The Game
Collecting the bombs in order (a fuse is lit after you collect the first bomb) can provide huge end-of-level bonuses.
When the bonus meter is full, a power-ball will be released, turning all enemies temporarily into coins.
In 2 Player mode, if one player dies, the remaining player will have a chance of collecting a "heart" coin on the next level to bring them back to life.

Fantastic work - a really enjoyable version of this game.
Nice ! What is the license of your files ?
not sure what you mean. Please expand. Thanks.
I use recalbox as a retrogaming console/emulator
I know i can play pico8 files with it (emulator https://github.com/Jakz/retro8)
As it is an open-source system, games needs to be open-sources to be included.
So if you choose an open-source license , the game could be included in Recalbox.

Brilliant work, another great port!
Great port!
You are my hero! Thanks!
This is fantastic. The music and backgrounds are great, and I really like the easier controls. Holding jump to glide is just so much smoother.
I have one suggestion - releasing and pressing jump again during a jump should end the jump immediately (stop the upward movement) and start gliding. This is very useful for catching rows of bombs halfway up the screen. You already have Down working to end a jump, if you could just add X as an additional input to end the jump then this would make it play more like the arcade original controls.
Thanks for the really kind feedback. I’m away for the next few days but will look at updating the controls when I’m back. Glad you’re enjoying the game.
Great as always!
very good
Me encantan tus juegos,tienen mucho trabajo,gracias
