Thanks for it. :)

Feel free to contact me via eab.abime.net. I can´t find your maill address.

Thanks for getting in touch via e-mail. You just got a response.

Nice - v.094

Version 0.92 already feels very good, hope you finish it. I also included it in my new "Gameplay of New Amiga Games from May 2024" video.

Hi ! Thanks so much for your efforts :) Didn't know this game, quite fun :)

v0.92 plays so much better now! :D

Very good - v.092

Unfortunately, there is currently a bug that completely destroys the enjoyment of the game. I don't want to do this to you and I'm working on the bug fix.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Fixed in v0.92 :)

This game looks super fun. Thanks for all these great ports. For some reason I don't see a download link on this page (May 12, 2024). Am I doing something wrong?

Same here, maybe download was removed due to planned bugfix?

Possibly. It looks like it is back now! (May 24th, 2024)

Impressive port. Made you some box art :) 

very good

Looking forward to this being finished. A few bugs: Large balloon appears too often, King always resets to the right when dropped and occasional Guru crashes. Sounds of swooping balloons also needs work. Not criticisms but just bug reports from a 100k+ player.

First of all, rhx for reporting. But the respawn rate of the large balloon corresponds to the original, namely after every 9 small ones. Putting the king back on the right side is also intentional.

The game is based on the American version of the game. Maybe this version is different from the Japanese one.

It might have just been luck with the 15k first round first play so I'll give you the big balloon frequency but on every version I've played the king keeps position on drop. Here's me on the US rom (kingball.zip) with a score of 110,970 as an example:

It's a shame I didn't notice it, but I'll fix it. Thanks again for reporting.

The bug fix will be included in the next release :)

Unfortunately, a line of code was inserted in the wrong position. This caused the king to always respawn in the same (wrong) position.

Thank you :D

Nice game!
