It’s been over a year since our last update on Bomb Jack DX, which is a Bomb Jack fan remake for the Commodore 64. We was beginning to think this project was abandoned, however today Retrofan (and crew) surprised us with a brand new update! The new Beta 6 shows us improved gameplay for 2 players and other lovely additions, including:
- Eye-candy colourful credits in the start screen
- GUI improvement: left/right arrows for 1/2 player toggle
- 2-player mode shows 2nd Jack in grey
- the level starts with action button for the new player in 2-player mode
- New fading colours for “bomb-o-meter”
- Optimized LA night background for more free RAM
- Optimized Germany background
- Optimized skyscraper background
- Some improved platform layouts
- Bugfix for long-lasting “half bomb bug”
- Round-number switches now to zero after game over
- Little flash animation for Sphere-Enemy
- Original mummy behaviour for heavier gameplay
