Visually I think the game is just about there now – as you can see from a comparison to the original. Hopefully it’s looking like a nice mid-80s arcade machine game or something.

Over the last couple of days I’ve added in scoring and the combo and bonus metres both work now. Bonus points aren’t added at the end of the level yet because I haven’t finalised how it will work although I have a few ideas bouncing around.

As you can see I have forgone the original game’s instant death. Although we still have just one life there is an energy/health display and colliding with the chasers won’t be instantly fatal. A tiny amount of life will be restored after each level but you will have to hold on to as much of it as you can. I hope this will make the game a bit more accessible.

I’m not finally adding in some sound effects and working on the title screen. Hopefully the game is on course for a release this month now, if I keep my head together this time.
