Remember when we gave you the first hand heads up over an overhauled work in progress announcement of Bomb Jack for the C64? Well today we've just been given a rather nice looking update to Retrofan's ' Bomb Jack DX '; which has received more than just a few improvements. Originally an arcade platformer released in 1984, with many different ports such as the Amstrad and C64, Bomb Jack DX looks to be a vast improvement over the original, with not just better graphical detail, but smoother gameplay and optimized character sprites. To coincide with this news, the developer has also released a new gameplay video!
Updates :
- Revised logo
- New font
- Now 3 of 5 backgrounds (with working bombs)
- Bomb’s fuses light up (in correct order)
- Working round counter
- START!-animation at the beginning of each round
- Dancing Jack at the end of each solved round
- Jack’s able to die
- New moves for Jack (slower fall, forced jump, horizontal glide …)
- Optimized Jack sprites
- Updated enemy sprites
- Special chars for platform corners and pillar connections
- New colors for platforms and pillars
- “Swastika” Rounds (#16...) changed to “F64” (= Forum64.de)
