WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR

Being generous, there are some ideas of a game in here. But goodness there
are a lot of problems. :-) If you're lucky you might make it through a level
by combination of sheer grit, determination and dumb luck, but I gave up and
added invulnerability cheats to make my testing life easier!

I've fixed all the usual suspects like empty loops and blitter waits, but
I'm afraid the game is just the same as before.

Enjoy... I guess? ;-)
