This time we went all-out and improved the game as much as we could. Most of the code is either rewritten, bug fixed or improved in one way. Graphically and sound-wise the game is completely new, everything was redone and improved. Overall the game is around 4 times the size of the C64 original and is pretty close to the size of the Arcade.



List of major improvements:



- Two completely new levels added.Level 6 has an additional final room.

- Existing 4 levels are expanded to be twice the size of the original.

- All levels have completely new graphics and level designs applied.

- All levels have unique new tunes added which were newly composed.

- New Sound Effects added or changed.

- New sprite multiplexer coded, which will minimize glitches.

- Intro sequence added where Satan abducts the Princess.

- Game Map added, which shows your progress when you are killed or you reach incoming level.

- Game Complete animation added.

- Game Over sequence added.

- Two new Bosses added for levels 5 and 6. They are bigger than any existing enemies in the original game.

- Added a new Jumping Skeleton enemy in levels 5 and 6.

- Moving Clouds recoded so they can be used on level 5.

- Arthur now can turn around when he jumps and he can shoot backwards.

- Added an improved Title/Loading screen with new tune.

- Weapons are now improved and all of them now actually make sense.

- Enemies have improved AI - not perfect but much better than original.

- Levels 1-4 are done in 2 parts now, but transition between them is fully seamless.

- Flying Knights at level 2 can only be shot from behind as in Arcade.

- Zombies first dig out some dirt so you can spot them before they kill you.

- Collision detection is drastically improved - you won't get killed when a bullet flies over your head anymore.

- Dragon Boss covers more of the screen area now and you need to shoot
his head three times, and he won't shoot so many bullets anymore.

- House Ogres are easier to kill now.

- 'Sparkles' are now visible when you hit an enemy.

- Weapons that are dropped depend on the level you are playing, so you cannot get the shield in the beginning.

- Pause Game and Quit Game added, which can be activated by Run/Stop key.

- Arthur can jump over obstacles now even if he touches them. In the original he only jumped up.

- Time limit is now different for each level.
