additional information
info 0.36b13 [?]

0.36b4 [Nicola Salmoria]

Bugs:
  • When the final boss dies, he looks like a pink brain with a face. If you watch closely, you'll see that this sprite slightly glitched; there's a thin black line crossing its face. blswhstl36b16gre Frotz
  • Minor input bug. Pressing a key mapped to either button will fire both cannon and bombs (i.e. pressing ctrl or Joy1 Button 1 alone will fire both, and alt or joy2 button 2 likewise) despite both buttons being mapped to completely different keys or buttons on the input menu. It only seems to happen on blswhstl, not on detatwin. Updated by Canim: This seems not to be a bug. Just get into the IO check and you will see Button1 and Button2 are recognized seperatly. Ingame it seems that blswhstl should be just easier to play on the US market then detatwin on the japanese one. Even if you leave it as a bug it's just a possible one. blswhstl056gra Jpikachu / Canim
