You know, if anyone ever wants to complain about how difficult my games are, I will refer all comments to this game in the future. :D :D :D You really took the difficulty to the 11 here, but that does not make it less enjoyable. I also like your lowres approach to the graphics. I wish more games were like that from time to time.
On a whim, I flipped through the source and I saw some neat ways you handled the graphics and audio. I did not take the code (that is not how or who I am), but I did take notes.
This game is a candidate for the bread award! Thanks for your followup on this.
