    Looking good.

    Only niggle I find with the pic is I would add a sliver of a shadow from his head to his suit. OR ... remove the shadow from the boot.

    Changes I've noticed, although I don't have any audio on this machine and I've only had a quick go:

    Timer is now time not an meter scale.

    New effect when running into a nasty, a smoky cloud

    Running over one of the electrical points causes frank to jump around in shock rather than wobble as before

    Game over message

    Smoother jumping routine, and he jumps above the platform then lands gracefully

    Shouldn't it be 'Re-bolted'?

    You didn't mention the most important change: the "even levels" were completely redesigned.

    In the original game, they didn't offer any challenge, but now they are about as good as the "odd levels" although in a different style (kinda like a puzzle-action "Donkey Kong"). In practice, it's like 2 different games alternating each level, thus twice the fun!

    There will be a few more "odd levels" also, but I don't think they are available yet. You will have to wait for the final version.

    Cool! :smile:

    ... and, Einar, I suppose this game won't be bug-fixed! ;-)

    I'm fairly sure there's no need this time :)

    Actually I think it's just a raised eyebrow a la Roger Moore

    Who would of thought what started out as an enquiry about an error message on level 7 or level 9 has spiralled to this :)

    All good. :D
