Inside the cartridge
Scanline-interrupt parallax: three background bands read one seamless harbor map at different scroll speeds while the HUD rows stay pinned. Lightning and the dusk-to-storm sky are palette changes timed to vertical blank. Native pixel artwork and synthesized sound, running from a 32 KiB Color-only cartridge. High scores last for this power-on session.
