Issues unresolved
Help section typographical error[2]
- The Help section of the game, specifically page 5, has a bad typographical error, it may be possible to fix it unofficially by editing the in-game resources, which no one has probably done yet
Issues resolved
Energy Storm is not dropping[3]
- Energy Storm, a certain power-up shown in the help section doesn't seem to appear anywhere within the game, while this may be the case, the power-up simply has a really low drop rate for some reason, it will start appearing in Sector 8, 8-5 specifically, here is a video showing what it does.

- While typographical issues can be ignored most of the time, this one shouldn't be an exception as the typographical error is showing profanity

- I've played and finished the game 2 times, and I've only witnessed this power-up years later by brute forcing the game.
