Blupimania: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
Blupimania is the actively maintained continuation of the game, built with SDL2 for Linux, Windows, and macOS, though its own README directs contributors to a separate companion 'dev bundle' repository for actual development work. Blupimania Legacy instead preserves the last known MS-DOS source used to build the game, provided for historical and study purposes rather than as a working build, and its own development has halted.
