 Kingsoft releases on other platforms

I just recently saw a pretty good gfx adventure from Kingsoft released on C64 and CPC.
And English ( happy )
Even Lemon64 had no record on this game.
Though graphically it is not at the level of Level9 games ( :-) ), it looks cool, and has a nice sci-fi theme. aaaand in English, if you missed the previous message.

At first sight i think a conversion is doable, but it needs further investigation.

OK, thanks for the download link.

Maybe I was wrong... Maybe it is not HIRES, but compressed into charset like the Botticelli tool?
The "pictures" are not recognisable as HIRES or as MC. Or maybe I am wrong happy

The pictures on the D64 has different sizes, and with a viewer they does not look like as a picture.
(I tried most known HIRES and MC C64 formats)
So maybe they are compressed (LZW?), or maybe base on special multicolor character set.
