For TV
⚠️ Before I tell you how, I need to tell you something I don't really recommended playing Tromi on TV if you don't want your electricity bill to be a slap in the face.
If you can, plug in a keyboard or gamepad and play the original Tromi instead of this one.
You can still use the remote, but remember that it is not designed for gaming. And if you lose before the speed hits 20G, I implore you not to throw the remote at your TV and then curse me because your performance is worse than when you play on the keyboard.

A small note about the music:
Only mycophobia right now having the permission to music from Jerry Martin, I haven't got.
I sent an email about this issue (not mentioning about this game), but I haven't got any replies from them (I checked both my main inbox and spam too, nothing)
Both me and mycophobia can't give you a sub-license if you ask. What can I do is suggesting you to send an email about this (there is a chance that you may not receive any replies, but it's better than do nothing)
Special thanks
- mycophobia for writing the original Tromi
- MrZ_26 for the base of
VCTRLmodule (yea I stole from him his code ;-;) - C₂₉H₂₅N₃O₅ for his virtual key design (used while during inital development), and icon font (actually I extracted and re-pack as a new font from his orginal production file)
