Interceptor Demo update 2025-07-17A

A lot has happened in the two years since I released the last update which I won't go into in much detail. I am hoping to make more progress on it before year end now that I'm up and running again.

There was a bit of a delay on this release due to a combination of implementing new features that brought their own share of new bugs that presented themselves like a game of whack-a-mole and my computer breaking down and it taking longer than expected to get all my game development tools up and running again on the new PC.

Update 2025-07-17A:

• Game is now compiled on GBDK 4.3.0.
• ROM size has been increased to 128 kilobytes to make room for the new soundtrack composed by Beatscribe which has been fully integrated into the demo.
• Added Game Boy Printer support, allowing you to print your score card at the end of a run or when you quit from a game over screen by pressing Select.
• Removed Press Start prompt from title screen, now skips straight to main menu.
• Noise for bomb recharge indicator has been removed as it was lost in the noise of gameplay and failed to serve its purpose.
• Player now explodes when destroyed, complete with new defeat tune.

Known Bugs:

• Track 11 on the Sound Test Menu is not available.
