This looks like an incredibly well presented and polished game, hopefully it'll play as such.

Brilliant. It looks great, and I'm impressed that Kevin's been plugging away at this for so long. I occasionally check his twitter feed and I've seen loads of development updates, and some total rebuilds.

If anyone spots when the launch night is on twitch could they shout out?

Amazing... the use of shadows for the background and the monsters is inspiring... :o

Will the game be available as a digital download as well?

I saw the bitmap email just before this. Bloody well done. I'm impressed you managed to sustain motivation to work on one project for so long. Looking forward to this.

Trying to figure that part out, the game was initially going to be a free digital download until Bitmapsoft contacted me asking if I fancied selling it. Would be good to send a link to a digital download with every purchase at least, but at the moment there isn't one.

Cheers, been a bit of a struggle at times, lost count of how many rebuilds I had to do, then all the hassle at the last hurdle...I'm lookig forward to reading reviews and I'm already working on the sequel, which will be even better.

Honestly, I don't think the availability of a free download is going to have much impact on tapes being sold. Some people just want real tape versions, even if they've already played the game. I thought it would be a nice touch to have a slightly remixed version of my game for its tape release, but it doesn't look like anyone's actually noticed!

What's the crack with this? I received an 'order processed' email on the 19th November, and an 'order complete' on the 19th December, but I haven't received anything yet. I emailed Bitmapsoft and haven't heard back yet (it was only on Saturday).

I must confirm that communication with Bitmap Soft is really bad. I sent several emails and never got any answer. But tapes always arrived.

Just tried with my very old twitter account, but it said they can't be messaged. Or maybe I need to be following them.

Going by Andre's review:
Who do you want, you can here get the physical version, in return, plus the tape has also entitled to the digital version of the game.
So we should have received a TAP file at least by now, and it would be nice to have some idea when we'll get the cassette we spent ten spond on.

Yip, you’ll need to be following each other to DM.

Received! It looks ace.

I sent it to my workplace and it got buried in the internal mail over the xmas shutdown. I also learned that you can download it from their website if you've bought a copy.

Bitmapsoft replied to my email and were very helpful, even offering to send another cassette out if I didn't find it.
