Do you think you are going to make it 50 levels as planned?

I'm not sure. Right now I have 924 bytes in bank 2. I don't know if I have space for 9 rooms there. I added a new room, room #41. These are getting really harder, and I'm the one making the game!

I thought to myself when creating this stage "Since the bats go up and down, why not just make the bats be spikes instead?" Hours of crazy progamming ensued, and Room 42 is the result. I had to figure out where to put the spike ends sprite in the game (right after the walking sprites) since it depends on the pointer0. And so anyway, here. I've also put in the code in case you want to know how the spikes were done, but be warned: The code is abut 1,500 lines for the whole game.

Added a 44th level and a level selection thing. Press the game select switch for the level counter to increase. Also, the huge knives may be in jeopardy of being replaced by bats. I found that adding new playfield data moves around the pointer for the knife data. Something that I need to check often when adding a new level from now on. Which is why I put the level selection thing in.

Playing the game on real hardware. What really got me was level 36. I deemed it impossible, so I changed it to be a little easier. I also added a new level here. I got confused and thought level 45 was level 44 for some reason. I changed it and now it has 46 levels.

for some reason, I think that all of people on this screen should be labeled with the names of your favorite subscribers...

Hahah, missed opportunity! Those characters are actually all the graphics from the games tomorrow, at least one from each.
