Progress thus far:
I'll post the download once the competition is complete
That's some rather beautiful pixel work you've got going on there !
WOW! very nice.
FINISHED! YAY!
gameplay turned out to be a bit more stategic than fast-paced, but meh. Fun stuff anyway. Try it, you'll like it! make sure to view the help files in-game! Half way through the competition I discovered that the rules state "no stock-sound allowed." I'm not much of a composer, but for someone who doesn't read music I think I did fairly well.

Yes, this is indeed rather cool. You guys seem to be making a habit of coming up with nice quality products in minimal time. Although, is there any reason why your using a prehistoric version of PB ? :)
thanks kevin. I had to reinstall playbasic, and didn't download the update. You know though, its actually very hard to find the most recent update patch. Maybe you can put it on your main site that's easily accessable?
Perhaps the Maintenance forum would be a good place to start in future. :)

absolutely stunning stuff as usual. just fantastic!
Just played it last night ... very good! I wish I could get the level of presentation you have here. Are you going to develop it further now the competition is over?( its such a good concept; it deserves more levels, and maybe improced collision detection)
Mark.
