Acorn 2 for MSX2, version 0.4

An MSX2 game in development.

It will be a sequel and tribute to Taito's Sweet Acorn from 1984.

I hand-copied the sprites of the original, but as you might notice, I didn't feel like recreating the "crumbling" of the enemies when killed so I did something... else. :-)

This video was made using the blueMSX emulator:

P.S. Help with programming is welcome!

Any updates on this John? :) or are you seeding your demons too much? >:)

Well, we finally found a great programmer to help us with our games, so things will go a lot faster from now on.

First we'll finish "LEDA Micro" (almost done) and a puzzle game (not much work needed) which is kind of secret at the moment.

After this, Acorn 2 is scheduled! :-)
