Slick! In a way it's a shame that you decided to stop development on it, but all I can say is that I'm looking forward to your next game

Very cool game! I especially liked Level 4, although I must confess that I couldn't beat it.

I agree with the above poster. Although I would like to see more levels for this game, I'm looking forward to what game you'll make next(because you obviously know how to make them well).

Release a level editor :) It would be a blast to make levels for this (yes, I am volunteering!!)

Well done, EasilyConfused!!! It's a really fun to play game, because the levels are smartly created and, above everything else, the controls are SOOO tight! Impressive indeed!
I agree that it's a shame you're not releasing any more levels for that little gem, and was about to suggest just the same keeb did: release a level editor. I'm sure there'd be some people around (I offer myself, too...) who'd be more than pleased to add some extra levels to your game.

Keep it up!! :)

Thanks all. Unfortunatley, as I've explained in my journal where some similar comments have been made, I wrote the level editor with a second hand copy of Borland C++ Builder that I bought off ebay so I am unsure where I stand with regard to redistribution rights of the exe and the VCL DLLs.

I'm toying with the idea of writing a level editor either with Win32 API direct (scary), learning C# and writing one with Windows Forms (long process) or writing a full-screen one with Direct3D (would have to create a GUI) so if I ever finish that, I'll certainly release it with some settings to make Orc levels.

Hugely appreciate all the positive comments. Spurs me on for the next project.

[EDIT] A level editor is now available written in straight Win32 API with VS and statically linked so should run on anything. Details at my GameDev home page.
