Looks amazing!

Game looks awesome! It's a pity I don't own a master system.

The reason to get one for me is the convenience of HDMI to be honest. I have original C64s and a reloaded, but they are getting harder to connect and I've never found an upscaler that doesn't do more harm than good. I have a 1084, but the kids complain it makes a high pitch noise I cannot hear...

I think the price, as you say, is really good. I've been thinking about getting an Ultimate64 board for a long time and this seems to be a good way to get one. Plus I don't need to salvage a keyboard nor get a new case (although I already have a spare case from icomp).

I'm usually not a fan of transparent cases but this looks great!

Optimization is a lot of fun, especially late in a project when you can go all in. I'm too early in my project so I don't always know what to favor, speed or size.

Actually I made a typo. It's not 15 bytes but 4 bytes, haha.

It's stored in a global array but I only store data about blocks that can be destroyed making it possible to pack it very tight. For instance my current test level with 12 rooms only uses 15 bytes.

Haha, I did the same. Leveled everything to max until the game broke.

I agree as well. I often get the same feedback, add sprint please, but I never caved as I think some games are better enjoyed with a slower pace.

Haha, I take that as a compliment!

I remember that conversation! Kårpen Flyger we saw in school for some strange reason when we read about the Sagas of Icelanders, which made no sense, but it made a big impression.

Huge congrats! Instant purchase for me!

The BBC Narnia show when Aslan died. I was shocked and confused for a week.

I actually already have it solved! And yes, using the camera scroll for offset is the way to go.
