I still hope to see a finished version of this release sometime soon, considering that 'prv 2' almost can celebrate it's 1 year birthday :D I know that a serious sound-bug was fixed recently, so at least a little progress is happening :)

Maybe if centering is a technical problem, just make a thick black border on the right, so that the blue has the same width left and right of the playfield - I guess then it would be less disturbing.

Your suggestions are very appreciated.
Original game has a width of 224px, I could center playground but I need a supplemental soft-border for left side (I'm using 1 sprite at soft-border to right side, now).
Not practicable now, there is situations where game require 8 sprites in a row (1 is sacrified now), it could be a test for future.
Full width screen could be interesting, my current plan is create a near-arcade conversion of the game.
As some user notices, some working on score system is needed.

well done job Hokuto Force ! the prv looks lovely and wait for the final version which of course will be cool and bring out a lot memories from this classic

Thanks, Karmic. Some things I noticed: the level indicator (bottom right) doesn't update anymore after 9 levels; the score wraps around at 100,000 points; sometimes when a river sprite disappears its image/colors seems to change briefly;

You could consider adding the option of turning the music off.

after taking a deeper look: +2 for full width. Yes, I know it is "arcade", but anyway!

One more thing. Maybe you want to add a trainer to the preview version, such that one can easily test the higher levels as well (I suck at this game).

I played this with Mame a while a go and this is a very good conversion. One small remark: the sound when Kermit reaches home sounds a bit nicer (IMHO) in Mame (more "pronounced"). IIRC of course.

Very nice. Feels just like the arcade. Awesome sound, graphics and gameplay. If only the screen was centered instead on the left side... is there a technical reason for it ?
