Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan

CollectorVision Games have announced that Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan is to get an update soon. It will bring the following improvements:

• Updated Controls: Added a keyboard mapping option and changed controller default controls so both Y and A are now assigned to Attack. The “Up + Attack” feature – intended for those using the awesome NES-style Switch controller – is now disabled by default (preventing accidental use by those using the standard controllers).
• Improved Difficulty Balance: The game is now more forgiving; players remain invincible a little longer after taking a hit – and a brand new save spot has been included at a convenient location early in the game.

Also, the game is currently on sale on the Nintendo eShop for $9.99, until November 10th. The sale will run from November 11th to November 24th in Europe.
