Version 1.000.000

Mode/Progress/Completionist/Ex
-Played in English
-Firework Thrower Kantaro beaten in single player
-Ripple Island beaten with Happy Ending and True Ending
-The Wing Of Madoola beaten
-All trophies unlocked
-Each game has its own three save states. Rewind works as intended for both games.

Minor bugs:
Firework Thrower Kantaro:
- Enemies are effected by "sprite clipping", a common effect of emulators with the edges of sprites partially disappearing/being clipped off at the screen edges.

The Wing Of Madoola:
- Suffers from "loading seam" in certain stages. This is the effect when the edge of the sprites of the stage get messy/wrong colors as the game scrolls (good video that explains this effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfrNnwJrujw )
- The enemy "Nyuru" can't hurt you when you duck normally. However, if you rewind while ducking under a hit you will take a hit after the rewind stops, if its still above you while ducking. Considering Nyuru are very dangerous, it can be a pain to make safe progress past this for less skilled players (Tip: If you rewind to a pause state of ducking and unpause, you won't take a hit, but this makes things more complicated when trying to safely pass them.
- This game also suffers from sprite clipping, as many normal enemies will spawn/despawn at the edges of the screens.

All things combined sometimes leads to extra oddness on the edges and many bosses in the boss rooms will be seen clipping on both sides of the screen until they fully appear on screen.

Didn't encounter anything that prevented us from being able to finish the games and reach the credits.
