Version 1.4 - Floppy disk fix!


This new version fixes the floppy disk access bug that was in the prior versions, including the version sold in the physical box.

If you have bought the physical box version of the game, then please download this version if you want to be able to play the game from floppy disk, for the real retro experience.

We are really sorry we released a version of the game that was not tested on a real floppy disk. We did not think that would be an issue, and so we never asked our testers with real Mega65 machines to copy the game to a floppy and try loading from there. We do not have a Mega65, so we could not test floppy disk loading ourselves.

We were however allowed to borrow a Mega65 from a very kind retro-friend, which has helped a lot!


The loading code was fixed by Paul Gardner and kickasm-converted by Simon "Shallan50". Thank you both! 💓

We had to do some adjustments to our code to make the loading experience a little better, so the game now loads our Badger Punch Logo screen first, and then loads the rest of the files.

Because we feel so bad about release the game without proper floppy disk support we are now making the game free, with a pay-what-you-want option.

We hope you like the new floppy-compatible version!
