Key Notes

• Most of the graphics were adapted from the Game Boy / Game Gear versions of Puyo Puyo.
• There is some background noise (pop noise) during music playback.
• The overall polish of the game, including difficulty settings, is still lacking.
• The display looks much cleaner when using the Composite Idealized mode in AppleWin video settings.

Personal Reflections from the Developer...

• Unless the noise issue is resolved, it's best to avoid using SoftDAC. For sound, sticking with Mockingboard is the way to go...
• I implemented a double frame buffer (Page 1 & 2), but it feels like an unnecessary luxury for Double High-Resolution (DHGR) graphics.
• It's hard to write structured and organized code in Assembly... The code just kept getting messier as the project went on 😭
