Just a question for my game review article. I play steam version, have any checkpoint, saveing point? Or one game - one life? :D I die after 2. boss +3 map, or im just curious, how much stage left.
No savestate or checkpoint, as usual in c64 Platform (or arcade) games :D. There are 8 stages+boss each map, 5 maps, but last map is a bit different more stages and the castle is a labirint (you need to find the right path to reach the final boss). Try harder, is not so complicated complete it ;) if you want to complete it before the review release i can tell you in pvt message a secret cheat.
No-no, i dont need cheat :D I love try-try-and-die :D Only i just ask (i dont want wrong info to the article :)). Thankx!

Thank you Cartwright, really happy about this! I shared your post on Google plus and twitter!
Thanks! :)
Wish I could play it, it looks SUPER cool and fun!!!
Any chance of a Steam release?
Yes, at the moment i'm in contact with Mastema Out of hell's publisher, waiting for a contract. Probably will be released on steam also in next months. :)
that's great to hear, I own Mastema on Steam, it's a fun game and I really dig the graphics..Hope to see it on there soon :-)
I'd like to play it but I have Ubuntu, does it work with Wine? Or are you planning to develop a Linux version perhaps?
Sadly no Linux version available, but some people used Windows emulators to run it under Mac, you can try and buy it, if it does'nt work i'll do a total refund of course.
Oscar
Thank you so much!
I bought the game just a moment ago and it works flawless with Wine under Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit), just to say :)
