@TheLogicMaster
Super thanks!
BTW, I guess I found out nasty graphical bugs (glitches). Here're screenshots of these bugs (marked with white):

It's show accidentally, and mostly at the later levels (3-4 lvl), in random places. The main character, walls, enemies and/or obstacles sometimes getting invisible on the screen. After some moves and bomb placing, they are restoring, then disappearing again.

Maybe there's a way to fix them?

I put out a new release with a workaround that should fix the graphical issue. I haven't determined the actual cause, but it's probably a low level C/compiler behavior bug.

I have some other ports working, but they only have touch controls. Here's links to the original games:

Ooh I wonder if Pokemon Wilds can be ported with this

I just looked into the project and it seems to be closed source and uses libraries that aren't currently supported for networking, controller input, and likely more. This backend works on Java bytecode, so it doesn't need access to the source code, but it does make patching out unsupported functionality and adding support for Switch controller input more challenging. Definitely possible, though.

Glad it's possible! Hopefully it'll one day be open source, or at least have its creators be willing to assist in porting efforts. Pretty sure it's still in active development at the moment.
