[Who is the target audience?
It's target on russian speccy scene and mostly for zx evolution users. I think we have at least 2000 units of for zx evo but there is no official sales stats. Also our speccy scene slightly different and focused on demos, TR DOS, real 5'25 floppys and Pentagon timings. I have Zx Evo too and it's a great machine with proper scandoubler.

Who is the target audience?
Yes, it's mostly for people who own real clones compatible with Pentagon.
It's Tr-Dos based and even if you transfered it to tape and replaced all disk reading routines with
tape reading routines it would still need Pentagon timings to properly display multicolour pictures
Such viewers appeared before, for example this one

but this seems certainly most modern and advanced.

It almost looks too detailed ... but it does look good.

It is very nicely drawn and detailed as you say but for me it's too much monochrome. The original is more colourful
and maybe simpler but somehow nicer, at least for me.
I played it briefly but didn't know what I should do.
Are you supposed to open all doors and collect all stuff in one location and then move to another one through door? Or should you
work at many locations at the same time?
And how can you fight with enemies? What fire button does?

Have you never played an origional version, Rafal?
You must open all doors in every screen and take all treasures (125 pieces total).
You can't fight with enemies, you can use FIRE button if you go from one screen to another via system of doors.
And I must say this version is much more playable than original title. Especially if you can stand on ladders safely, if some pirate is approaching.

Yes, it's a cool and advanced demo. Some graphics are inspired by the game Extreme.

Yes - cool demo. I like the jiggery-pokery (or should get be jiggery-PUSHery?), but the graphics are most impressive.

I couldn't even really see the attributes scrolling either though, really smooth. Having said that, I might be one of those people with low fps eyesight.

I thought the same thing, but your eyes are fine - that's a multicolour scroll, so it IS that smooth.
