Dodgin' Diamond 2 is an arcade-style shoot-'em-up game.
This arcade game boasts several exciting features to keep players engaged, such as music and sound effects, a companion bot, shield cells, and two stages that lead to the final boss. Moreover, full joystick support, including two joysticks, enhances the gaming experience, making it more immersive and enjoyable.
To play Dodgin' Diamond 2, users need to have SDL 1.2.x and SDL_Mixer installed on their devices. In the latest release, joystick support is now available for hiscore, allowing up and down for changing letters or next character, and buttons two and one for deleting and finishing, respectively.
Furthermore, Dodgin' Diamond 2 now has an updated credits screen, which was previously in the TODO list, and windowed mode is now the default setting, thanks to the feedback of Ben Anderman. While playing with joysticks, the second button serves as a pause, and the menu is now available with the first joystick, allowing users to accept or exit with the first and second buttons, respectively.
Finally, the hiscore is shown only as needed, and there are fixes to the hall of fame, thanks to Richard Andersson's feedback. Overall, Dodgin' Diamond 2 is an excellent arcade game for players who love old-school games with exciting features and immersive gameplay that keeps them engaged.
