Enjoy the ultimate shopping experience — take all you can carry away with you. Except for the one slight hitch that befalls all such ventures you can certainly keep what you can take. It's just that you have to avoid being crushed by the lifts as you wander from floor to floor. Unfair, you say — not so, say the management who in their magnanimity allow you the freedom of the store. They say the rewards are there for those who deserve them and as they give away so much of their stock to you they might as well have a little fun while you have yours.

Something very wonky about this under emulation - your player constantly drifts upwards, even through platforms, and it's almost impossible to collect objects. Same in both Gambatte and mGBA.
Thank you very much for your comment and for pointing it out, it is much appreciated. I fixed the bug, unfortunately I didn't test it on emulator and that caused the inconvenience. I replaced the files, it should be fine now! Thanks and thanks!
Unfortunately this one seems to be the same :(
Thank you. I don't understand how it happened, maybe I chose the wrong file when uploading, fixed!!! :)
Well, the good news is that now the drifting has stopped :D
The bad news is that you can no longer pick up the objects, or move up AT ALL. When you get to the edge of the screen the character just stands there rather than going up to the next level :(
Hats off to you for writing to me so enthusiastically. I swear, I don't know why I messed it up so many times, but believe me, I tested it. :) Well, whatever. Now a new version is out again, maybe it works, although I tested it with BGB as an emulator.
