Thanks!

I had a sort play just now.
And may confirm that it became even better

When I played Gandalf for the first time, it was great multicolor but gameplay at the same time felt a bit unresponsive and clumsy. Now everything seems more smooth.

Who needs Mario if we have Gandalf?

Gandalf was already great when it first came out, and this revised edition is really welcome. Thanks a lot

Just played it and I must say it's an enjoyable game. Graphics, music and sounds are so arcade-ish!

Congrats for making this nice game and happy birthday, by the way!

Thanks alot!

By the way, there is some random screen flicks when logic takes too much time, did you use a fast ay music player to save a tStates or it's an regular one?

Yes ,flickering happens sometimes is inevitable.

The AY player is mFX

; mFX Player v0.1
; by Intense in 2017
;
; A sound effect player intended for simultaneous AY music+fx.
; Uses sound effects authored with Shiru's AyFxEdit.
; Uses a single redefinable AY channel for playback.
; If a new sound effect is added while another one is
; playing, the latter is interrupted and discarded.
;
; WARNING: This program expects the stack to contain
; AY register data. It should preferrably be used alongside
; the included mFX edition of the Vortex Tracker II player,
; or another AY music player that supports this mechanism.
; Do not call MFXPLAYM without a preceding call to the music
; player in case you want to play an effect on its own!
; Use the entry point MFXPLAYE for this instead.
