So glad! I've probably spent more hours inspecting details of the original arcade than actual programming time. I've discovered tiny details I've never noticed in decades even small quirks and imperfections like: if you watch a gameplay video in slow-mo (or frame by frame) you'll notice the sprite animation of barrels rolls in the wrong direction in the original 😯
Due to Pico-8 limitations the game uses 60fps flicker for a variety of effects (eg. semi-trasparency, font antialias, colour blending to have colours like cyan/teal not in pico8 palette), but in the web version the browser and/or busy pc could skip several frames making it noticeable/annoying.
In that case you can turn the flicker OFF in the menu pressing Enter (you'll immediately see the blending effects disappear -the ladders will turn blue-, crispy font etc..).

This is game is pure chewing satistfaction! Spent enough on the original in the arcade as kid! Thanks for the nostalgia!

P.S: The letters font are epileptic.

Thanks for playing!
Ah ok, I just forgot. Thanks.
Great part from the music & SFX sounds very faithful from the original Donkey Kong arcade.
