A cold breath of moist, putrid air escapes the staircase into the depths. This must be it. He must be down there. Hopefully.

This has been a valuable resource, thanks for the cartridge version!

I've been using this binary to test out the cartridge and how it interacts with the rest of the system in general. It's been helpful in finding a few oddities of the cartridge - but I did encounter something that I think may be due to the game. Possibly a bug.

It only happens in the cartridge version. After booting, and waiting for exactly one minute at the title screen there is an audible audio glitch. Then, exactly one minute after that (2 mins total), the title screen hangs playing a single note. This does not happen on the 'regular' version and I don't think its the cartridge hardware.

Mhm, yeah, looks like something is off with my decompression routines. Weird. I'll have to look into it.
