Current Version Features
  • 11 levels of play.
  • Full-screen, 8-bit graphics with palette animation.

  • Functioning, "Level Info", "Level Restart", "Prev Level", "Next Level", and "Exit" buttons.
  • At any time in the game, you may press the "ESC" key to immediatly shut down the program (this is a debugging feature designed to get arounnd rebooting the machine in case of a lock-up and will be removed in the final release).

Known Issues & Bugs
  • On some computers, the game doesn't refresh correctly at first. If your screen is mostly blank except for a cursor when the starts (which should be indicated by music playing), then hit the F1 key, to cause a forced, full-screen refresh.
  • The game does not properly reactivate after pausing the game with ALT+ENTER, use ALT+TAB instead to leave the game running if you need to return to Windows.
