Damn I would *love* to have some sort of save point in this game... It looks fantastic, but trying to achieve a high score when you always start from the beginning is annoying

Played it all the way to victory, 779 points or something. Very nice game ^^.
I had a problem that near the end of the level, the music stopped (didn't loop).

Thanks for the post ^^. Yeah I forgot to loop the music :( Had to rush towards the end because it's a competition game and I was rapidly running out of time :(
The reason there's no save points is because it was for a 20 events competition, and the less events I used,the better, basically :) The lives are there so that the player doesn't have to put up with the intro every time they die :D

About the lives, I don't really understand why you didn't just give the player an infinite amount?
Giving them just 3 lives still means they have to sit through the intro every 3rd time they die, and there doesn't seem to be any advantage points-wise to beating the game on your first life rather than your second or third.
Other than that, I thought it was a pretty good game, I definitely liked the look and feel of it.

I liked it - but it's near unplayable for gamers with slower reactions.
I'd love to host a revised easier version - that would be more accessible to many disabled gamers using a single switch.
Maybe - not such a tight time limit - with the game sending you back a check-point rather than back to the very beginning (have always disliked games that do this to me).
Loved the graphics and sound and general design. Just wish it wasn't so hard.

I would have played it longer if it wasn't full of clichés.
Sorry.
