For more accuracy to a 2600, I suggest modifying the sprites to have only one color per scanline. 2600 sprites were single-color, but games often changed that color during the sprite's display.

And backgrounds should only have 2 colors per scanline. Some lines in the screenshot have 3 (light blue, dark blue and black, for example), which would be kinda hard (although not impossible) to pull off on the 2600.

I know the hardware limitations of the Atari 2600. In this game it comes with a somewhat similar style, but not completely identical ;) Anyway, at the present moment is all (graphics) can still change.

The scoring system similar to the old, first Pitfall game. The difference is that the score in the game decreases continuously, the sooner we finish the game, the more points you get.
