I have just tried both on the emulator and on a dev board and it works exactly the same in both ...
Only thing is that I needed to ensure all filenames were en capital letters to make it work.

Thanks for the feedback.

I will sort out capitalisation of the filenames tomorrow and release an updated binary

This is very cool! Nice work on this! I played on the web emu and on r46 emu locally (on a Mac) and it played great. Its very fast but this gives it a nice twitch gaming feel. Well done.

I didn't experience any real bugs but either the shooting sound or crash sound seems to linger in the background after it plays sometimes like maybe its not stopping? It manifests as either a low rumble (crash sound) or high pitched whine (shooting sound). Its pretty quiet though and honestly didn't really effect my fun!

Glad you enjoyed it.

I thought it might be a bit slow tbh. :)

I will have a look at the sound and see if a small fix is required.

Thanks for the helpful feedback
