Behind the scenes of Potan’s portrait! As the most eccentric character, she takes up the widest portrait on screen, maxing out available graphic space.✨
ポタン様のバストアップ制作舞台裏。もっとも派手な彼女は、画面上でも最大幅のポートレートを誇ります！FCの限られたスプライト領域を、まさに限界まで使い切ったキャラ。✨

Scoring system update:
Eclipse Mode starts with a 99s timer.
Clear a screen ⇒ your current time becomes your score, and the run continues with the remaining time.
Items are +500 pts, one per screen.
And “Girigiri” lets you stop the timer for a moment by grazing hazards. #nesdev #ファミコン

And now a fix for my latest game! I missed the knockback sound effect (actually all dcpm sfx, and am going to go back and see if CV2 uses any more). I've rectified the situation and updated both archive.org and mega.nz locations with the latest file. Music disabled in this clip to demonstrate.

A big change I'm working on is allowing BOSSES to be shot with the PEARL POWER. I think it's the right thing to do, since it make the power-up feel more meaningful.
But each of the 8 unique bosses need to be re-coded a bit to support this. Should be worth it I hope!
