Graphics are improved a tad bit. The flame is much cooler looking (similar to Lander 2) than it had been in the previous versions. All levels now have theme music to go along with them.

• 7Well made. I found it very difficult though, and not necessarily in a good way. The landings need to be extremely sensitive or you explode. It looks like you basically have to fall from a pixel above the landing pad or you explode. The 5x landing pad is harder to get to than the 10x landing pad.

I have been writing software and making video games for as long as I can remember. When I was 14 I discovered Allegro 3.1 and spent many subsequent years working with the library. I currently hold a B.S. in Computer Science and an M.S. in Mathematics. Upon graduation I entered the professional video game industry, and get paid to do what I love. While I do not currently believe that Allegro is an appropriate library for today's games, it still holds a special place in my heart. (View Profile)
