[quote=“princec”]More work on the explosions I think.

I’ve redone the explosions and I think it’s an improvement.

[quote=“ReBirth”]Nope, it just showed endless animation until I hit fire.

Sadly you need to score about 44k to get on the high score list - takes about 5 min of play. Unfortunately you just missed out with 39k. The animation shown is a splash screen that shows a little info about the game - I know modern PC games don’t have these but the idea is to put this game is going into an old arcade cabinet and old arcade games have splash screens. I quite like a splash screen anyway.

What do people think of the latest version (same old URL)?

@mike
Well if you said it was for arcade’s sake, then let’s go on ;D

Just to mention I’ve put a new update of the game out. Lots of new stuff. If anyone gets time then I’d love some constructive feedback. If the game is too loud then press P (Pause/Options) and change the sound level.

Thanks for trying it Cas. Sorry about the error. I have no clue what that error means and I’m not sure why you even get an error. Does it run/fail for anyone else?

I’ll admit webstart has it’s failings but the good thing about it is that it can run an app of the web and allow folks to install it on their PC’s for offline playing.
