Plays just as smoothly and responsively as the C64-version! For sure a delightful little game!

The squashed screen proportions makes it quite a bit harder. But even when I play it with exactly the same proportions as the C64-version (by changing Vice window size) it feels somewhat harder. I have managed 12 points on C64 and 10 on VIC.

Brutally hard! Only got 9 points this far. Lovely to hear snippets of Bubble Bobble on the Vic
Very nice looking title screen and game too.

10!

12! With unchanged proportions so perhaps my initial troubles were caused by playing the C64-version before.

Good game Eric. I managed to get 1 point. Ha ha ha

Great little game, colourful and fun. I also like the font and music choice - reminds me of early Atari 8 bit titles. Good job!

I managed to get a score of 9 on the Vic version and 7 on the C64.

One small thing, the Vic version suffers from being out of tune somewhat, perhaps if you have enough spare CPU cycles you might fix this?

Suddenly I got the hang of it. 21 points on the C64 and perhaps I heard the complete tune?

And then 19 on VIC. It becomes easier again after about 12 points or so.

Thanks everybody for the nice comments! I really appreciate
I just want you to have fun playing this little game.

@beamrider: Many thanks I didn't know there was a workaround to that "sound distortion" I will see this a bit later

Just tried this and it's brutally difficult but it just looks great and plays so smoothly. Very responsive also. Neat little game.

Haha, very nice. Good work!

My best is 12 after many minutes of trying. Gave my laptop to my son to have a go and within 10 goes got this score.... Don't you just hate it when that happens!

I will download this game and have my little gamer give it a try. Kids these days....

Been having fun playing this game really makes the VIC look and sound good.

Only thing that holds it back is that music distortion. So if that could be fixed this would be near perfect. Also if the tune could be bit longer, not that many people will hear it going by comments my best is 21.
