About this port

v0.1.0-alpha.1 is an experimental prerelease, not a complete or fully faithful port. Original timing is not integrated into the production scheduler; complete image/audio/behavior comparisons and human campaign acceptance are outstanding. Physical controllers, device-removal behavior and a second Windows installation are unverified. Session-only high scores; no saves/resume, remapping, fullscreen, volume menu or persistent settings. MIT covers contributors' own rights, not original game material.
