An msx2 game that is pratically an msx1 game. MSX2 can do far more than this.
the author could have achieved better consideration by doing this for a plain msx1
Horrible pattern based gfx with the beautiful limitations of screen 4.

I love screen 4 Smile. The palette support and the extra spites add a lot of value compared to MSX1, and it’s very quick to update so gives quite different gameplay than screen 5 would. SMW and Deva are using screen 4 as well btw.

This game looks awesome.

Only thing I would wish for is smooth scroll. I get that it would impose a strict 16 ms timing budget (as frame drops are much more noticeable in a smooth scroll), so I would understand that it’s something the developer chooses to avoid so that development can stay unconstrained by that. However the player already moves smoothly when moving away from the screen edges, so in that sense I think the constraint is already there.

Looks really cool I think :).

Also I asked the developer whether he intends to add smooth scroll, and he said that it was something he wanted to do in the future, but needs to secure some free VRAM for double buffering first.
