I recorded a couple minutes of gameplay in an emulator. I'm not sure why, but the recording stopped before I showed the Options menu which shows the Achievements and the Erase Data feature. At least you get to see a majority of the features and some of the Story and Vs modes.

Yeah, I really need to thank rizz for twisting my arm to do that. I wasn't going to, but he's real convincing.

I'm surprised that no one has cracked the cryptic message I posted yesterday... And if someone has, they have kept that little nugget to themselves.  

Oh well, I guess everyone will know soon enough...

2017 is the year.  

Time was not in the picture, but one could argue that the Rounds number could be pretty close.   And being in the center of the screen, that could maybe even be interpretted as the time zone. Really, it's a happy accident, but it's not all that far off from the truth.

So, someone has found 3 typos in the game! It just goes to show that you can read this stuff over and over, word by word, out loud for months and still miss stuff. Oh well. It will be fun to see if others can find it and report it. Who knows, if a second version is ever run (which I'm doubting), then I can fix them at that time. Not sure I want to reprogram the 60 carts I have left just to account for 3 silly typos. I also don't want "Variant" collectors to have nightmares that there are 2 versions of the game out there with 3 different tiles in the game. Until then, I'll just let everyone become typo hunters!

I went back to look at these errors and I know how they happened.
1. I think I just typed too fast or clicked the wrong tile as the word is spelled correctly in my script.
2. I blame notepad++'s spell check. It didn't catch the misspelling in the script. Still, should have caught it myself.
3. The last one was my goof when I had to adjust the words on the screen after fixing a different typo. It is the last word of the line and I think I cut the last letter off when I was readjusting lines.

To me, typos just show that these games are made by small time developers by small teams. Its hard to catch everything in a game this large without having dozens of people looking it over daily.

Thanks again to those who bought the game! I hope to can call me out on my errors. haha
