0.37b6 [Nicola Salmoria]

< Japan >

Bugs:

Clone kurikina: This one is for sure a prototype, check these things compared with other sets: * DIPSWs invincibility and slow motion (known issue) * The green carpet in level 2 isn't animated, and doesn't do anything. * No water in level 2/3, only brown garbage instead ,also doesn't do anything too (It should hurt in level 2 and slowdown movements in level 3). * Difficulty very unoptimized : I've encountered FOUR black ninjas in level 3 without doing leeching, and the enemy rate it's excessive for a game that you have to stay still for long periods... * No end credits. Pretty strange that a manufacturer like Taito sells a game that doesn't give any credit at the end (the other sets obviously gives it). * And some other minor things (graphic glitches vs. bosses, bad-oriented continue screen, etc). kurikina055ora Kale
