In the lead up to Demo 4, here's Soundwave Star Zone Act 1 which can be accessed via Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Button 1 running in 50Hz mode.

Decided to redo the art. I prefer drawing them like this (smaller, multiple drawings per sheet). What do you think?

I drew a piece of artwork for the project. I hope to do more of these. They'll be perfect for the instruction manual (as well as thumbnails for YouTube playthroughs).

Here's a look at another mini-game, one that's more akin to golf (or SNOLF, I suppose), except with an upside-down parasol.

Also, special thanks to Creative Araya for providing some more accurate translations to Brazilian Portuguese.

Some of the FM soundtrack in action. In addition, I've added a new punching move to CCZ's boss, Boom Dogg. I've also redone his sprites. His animation is still limited but I think he looks a bit better.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Demo 4.0 is finally public on Windows!
