Gameplay


Keyboard Bugs
The game has a couple of bugs, both in the management of the softsprites and for the choice to entrust the keyboard commands exclusively to the disturbing interactions of the keyboard on the joystick commands using them as a feature. These bugs are extremely evident in the Competition mode of the game, i.e. during the game with two human players. Precisely in this last case, you can see some incorrect interactions between sprites that draw the characters on the screen in the wrong way, by pressing some undocumented keys like i.e. F. Strictly talking about the controls, the simultaneous use of the keyboard and joystick manages badly and causes confusion between the assignment of the movements to the respective player's character.
