Interesting. Your game is like a true retro. And youn speak about some retro title. Manic Miner... i never played it, speaking the true. But i like retro games, as idea.
Yes, you are right... Many ideas..and only few can go to release. This is cause, i think, humans, all over the world are stupid monkeys...And they are not computers or cyborgs...and if to be a cyborg then you can make all your ideas real in code!
Good retro game! 80s, man!
