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.

– 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.
