Developer comments

The first time I've seen that game on my HTC Desire I was really excited about its gameplay and spent about 3-4 hours playing it and trying to improve my own score. Not that long ago I've decided to implement it for PC using Python and pyGame. I hope you will like this game.

Tested on Windows and Linux.

What is new in this release:

• Server scores hotfix! Sending highscore to server was not working properly. It should be ok now.
• I want to notice again that the global scoring works only in windows binary version yet to avoid cheating :) I will do something to make it safely work in source version in next releases.

What is new in version 1.0.0 RC2:

• Collision system works very stable and precise now.
• However the main feature of this version is server leaderboards so you can play it and see the global scores of other players.
• Unfortunatelly global leadearboards work under windows only (you should start the .exe file). I've made this intentionally to avoid scores cheating by changing the source code.
• I think I will invent something to make the source code version to be able to safely access global scores in one of the next releases.
• Anyway even when running from the sources you can see the global scores but unable to participate in it.
• Please note, that there is no waiting screen during getting scores from server and sending scores to the server, so it may seem that the game hangs for a little time after entering a name or trying to get the global leaderboards. Don't worry it is normal behaviour and don't try to interrupt this proccess.
• The server I've found is free of charge PHP hosting therefor it doesn't work very fast. But it is better than nothing.
• and other minor improvements...

Requirements:

• Python
• pygame
