This is an arcade platformer for DOS.

Development:
- GNU Make
- DJGPP C (using GCC 12.1.0; other may work)
- libmikmod
- DOSBOX
- tools: Python 3 and PIL (or Pillow) library
For DJGPP I recommend cross-compilation using build-djgpp.
Set LIBMIKMOD_BASE env variable to your libmikmod sources with the DOS library compiled and ready to use.
You can build the game with make and run it in DOSBOX with make run.
