I purposely wanted to keep the controls simple and comfortable so that even my young daughter could play, (the game will also support joystick input).

Coming back to James and Tony's earlier comments. One of the reasons I thought I'd share this project, (before it was finished), was recognising how much motivation I gained from looking at other people's projects. There's a kind of inspirational feedback loop. :)

Great design! Great music! Very difficult! It's going to be a must-have on the platform.
Brilliant work!

Great job Bosco!
Again, very nice graphics and good color combinations!
This will definitely become a #1 hit like it's older brother, Flagon Bird!

I'll test it on a real Dragon soon and report.

Thanks for all the positive feedback!

The game design is still evolving, as you'll see over coming builds. :D

Thanks Pere.

The learning curve has been a little steeper than on Flagon Bird so progress has been slow at times. That and a lack of spare time to spend on it.

I'm determined to finish it though, if only to work on some other game ideas I have in mind. :D

It gives a bit of Christmas feeling to unwrap Bosco's prerelease :) And this looks and sounds fantastic! As someone mentioned, the keyboard control is particularly responsive. Those of you who only tried it on an emulator have to try the real thing! The sound is fat and catchy. Dang, now I have this Pokemon tune on my mind. And the great gamer I always was, I end up in the water pretty quickly every time... Looking forward to the next version!
